Excited to be a part of the International Trails Summit and get back to the East Coast for a bit 🤙

A little more fun along the way.

Meet Rad Routes—three concrete rollers alongside an existing recreation path. Riders can take the rollers, then merge back onto the main path. The flat route stays open for everyone.

Benchmark Tracks is looking for pilot communities to help bring the first Rad Routes to life. Our system is designed for installation by city crews or local concrete contractors, with hands-on support from us.

Have a spot in mind? Special pilot pricing is available. Send us a message to learn how easily your city could be the first!

Learn to ride. Keep riding.

We’re working toward bringing a Benchmark Tracks concrete pumptrack to a Pierre elementary school, paired with an All Kids Bike learn-to-ride program with support from Strider.

From those first pedal strokes to cruising over rollers, the goal is simple: give kids a place to build skills, gain confidence and have fun on a bike!

Thanks to KCCR for sharing the story and to the Pierre School Board for hearing our proposal. Excited to bring this opportunity to our hometown!

PIERRE, (KCCR) -- Could a Pierre Elementary school be home to Pierre's first pump track? Mike Mueller and Uria...

This is what it’s all about. Kids on bikes, trying something new, and coming back for another lap. 🤙

Our Benchmark Tracks prototype rollers got some ride time at Great Bear Ski Valley for the Falls Area Singletrack Enduro Race and Take a Kid Mountain Biking Day!

Huge thanks to for setting up our rollers and getting kids riding, and for capturing the action.

Small rollers. Big fun. More reasons to ride.

Registration is open for the International Trails Summit!

We’re officially registered as an exhibitor and can’t wait to unveil Benchmark Tracks—our proprietary system for building permanent concrete pump tracks.

We’ll also be looking to connect with early-adopter communities and experienced contractors interested in completing authorized installations, with the opportunity to eventually become certified Benchmark Tracks installers.

This will be a big step for us, and we’re excited to finally start sharing what we’ve been working on. See you at the Summit!

🎉 Registration is officially OPEN for the 2027 International Trails Summit!

Join American Trails and Professional Trailbuilders Association April 13–15, 2027 in Durham, North Carolina, for three days bringing together the trail community from across the country and around the world.

We’re expecting 850+ attendees and 60+ exhibitors from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors, with sessions, networking, and a half-day offsite experience.

🐦 Planning to join us? Early bird registration is your best deal — register by December 1 to save. Members must contact American Trails for the discount code.

Field trips, technical trainings, and other pre- and post-Summit opportunities will open for registration later this year.

Durham, here we come!

The next generation of pump tracks is ready to take shape!

Benchmark Tracks is seeking select launch sites for our V1 **Early Learners Series**—designed for balance bikes, young riders, and learn-to-ride programs.

Our patent-pending system delivers:

* Precision-formed, confidence-building geometry
* Durable, low-maintenance concrete construction
* Consistent ride quality
* A faster, more repeatable installation process

We’re looking for elementary schools, parks, campgrounds, housing developments, and youth-focused community spaces.

Public projects can often access grants, sponsorships, and other funding sources. We can help school superintendents, park and recreation directors, nonprofits, and community organizations develop a funding strategy to help make an installation possible.

Interested in bringing a Benchmark Track to your community? Send us a message.

What if we could build a better pump track?

That simple question has driven the past few years of development and led to the patent-pending Benchmark Tracks V1 system.

Today, we're excited to share the first public renderings of our three inaugural layouts: the Speed Oval, Triangle, and Hourglass.

From the beginning, the goal wasn't to create just another modular pump track. It was to rethink how pumptracks are built—from how they're designed and constructed to how they're installed, maintained, & experienced by riders.

Every decision has been intentional.

• An 8-foot-wide riding surface that provides a more comfortable, forgiving, and confidence-inspiring experience.

• Geometry informed by anthropometric data and developed in collaboration with some of the world's leading experts in child rider development.

• Geometry informed by drone photogrammetry and quantitative analysis of real-world pump tracks, helping us identify the design characteristics that create a predictable, confidence-inspiring ride—and those that don't.

• A precast system designed for streamlined installation with basic site preparation.

• Competitive project costs without sacrificing ride quality or durability.

• Factory-produced precision for consistent geometry from module to module.

• Long-term durability backed by a comprehensive warranty.

These three layouts are just the beginning. Our vision is to provide communities, schools, campgrounds, bike parks, and destinations with a system that delivers world-class riding while making installation simpler, more predictable, and more accessible.

A sincere thank you to Brock Smith of Divergent Designs for translating countless ideas into an elegant, buildable system, and to Eirik Heikes and the team at Interstate Engineering for bringing these first concepts to life. This project has been a true collaboration, and we're excited to finally begin sharing it.

There's much more to come!

Exciting things are happening in Aberdeen!

This Aberdeen News video does a great job highlighting the Leadership Aberdeen program and the incredible energy behind the Aberdeen Bike Park Project. For 2025, the Leadership Aberdeen class chose to take on a bold community recreation project: helping bring a bike park to Aberdeen.

Benchmark Trails has been fortunate to help the class with early concepts and guidance as the vision started taking shape. A local engineering firm also stepped up by donating time from their engineers and landscape architects to develop general plans that can help kickstart fundraising and grant opportunities.

The next big goal is securing funding for a new concrete pump track — and this is exactly where Benchmark Tracks is focused on changing the game.

Benchmark Tracks’ patent-pending precast concrete pump tracks are designed to bring real quality, consistency, and long-term value to communities. Unlike many other modular pump track products found globally, our system is 8 feet wide and designed to meet international skatepark standards. It isn’t “sort of” a pump track. It’s a real pump track — just built right.

Our precast concrete system is built for durability in northern climates like South Dakota, where freeze-thaw cycles can create long-term maintenance issues for asphalt tracks. Instead of relying on hand-shaped asphalt, sub-base work, and frequent resurfacing, Benchmark Tracks uses a repeatable geometry system that has been years in development.

That means communities can invest in a pump track with professional-quality ride feel, consistent geometry, long-term durability, and a product that can be replicated from project to project.

Huge credit to the Leadership Aberdeen class for dreaming big and pushing this project forward. Projects like this create more than recreation — they create healthy gathering spaces, youth opportunities, tourism value, and long-term community pride.

Benchmark Trails and Benchmark Tracks are proud to have played a role in helping this idea move from concept toward reality.
