Onda's pump track sits on Calle Segorbe, right next to the town's Skatepark, facing the fire station. It's a closed loop with rollers, jumps and banked turns built to be ridden without pedalling or pushing off with a foot: momentum comes purely from the rider's own body motion on the bike, scooter or skates, the technique known as pumping.
What a pump track actually is
A pump track is a short, closed circuit built from banked turns and a chain of rollers with no flat sections in between. The trick is using your own body weight, pumping it down into every dip and up over every crest, to build speed without pedalling or kicking off. The better you read the line, the less effort it takes to keep the rhythm going.
It's not exclusive to cycling either: the same track works for BMX, mountain bikes, scooters and inline skates, each finding its own way to carry momentum through the turns.
Two tracks, two skill levels
The facility is split into two separate, fenced-off zones for safety. The main track has a more technical layout with tighter turns and bigger jumps, aimed at teenagers, adults and anyone with riding experience already. Right next to it, a beginner's pump track for kids with gentler rollers lets younger riders learn to read the line and find their balance without any prior experience.
A circuit designed together with local clubs
The circuit opened in late 2022 after a consultation process between the council and the municipality's sports clubs: Club Ciclista Sepelaco and BTT Onda took part in the planning meetings alongside local skate representatives, which is why the result works for cyclists and skaters alike without either group getting in the other's way. It's considered one of the largest and most modern tracks of its kind in Castellón province.
What you can ride and what's on site
Access is free and open, no booking and no fixed hours. You can ride BMX, mountain bikes (MTB), Dirt Jump bikes, scooters and inline skates. The facility is fenced off from traffic with a solid drainage system so rain doesn't pool on the surface, and it shares the Skate Park's surroundings, which include drinking water fountains.
The streets around it are wide, so parking nearby isn't usually an issue, even during the busiest after-school and weekend hours.
Getting there
The track is on Calle Segorbe, facing Onda's fire station, in a wide-streeted area on the edge of town. By car it's a few minutes from the centre; on foot, expect a longer walk than to anywhere in the historic quarter.
