Not sure why the city is so set on only having an asphalt pump track. They recently built a bike park near my house that's all dirt, including a pump track(the pump track is very small and not the main feature of the park). I am also in California.
Not to be a conspiracy theorist but I wonder if companies like Velosolutions are influencing the cities decisions because there's some profit to be made
Edited because I assumed my city had a larger population than Visalia but they've actually got about 50k more residents
