For the riders, the 2024 Velosolutions UCI Pump Track World Championships was about more than just the stripes. It was a chance to connect with a global pump track family and be part of something bigger than the race itself. For the people of KwaMashu, it was about seeing the world land in their neighbourhood—witnessing the speed, skill, and energy that transformed their local track into a global stage.
Set against the rhythm of KwaMashu, this documentary captures the moments in between—the young riders watching wide-eyed from the fence line, the electric race-day buzz, and the conversations that happened as much off the track as on it.
Through the voices of the riders, it tells the story of a shared love for pump track, the passion behind the series, and how Pump for Peace was woven into every part of the event—ensuring that this wasn’t just a race, but a legacy in the making. Because sport isn’t just about winning. It’s about who it reaches, what it leaves behind, and the doors it opens next.
In South Africa, a stoep is more than just a porch—it’s where stories are told, friendships are made, and communities come together. It’s a place of connection, just like the track in KwaMashu became during the World Championships.
