It’s time to increase your mountain bike confidence!
Our next Mountain Bike Camp is just around the corner and we are getting a TON of questions about these three-day adventures. We figure that if some of you have questions, then all (ok, at least most) of you have questions. So, to answer them, we’ve put together this handy-dandy, easy-to-read guide, which starts with listing all of our camp locations for 2015. Read on to find enlightenment!
The camps are designed for the enthusiast rider or avid racer that is looking to build up and clean up their “toolbox” of mountain bike skills in order to handle a variety of terrain at speed.
We blend an in-depth version of our traditional Intermediate – Advanced skills training with coached riding sessions and several mini-seminars on hot topics like nutrition, altitude acclimatization, and the perfect bike set-up.
After camp, you will see an immediate improvement in your riding and will have a boost in confidence on technical trails. You will be able to tackle rougher terrain and trickier corners with greater control and flow through single track, switchbacks, and berms with far more speed and efficiency.
You can think of our camps as an awesome opportunity for what we like to call a “traincation”a fun-filled vacation in which you get to spend most of your time doing what you like to do most, ride your mtb. You can find the detailed camp schedule here.

Here’s What People Are Saying About Us …
Best. Investment. Ever. Ninja Mountain Bike Skills will definitely bring up your riding level a notch or two. Being able to get instant feedback from the instructor (s) in this case Richard La China and his assistant is invaluable. From getting the correct riding position to improving the skills necessary to have a fast flow through the trails builds confidence and is the key to having more fun when mountain bike riding. Also I’ve taken one-on-one lessons (with Richard La China) and it really speeds up the learning (in my case it was basic jumping) in any area where you deem to be weak in or just need improvement. ~ Thad G.
