If you’ve been searching for REI mountain bike skills classes, you may have noticed a change. REI recently announced that they are closing their Experiences business, which includes their nationwide mountain biking skills clinics. While this marks the end of an era for REI’s popular classes, it also opens up new opportunities for riders seeking high-quality instruction across the country.
At Ninja Mountain Bike Performance, we recognize how important it is to have access to exceptional skills training to improve your riding, confidence, and overall enjoyment of the sport. With REI stepping away from this space, we’re proud to now stand as the only company offering nationwide mountain bike skills clinics.

I would much rather support MTB NINJA over some off based corporate entity anyway. Having not taken an REI class, I dont know about their quality of instruction but I will say this: That the 2 day MTB NINJA clinics will fill you mind with the loads info needed to make you a MUCH BETTER rider. The Ninja instructors know the tricks and tactics to make sure you have a great experience and progress in your riding beyond anything you could do on your own. Not to mention thet they are just a bunch of cool people to begin with!
