About Ivan Valentine

(IMBA Level I Certified)

Ivan began his cycling career at an early age by building a series of poorly constructed ramps. He usually didn’t hurt himself. In 2008 Ivan joined Texas 4000 for Cancer riding 4500 miles from Austin, Texas to Anchorage, Alaska, and completing a self supported double century in the mountains of British Columbia.

Upon rediscovering mountain biking in 2014, Ivan quickly turned into a reformed dirt-lover. Holding on to his passion for endurance riding, Ivan raced the High Cascades 100 in 2016. He continues to participate in local endurance events, such as SDMBA’s Archipelago Ride, and is enthusiastic about sharing skills and experiences with those who love being outdoors. When off the bike, Ivan participates in local and international sailing races and can be found at the climbing gym.

Ivan is IMBA Level 1 Certified.  He’s a great technical rider who loves helping rider take their riding to the next level!

Just finished a two day skills workshop in Dallas. To say it was the best money I've ever spent on mountain biking would be an understatement.

Well worth your time if you want to improve!
We attended the 2-Day Mountain Bike Skills Camp in Denver CO. I'm a beginner to mountain biking and the class exceeded my expectations. The first day was basic fundamental training from bunny hops to cornering your bike. The second day we put those skills to the test by climbing and downhill at all different skill levels, Richard and Aaron even took video to help improve our skills. Well worth your time if you want to improve!

Best investment ever. The Ninja mountain bike skill clinics will definitely bring up your riding level a notch or two.

Highly recommended! Essential riding skills are thoroughly broken down making them easy to understand and learn. Coach Richard and Kris are some of the most professional and pleasant coaches/cyclist/people I have come across. Looking forward to one of their future clinics.
