Jump bigger. Land on an airbag.
Airbags are how riders learn big jumps without the big consequences, and almost nobody gets to ride one. In this clinic you get a 3-foot Ninja Altitude ramp and the Ninja Airbag Lander all session long, with a certified Ninja coach opening the gap from zero up to 6 feet.

Airbags are rare. This is your shot.
You won’t find an airbag lander at your local trail. In this clinic, a Ninja Airbag Lander and Ninja Altitude ramp are set up just for your small group, and you get to use them for the whole session.
- An airbag, all session longRep after rep on a full-size Ninja Airbag Lander. No waiting for a turn at a bike park, no special access needed.
- Go bigger without the fearThe airbag takes the scary part out of the landing, so you can commit to the takeoff and feel what a real 3-foot jump and gap are like.
- Coached on every jumpA certified Ninja coach watches every attempt, gives you feedback and opens the gap with you, from zero up to 6 feet.
You don’t need to be a pro.
The photos look big, but this clinic is built for everyday riders who want to jump with more confidence. If either of these sounds like you, you’re ready:
- You’ve been mountain biking for 2+ years
- Or you’ve taken almost any Ninja clinic before: Fundamentals, Jumping, Intermediate / Advanced, a Camp or an Adventure
Everyone starts with the ramp right up against the airbag, with zero gap. Your coach only moves it back when you’re ready, and you set the pace.

- Open the gap, step by stepAs you show you’ve got the skills, your coach slowly pulls the ramp back to create a bigger gap. You only move on when you’re ready.
- Fly the gapDepending on how you progress, the gap can extend all the way to 6 feet, with coaching after every attempt.

FAQ
How is this different from the Jumping Mini-Clinic?
The Mini-Clinic uses jumps up to 24 inches high with gaps up to about 4 feet. The Airbag Clinic uses the 36-inch Ninja Altitude ramp and a gap that starts at zero and can extend up to 6 feet, landing on the Ninja Airbag Lander.
I’m nervous about the gap. Is that OK?
Yes. Everyone starts with the ramp right up against the airbag, with no gap at all. Your coach only moves the ramp back when you’ve shown you’re ready, so the gap grows at your pace.
Do I have to have taken a Ninja clinic first?
No. If you’ve been riding for 2 or more years you can sign up directly. Otherwise, any previous Ninja clinic (Fundamentals, Intermediate / Advanced, a Camp, an Adventure or a Jumping Clinic) qualifies you.
How long is the clinic?
It’s a half-day clinic in a small group. You’ll find the exact start and end times on each date’s page.
