SPIRIT MOUNTAIN LIFT TICKET

All 2 Day Camp and Intermediate / Advanced Clinic participants will need to purchase a lift ticket for SUNDAY.  The clinics / camps taking place on Saturday do not need a lift ticket (Fundamentals, Jumping, and day one of the 2 Day Camp). 

  • Lift tickets can be purchased here –>SPIRIT MTN LIFT TICKET
  • The weather is looking good for Sunday, however, please wait until Saturday night to purchase this ticket so we can be sure the forecast is good to go (tickets are non-refundable unless the weather shuts the lift down for the day). If there is any drastic change in the forecast, check here for updates.
  • Spirit Mountain does not recommend waiting until Sunday morning to do an online lift ticket purchase (their website sometimes glitches with those).  You can purchase a lift ticket on-site but they cost slightly more.
  • You will pick up your physical lift ticket during a break in the clinic.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of pedals should I have on my bike?

We recommend you ride whatever pedals you’re most comfortable with.  If you learned on clipless pedals (clipped in), then please bring those.  However, we have found that it’s much easier to learn the majority of the skills with flat pedals if you have some experience on them.  Notably, flat pedals are designed to be worn with flat soled shoes (i.e. flat soled mtb specific shoes, skater shoes, vans). 

Do I need pads?

Pads are not mandatory at any of our clinics or camps, but we highly recommend you bring (and use) them.  We’ve seen a set of pads give our participants that added level of safety and comfort needed for them to have a light-bulb breakthrough moment.

Can I ride an e-bike at this event?

Ninja welcomes e-bikes at our clinics that are held on e-bike friendly trails. We encourage you to do your own research on local e-bike regulations and if you aren’t sure, check with us to see if e-bikes are permitted at the venue you’re considering joining us at.  Please note, not all Ninja teaching venues are open to e-bikes.

Should I tip my instructors?

While gratuity is not required or expected,  it’s certainly appreciated by your instructors! 5-10% for each guest is Industry Standard for exceptional service, support, and expertise. Unless you’d like to tip separately, instructors divide tips among themselves.

Carolina M.

Enrolling in the Intermediate/Advanced clinic was the best thing I’ve ever done to improve my speed and ability on the bike.

Mark S.

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. Our instructor was a wonderful teacher and just a real pleasure to be around kind of guy. I highly recommend Ninja for anyone from novice to advanced riders as they cover just about anything and everything that will make you a more rounded rider. Thanks so much for all the advice and coaching!

Peter R.

Great clinic. Just what I needed to better know how to handle situations on the trail to maintain speed/momentum and...

Gerald Gilbert

Overall, the camp exceeded my expectations. I have, like many cyclists, been riding bikes since childhood. Feeling like I hit a plateau in my technical riding...

Ricky S.

That was time well spent – thanks Coach Richard! That was time well spent – thanks Coach Richard! If you do more clinics, I’d recommend them to my friends.

Russ A.

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!

Jayla G.

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

Marcus M.

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.
