COME SHRED WITH THE LADIES!

Looking to improve your confidence on the bike and take your riding to the next level?

Our Women's Only Fundamentals clinic teaches you the same important lessons as our Co-ed Fundamentals Clinic in a supportive, un-intimidating manner.  Learn with the encouragement of your peers!

Are you ready to test your limits without any unnecessary pressure? Do you find yourself riding the same trail in the same old way? Are you looking for a refresher of the fundamentals? Or, perhaps you're new to mountain biking and looking for a boost in your riding confidence?

YES, this clinic is great for beginners, BUT it's truly a foundational clinic that's appropriate for riders of all levels and experience.

Join us to learn the correct body position on the bike, gain an understanding of how to effectively use your brakes, float over roots and rocks like they aren’t there, nail that pesky switchback and ASK QUESTIONS! Find how to control your fear and stay relaxed.

Our Women’s only mountain bike skills clinic will give you more confidence on the trails and put an entirely new spin on your riding!

Join us for a challenging and fun 2-day camp on some of the best trails around!

Our 2-day camp gives you a chance to build up and clean up your toolbox of mountain biking skills; from the fundamentals to  wheels lifts, high-speed cornering, drops, technical features and so much more!  Join us for a full weekend of skills that will equip you to better handle a variety of terrain with speed and efficiency.

This comprehensive Ninja program allows you to put the entire ninja curriculum together into one epic weekend.  The camp kicks off with an overview of the foundational riding skills and builds up to more advanced material over the course of the weekend including jumping, high speed cornering, technical climbing/descending, drops and more.

The weekend is taught in a progressive format meaning each skill builds on another, giving everyone an opportunity to progress at their own pace!

Are you ready to take your mountain biking to new heights, literally?

Jumping your mountain bike is NOT as simple as Ready. Set. JUMP!

Learning how to safely and successfully jump (and land) your mountain bike involves a range of key components and constantly changing variables.  Join us as we take you through a series of progressions that will help you understand all the components that come together to create a successful jump.  We'll start with basic wheel lifts, manuals and bunny hops and work our way up to weighting and un-weighting over a jump.  From there, we'll review the anatomy of a jump, discuss varied landings and practice using compression for height and distance.   Then we will be ready to get jumping!

All training is done in a controlled environment, either on an appropriate feature (table top) on the local trails or using manufactured jump ramps.

By the end of this clinic, our goal is to have you successfully clearing a 4-5 foot jump (approximately 2 feet in the air) and landing safely and predictably.  Participants are encouraged to learn at their own pace in this un-intimidating environment.  You will leave this clinic well on your way to jumping mastery - with a more thorough understanding of the mechanics of jumping your bike and a clear idea of what and how to practice!

Come jump with us - sign up today!

**Please note, we require 2 years riding experience or previous attendance at a Ninja Fundamentals Clinic, Intermediate/Advanced Clinic, Camp or Adventure to attend a Jumping Mini-Clinic.

Ninja Kids

Are your kids between the ages of 8-12 and excited about mountain biking? Ninja Kids covers the key skills they need to become a safer and more proficient rider (all while having FUN)!

Is your kiddo new to mountain biking?  Or have they been riding for a while but need help making their way down the trail?  Maybe they’re not listening to your riding advice and you need someone else to teach them about staying safe and in control on their bike?  We’re here to help!

We recognize that kids learn differently than adults, so we have developed a kid-friendly, fun and engaging curriculum that covers the key foundational skills that every young mountain biker should learn.  Through games, drills and trail riding, your kid will leave with a new level of confidence on their bike and more tools in their riding toolbox. Keep in mind, this is not a group ride or a babysitting session.  Ninja Kids, like all Ninja programs, is focused on skills development. Each skill is taught in a step-by-step manner with each skill building off the one before allowing kids to progress at their own pace with the encouragement of certified Ninja instructors and other young riders.  What better way to inspire young riders than surrounded by a group of their peers!

After attending a Ninja Kids clinic, be prepared for your kid to start correcting your form on the bike. “One finger braking, Mom!!  Dad, you’re too far back on your bike!”. They grow up so fast, don’t they?

Whether your kids are just getting started with mountain biking, dreaming of leaving their siblings in the dust or gearing up for a race, Ninja Kids is the perfect place to start. Set your kids up for mountain biking success by signing them up for a Ninja Kids program today!

6:1 student to instructor ratio, no more than 12 kids per clinic. No prior mountain biking experience required, but all participants should be comfortable riding a two-wheel bicycle. All bikes must have hand brakes and mountain bike tires. No coaster brake bikes will be allowed (they’re dangerous for mountain biking!).

Looking to tackle technical terrain?  Ready to add confidence to your riding? Want to exit a corner with speed?

Want to improve your technical riding skills, descend a little faster and generally feel more confident on your bike?  You've come to the right place!  Leave this clinic ready to tackle rougher terrain and corners with greater speed and control.  Negotiate bigger trail obstacles and drops with commitment!  This clinic will also help you boost your speed on flat corners, bermed corners and flowing singletrack; all achieved with less pedaling and better use of the trails natural features.  It's all about the flow!

The Intermediate/Advanced clinic builds upon the fundamentals and gives you a full toolbox of mountain bike skills that you can apply to any terrain, in any location, and in any conditions; be it a gnarly backcountry trail or your local race course.  This full-day clinic also looks closely at the key elements to finding your flow and builds upon your existing foundation to improve your trail speed and energy management.

You must have a minimum of two years riding experience or have attended a Ninja fundamentals skills clinic or mountain bike skills camp in the last year to join us for this clinic.
