Your Trail, Your Terms | Dominate Every Ride ➡️

Kim Godfrey

Originally from Chicago (where there are no mountains) this Honey Badger moved west in search of endless outdoor fun. At first she raced off-road triathlon, then raced XC to get better on the bike for triathlon, decided one sport was more simple that three… and realized she hated climbing but liked descending. After six years of spandex she found her way to racing downhill mtb, and in 18 months won a National Championship in 2014 and got her pro upgrade. She also got certified to coach at the same time and loves the balance of ripping down the mountain at mach chicken as well as helping other riders learn to have more fun on their bikes. She’s constantly in a vacation time deficit to travel the country racing bikes and coaching.

Favorite Riding Partner

My fiance Kristine, we have opposite strengths and she always finds the fun lines. Then we challenge each other to see who can huck a feature the farthest. We are always striving to half-wheel each other!

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?

It would be a magical land that’s warm and never snows, shuttle roads for downhill trails that always have right of way… and isn’t too windy.

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

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.

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...

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.
