2,173 REVIEWS – 5 STAR RATING ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Recently at a kid’s mountain bike race, we watched as a young child crossed the finish line beaming and dirty, through his smile he screamed, “I don’t want this to be over!”.  Young or old, none of us want the playing to stop when we are out on our mountain bike.

Fortunately, Ninja Mountain Bike Performance has just the solution…  Whether its learning a new skill, building community or a destination ride that just keeps on going, Ninja Clinics, Mini-Clinics, Camps, Adventures and Tours are designed to keep you on the dirt longer, here’s how:

Clinics

Our Clinics are designed as a half or full day event that will give you the core skills to tackle technical trails with confidence and commitment. Clinics focus on a variety of skills from the foundational to advanced level.

You are given the opportunity to test the skills you have learned and gain instant feedback in a supportive environment. Clinics are designed to improve your riding and boost your confidence.

Mini-Clinics

These 2-3 hour events provide you with in depth training on a specific skill.  Whether it is jumping, high-speed cornering, switch-backs or a personal limitation that has been holding your riding back, these events will give you the confidence to take your riding to the next level.

Mini-clinics are taught in a progressive manner so you will be able to break down each skill into tangible steps.

Camps

Camps combine skills training with more time on the trail riding your bike for maximum practice and feedback. Over 2 days you will have the opportunity to learn on the trail while taking time to session out technical features.

Not only do camps provide you more time with experienced coaches but also gives you the chance to build your mountain bike community by meeting other riders in your region.

Adventures

Adventure camps provide all the training from a regular camp but place you in a highly sought after destination ride. Through experience we have identified some of the best trails in the US to give you a combination of learning and epic riding.

In these 2-3 day events, you will ride 10+ miles daily and gain confidence on your bike by having the ability to learn while on the trail.  Adventure camps not only provide you with professional instruction but allow you to ride in an amazing locale while somebody guides the way.   We are happy to recommend accommodations for this type event.

Tours

Have you found yourself wanting to spend all your energy on riding and have someone else deal with the logistics, well this is it! Ninja Tours are an all-inclusive, multi-day events that will let you keep on riding. Unlike our other events, Tours have limited skills training and instead focus on riding some of the best riding in your event destination.

After a day of shredding with new friend, sit back, relax, eat great food, enjoy a refreshing beverage and wait for it to start all over again the next day.  The Ninja tour will be your next epic mountain bike vacation.   Both international and amazing in country terrain to choose from.

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 skills (because I had), I began searching for a mountain bike skills camp.  I wanted to attend a camp that would push me to be a better rider, but I needed it to be in a great location on actual trails.  After a fair amount of searching, I decided that spending a weekend at a Ninja Mountain Bike Skills camp would be perfect.  It didn't hurt that the camp was in Big Bear. The condensed review: It took only a few hours of trail riding with Richard and Daniel to drastically change my riding for the better. The long review: The camp was broken into morning and afternoon sessions, separated by an amazing lunch on each day.  The morning sessions were, in general, based on technique and riding isolated technical features.  The afternoon sessions functioned more like a capstone; we rode incredible trails, like Fall Line and Skyline, and put our newly-learned skills into action. Richard and Daniel were attentive to both the class as a whole as well as each individual.  The pacing of each individual lesson (I'm a teacher, so I viewed each piece as a lesson) was wonderful.  There were constant checks for understanding as well as incremental assessments of our skills on the bike.  We were never once, all weekend, bogged down in repetition, nor were we rushed through a skill or concept.  I was blown away by the sheer volume of skills that were taught in such an easy-to-grasp manner. Of course, we were not standing by our bikes the whole time listening to a lecture: we were actively riding while Daniel and Richard looked on with critical eyes.  Richard was clear in his introduction...

Hands down, enrolling in the Intermediate/Advanced clinic was the best thing I've ever done to improve my speed and ability on the bike. I am so much faster on singletrack and through technical sections/jumps that even if people are more fit than me, I still keep up with them (and kind of love watching them do a lot more work than they need to). Richard and Kris are fantastic and break things down in a way that makes sense and is manageable. By the end of my first clinic, I was jumping off ledges and power climbing up sections that I couldn't drive a car up. You could buy a $5,000 carbon bike and do 10,000 ft rides every day, but you will get the best return on any investment you make in your riding by attending a Ninja Skills Clinic. ~ Regina J.

My 14 year old son and I (I'm 43) went to the Intermediate/advanced skills clinic at Malibu Creek State Park. We both race and ride at a very fast pace. Getting faster for us is about making sure our fundamentals are solid and we can continue to use those fundamentals to smooth out our flow to increase our skills and confidence. Richard has a way of breaking down all the information to make it very understandable and usable. My son and I have been to other skills classes before and knew what to expect, mostly. Richard was able to coach us to better form riding high speed flat corners! We brushed up on and cleaned up some less helpful habits. We really worked to understand the how and why behind some skills that we already had but didn't know we that we did. All in all we had a blast! Richard was fun and informative. Taylor was helping Richard out for the day. It was fun to watch her demo some skills at speed. Her input throughout the day was informative and light hearted. It was a fun day on the bike with some great people and coaching. This will not be our last Ninja training clinic! Thanks for everything Richard and Taylor! ~Eric Zubick

Ninja Mountain Bike Skills is a warm and friendly environment to learn new skills and hone ones you already know.  It's a non intimidating environment where mistakes are welcomed so corrections can be made.  I own G2 Bike is Aliso Viejo and this clinic has been ran out of the Aliso Woods area and when I interviewed the clients they had all but great things to say.  None arrogant instructors and easy to follow steps. The biggest bang for many was meeting new area riders at their skill level, gaining confidence, and getting the bike set up and fit properly.  G2 Bike looks forward to many more of these clinics in this area.  Thanks Richard for all you do for the MTB community! ~ AJ S.
