The fastest way to make it stick
Learn the movement from a coach. At a Ninja clinic you get the technique and real-time feedback. Find a clinic near you.
Put in the reps at home. A few minutes on a Skills Station between rides turns the movement into muscle memory.
Take it to the trail. Manuals, wheel lifts and narrow lines start to feel automatic.
What riders say
“The manual machine is extremely stable and has been very helpful. I haven’t mastered the manual yet but can see that I will with practice. My dropping has already improved because of the work I’ve put in on the machine.”
“Riding skinnys was a big fear for me, but this set is perfect for mastering precision on your bike (safely). Really durable and the adjustable height is a big plus!”
“Excellent balance work device. Pretty easy to set up and get started right away. Have used it several times already and will continue thru the inclement weather months to improve my balance and maybe get a manual?!”
“Perfect for those rainy days when you can’t hit the trails but still want to practice. Really happy with this bundle. I link it up with my Approach ramps as well for extra skill challenges.”
“Great trainer that serves dual purpose as a bike rack, can pull bike into full wheelie and up against wall to keep out of way.”
“Became my go-to for skill training. Incredibly well-made and offers a great challenge for any rider wanting to improve.”
