Questions
Good to know
Which clinic is right for me?
Brand new to mountain biking, or riding for years without coaching? Start with Fundamental Skills. Want to get airborne safely? Take the Jumping Mini-Clinic. For the biggest improvement in one weekend, book the 2-Day Skills Camp. The 1-minute quiz will point you to the right one.
Can I bring my eBike?
Yes, at clinics held on eBike-friendly trails, which is most of our locations. Every date shows an “eBikes OK” badge where eBikes are allowed. If you’re not sure, check with us before you book.
What if I can’t make my date?
Add Ninja Event Insurance at checkout. With it, you can cancel up to 48 hours before your event and receive full credit toward a future clinic. Without it, or within 48 hours, our standard cancellation policy applies.
Is there a minimum age?
You must be at least 11 for a Fundamentals Clinic or Jumping Mini-Clinic, and at least 15 for Intermediate / Advanced or a multi-day camp. 2-Day Advanced Trail Application Camps are 18+. Ninja Kids Clinics are for riders ages 8–12.
Do I need my own bike?
Yes. We don’t rent bikes, but we’re happy to help you find a local shop that does.
What if it rains?
Clinics and camps may be rescheduled for rain or other bad weather. We’ll let you know with as much notice as possible.
How fit do I need to be?
Basic health and fitness is fine. Some camp locations are more demanding than others, so contact us if you’d like a recommendation.
What will we work on?
Each clinic follows the Ninja curriculum for its level. The exact features you ride (rock and log step-ups, roll-downs, berms, switchbacks) depend on the venue’s terrain.
