I’ll be coaching the Kids’ clinic (ages 8-11) for Ninja, a first-class national mountain-bike instruction company. It’s part of a full weekend of events including co-ed, intermediate/advanced, and women-only clinics.

I’ll be coaching the Women’s Fundamentals All-Day Combo for Ninja MTB Performance! This company is one of the nation’s best and invests in continuing education for its nationwide team of professional coaches. I absolutely love coaching for them.

Core curriculum: This is the foundational course for future classes on specific skills (such as cornering, descending, climbing, and trail features).

Skills covered: Body position, bike-body separation, controlled braking, shifting, safe dismounts, positive self-talk, breath work, and basic bike maintenance tips (tire pressure, cleaning and lubing your chain).

Best for: Women and girls ages 11 and up. (Younger girls can join with participating moms and/or prior instructor approval.) Appropriate for true beginners to intermediate riders in need of a refresher. Fitness and endurance is less of a factor than balance and positive mindset.
