Mountain Bike School
Why our Staff is the Best in the Business
Teachers First-
No matter what discipline of mountain biking you wish to progress at we can help you reach your goals in a supportive, healthy, people centered, fun atmosphere. There have been a lot of companies getting into instruction lately and we are happy there is so much growth in the industry. We believe we're just a little better and here is why: All of our instructors are teachers in one way or another, some started out in education, some in medicine, some in photography, some in massage, and yet others in skiing. This background in instructing many sports/interests lets our instructors explain the moves and feeling you are looking for in cycling in many different ways. Our instructors are incredible people! We get a lot of applications from many potential instructors each season. Many are qualified either through race results, teaching methods or other reasons, but only the cream of the crop makes it onto our roster.
All of our staff have incredible lives in addition to what they do in cycling, and that is a key component of who we want to have on our team and one of the main reasons you will enjoy every second of your clinic with RipStoke.

Were Still Here Doing What We Love- For 10+ years the owners and staff of RipStoke have been involved in Mountain bike instruction development. We started back in the mid-nineties and expanded our curriculum to include the most effective and thorough learning process in the world. Our Trail Skills Progression draws from many disciplines of cycling as well as other sports including: skiing, snowboarding, surfing, yoga, running, climbing, and dozens of other interests our staff are involved in. No matter what type of learner you are, from kinesthetic to visual our coaches will lead you to the new found skills you want to develop on the bike in the shortest time possible!
Teaching System-
RipStoke utilizes the best technology to help you learn: from still and video cameras, to our laptops, we use an all digital workflow to allow you to see what you look like making manuevers and suggest ways for you to improve. As a student in our beautiful outdoor classrooms we will encourage you to step out of your comfort boundaries to learn more than you thought possible in each session.
The Family-
At RipStoke we strive to make every ride a celebration of the bicycle! Whether one of us is winning a race, cleaning a difficult section, or just going for a leg stretcher after work, we are all friends here, not a cobbled together group of random people with little in common. We want to be a connector for you as well. Our clinics get many people at the same level of learning and often they become fast friends and exchange information to hook up for rides and to work on skills after the clinics. Sometimes it seems as though we are more a family that rides together than a company. We hope you will feel that way after a clinic with us too!
Please click on any of our instructors to get more familiar with them and their style of riding and coaching.
