About Kristen Gross

Kristen’s first mountain bike was a red hardtail she picked up to replace a stolen commuter bike she was using to get to rowing practice in 2004. One thing led to another and she found herself on a ride more suited to her new bike’s capabilities. But it wasn’t until a coach helped her break down skills like log-overs, cornering and the mysteries of momentum that she got completely hooked.

She joined the University of Toronto varsity mountain bike team and started racing. She worked her way up to the Elite level, competing in the Ontario Cup Series, the Canada Cup Series, as well as events like 24hr MTB Racing and the famous Test of Metal in Squamish, British Columbia. In Toronto, she was also a spin-class instructor for the past two years, working with clients to help them reach their fitness goals.

Kristen is new to the San Diego area and looking to give back to the sport that’s given her so much enjoyment, fitness and sanity. She hopes to continue making friends who share a love of mountain biking and be there for the ride as they conquer their challenges and feel the joy.

When she’s not riding, Kristen is trying to figure out surfing, spending time with her new husband or shredding on her skiis or snowboard. A writer by trade, she is also working with some friends and partners in the cycling industry to communicate the latest and greatest in technology and apparel.

Enrolling in the Intermediate/Advanced clinic was the best thing I’ve ever done to improve my speed and ability on the bike.

Just finished a two day skills workshop in Dallas. To say it was the best money I've ever spent on mountain biking would be an understatement. Our instructor was a wonderful teacher and just a real pleasure to be around kind of guy. I highly recommend Ninja for anyone from novice to advanced riders as they cover just about anything and everything that will make you a more rounded rider. Thanks so much for all the advice and coaching!

Great clinic. Just what I needed to better know how to handle situations on the trail to maintain speed/momentum and...

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...

That was time well spent – thanks Coach Richard! That was time well spent – thanks Coach Richard! If you do more clinics, I’d recommend them to my friends.

Well worth your time if you want to improve! We attended the 2-Day Mountain Bike Skills Camp in Denver CO. I'm a beginner to mountain biking and the class exceeded my expectations. The first day was basic fundamental training from bunny hops to cornering your bike. The second day we put those skills to the test by climbing and downhill at all different skill levels, Richard and Aaron even took video to help improve our skills. Well worth your time if you want to improve!

Best investment ever. The Ninja mountain bike skill clinics will definitely bring up your riding level a notch or two.

Marcus M.

Highly recommended! Essential riding skills are thoroughly broken down making them easy to understand and learn. Coach Richard and Kris are some of the most professional and pleasant coaches/cyclist/people I have come across. Looking forward to one of their future clinics.
