Ninja Mountain Bike Performance brings a seven-option coaching weekend to Vailocity Bike Park at Vail Lake in Temecula on Saturday–Sunday, November 14–15, 2026. Saturday offers the two-day camp, a women’s full-day combo, women’s and co-ed Fundamentals, a women’s Trail Application session and a Jumping Mini-Clinic; Sunday offers day two of the camp plus a full-day Intermediate / Advanced clinic. This is hands-on small-group instruction rather than a race. The progressive curriculum ranges from body position, braking, shifting, wheel lifts and switchbacks to jumping, high-speed cornering, drops, technical climbing and descending, line choice, pumping and trail application.

Live first-party inventory was checked immediately before publication. The $949 two-day camp and $379 co-ed Fundamentals clinic each showed two spots left. The $569 Sunday Intermediate / Advanced clinic was also bookable, without a numeric remaining count. Women’s Fundamentals, the women’s full-day combo, women’s Trail Application and the Jumping Mini-Clinic were sold out and offered waitlists. Inventory can move quickly; use the exact linked calendar and product pages rather than assuming a previously visible slot remains. No on-site or same-day registration process is published.

Age and experience rules depend on the product. Fundamentals and Jumping are open from age 11; the Jumping clinic requires roughly two years of riding and/or a prior Fundamentals or Intermediate / Advanced clinic, and riders under 15 must complete Fundamentals first. The Intermediate / Advanced clinic and multi-day camp have a minimum age of 15; riders 15–17 are recommended to attend with a parent or adult. Intermediate / Advanced requires at least two years of riding or a recent Ninja Fundamentals clinic, while the two-day camp recommends two years of experience. Every participant must complete both the Ninja and Vail Lake waivers. The public pages do not spell out a separate minor-signature workflow, so families should complete the forms in advance and contact Ninja if the signer relationship is unclear.

Arrive at least 15 minutes early with a mountain bike in safe working order, a helmet, water and snacks. Pads are strongly recommended, especially for jumping and camp work; lunch is not supplied, so full-day participants should bring lunch or plan a quick nearby option. Temecula is marked e-bike friendly by Ninja, while Vailocity allows only Class 1 pedal-assist e-bikes. The meeting point is the event parking area by Lower Merlot inside the Vail Lake campground; drive slowly around children, dogs and golf carts. Vail Lake charges a separate $15 entrance fee.

Ninja ordinarily runs clinics rain or shine when conditions are safe. If trails close, riding would damage them or conditions are unsafe, the organizer says it will reschedule and/or issue a transfer credit. The current NWS point forecast calls for a chance of showers before 10 AM Saturday, then mostly sunny near 66°F, and sunny weather near 71°F Sunday. This forecast is not an organizer go/no-go notice: check Ninja and Vailocity before travel, especially because rain can affect natural-surface trails. Optional Event Insurance only protects cancellations made at least 48 hours before the start; at this late stage that deadline has passed, and the standard policy gives no credit or refund inside 48 hours or for no-shows.
