Radical Ripper After-School Program

Radical Rippers is an after-school mountain bike program for youth ages 8-18 that builds confidence, strength, and community—on and off the bike. Through small groups, professional coaching, and progressive trail riding, riders grow skills, resilience, and friendships in a fun, supportive environment. No experience required. Just a bike, a helmet, and a willingness to learn. 

Radical Rippers blends skill-building and trail riding to create confident, capable riders who love being on their bikes. Each session includes a mix of bike handling, skills and drills, and trail rides designed for progression. Group challenges and confidence-building activities. 

Skills covered may include: Foundations & bike control, cornering, braking, and shifting. Climbing and technical descending. Pumping, jumping, and wheel lifts. Sessions rotate locations around Bellingham to give riders diverse terrain and learning opportunities.

Fall 2026 season program runs September 14th-November 6th.
