Rowdy Ryder Academy

Rowdy Ryder Academy is a mountain biking coaching and training brand based in West Arvada, Colorado. Founded by Tina Meinhardt, a BICP-certified coach, instructor trainer, physical therapist, and experienced rider, the academy offers evidence-based, biomechanics-focused instruction for riders of all ages and abilities. Programs include private lessons, small-group mountain bike clinics, strength and conditioning, and coach training. Coaching is available at the academy’s private ranch and on trails across Colorado, with options for beginner through advanced riders.

The West Arvada ranch features a 4,000-square-foot turf skills field for drills and fundamentals, alongside hillside trails with switchbacks, technical climbs, drops, jumps, and descending lines. Riders can also practice on progressive jump and drop features, berms, rock rolls, skinnies, and a teeter-totter. Rowdy Ryder Academy focuses on helping riders improve technique, body position, strength, speed, and confidence so they can ride more safely and enjoyably. Its website also provides clinic registration, a shop, gift cards, photos, and rider resources.
