A Growing Community of Cyclists
Santan Shredders began in 2013 when Jim Jensen and Maricopa County Park Ranger Adam Martell wanted to share their love of mountain biking with the larger East Valley area. The group grew from a few friends to almost a thousand biking enthusiasts, making it one of the fastest-growing biking groups in Arizona. Along the way, the organization has picked up sponsors that appreciate the group’s vision of community biking and trail sustainability. In addition to several bike equipment organizations, they are proud partners with the International Mountain Bicycling Association, Maricopa County Parks and Recreation, Arizona State Parks & Trails, and the Town of Queen Creek.


Testimonials
Jennifer KielyFebruary 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently took a mountain biking skills course focused on cornering, and it was an amazing experience! The instruction was incredibly helpful, and I really appreciated the individual attention from Tish and Jim. Both instructors brought their own unique styles and knowledge to the class, making the learning experience both informative and enjoyable. I gained a much better understanding of how my body should feel during cornering, and I now have a solid foundation to build on. There's definitely a lot of practice ahead, but I'm excited to continue improving! Highly recommend this course for anyone looking to take their biking skills to the next level. CJ LFebruary 10, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tish and Jim are solid coaches - learned enough to practice and improve on. Looking forward to joining one of their next clinics! 100% recommended - huge bang for the buck. Natasha StoltzfusFebruary 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Coach Jim and Coach Tish were awesome. We booked a private class for 4 and they did a fantastic job catering to the two different skill levels. Confidence boost for the newbies and a great lesson in tweaking current skills for the more advanced. We will definitely be back for more of their workshops. Greg PFebruary 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent mtb coaching for beginners and experienced riders. Tekel AbrahaFebruary 9, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an amazing experience at the high-speed cornering class! The coaches were incredibly passionate about teaching, and it showed in the way they worked with each rider. The smaller rider-to-coach ratio made a huge difference, especially compared to the bigger mountain biking clinic provider. Since the instructors were also the clinic administrators, they tailored the session to our group and even discussed follow-up trail rides to help us practice what we learned. I left feeling more confident and faster than when I arrived. And the best part? It was all for a fraction of the cost of big guys. I’m so happy I found them and will be signing up for every class I can! Jonathan GregoryJanuary 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great MTB rental. Got a brand new XL Salsa Timberjack. Pick up was easy and Jim was super nice. Close to San Tan Regional Park IrinaNovember 3, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. SanTan Shredders are awesome! Tish and Jim are wonderful coaches. Their Mountain bike clinics always go beyond my expectations. They take you through different techniques step by step, explaining everything perfectly, disassembling it into components that you can practice, and then putting it all together to help you build a new skill. I joined several beginner and intermediate clinics, and every time I was so surprised by what I was able to do under their guidance. Wheels lift, cornering, jumping, drops, ratcheting - Tish and Jim make difficult things easy for you. Most importantly, they teach you how to do it right, so it eventually gets into the muscle memory. Now I feel more confident on trails and can enjoy more technical terrain. Thank you Tish and Jim! Paul BrownOctober 25, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience with Jim and Tish. I took the Steep Transitions and Drops course and would highly recommend. Sean DugganJuly 8, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took an intro class with John & Tish. They were great. We were lead through some fundamental building blocks and reviewed them a couple of times. Went out on the trail with them as well to get some real world practice as well as follow up to ensure we were doing what we had been taught in actual situations. Excited to take more classes with them. Roy HannahJuly 7, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Jim & Tish are great! They are knowledgeable, fun to be around, and you can tell they really care. I’m glad to be part of the group and am glad they offer lessons as well. Thanks!
