Hello Ropers,
‍
A few weeks ago we told you something new was coming to MRM 2026 — dedicated learning tracks! These tracks allow for a full weekend of focused skill-building with the same group of people, and one of the tracks provides a single-ticket option for those who’ve been waiting for an opportunity to attend on their own. Today, we’re pulling back the curtain on these two track options!
‍
‍The Beginner Track
‍This track is built for folks who are new to rope — whether you have some experience, have watched from the sidelines, or just know this is something you want to try. You’ll start from the ground up with an instructor who has designed a curriculum specifically for MRM. You’ll work with the same group of people all weekend, building skills alongside fellow aspiring ropers. No prerequisite skills, no assumed knowledge needed.

Here’s what makes this one different: the Beginner Track is available as a single ticket. You don’t need a partner to attend. If you’ve been on the fence about coming to MRM because you didn’t have someone to attend with — this is your chance!

‍The Suspension Track
‍This track is for riggers who are ready to take their work off the ground. You’ve got the foundational skills — now you want to go deeper (higher!). The Suspension Track is a focused, weekend-long curriculum for attendees serious about developing their suspension practice: technique, safety, flow, and the kind of nuanced judgment that only comes from focused repetition with expert guidance.

This track is designed for intermediate to experienced riggers and their bottoms who are already working toward or within suspension. If you’re newer to rope, the Beginner Track is where you’ll want to start — it’s the foundation this level builds on.

‍Not Sure Which Path Is Right for You?
‍Open format classes are still running alongside the tracks all weekend, covering a whole range of topics. Whether you want an immersive track experience or a more flexible mix-and-match schedule, you’ve got options.

‍The Instructors Are Coming
‍We’re not done yet. The instructors behind these classes are some of the best in the community, and we'll be revealing them soon. Keep an eye on your inbox and follow us on Instagram and Bluesky (@menropingmen) — you won’t want to miss it.

See you October 9-11 in NYC!
