    Try spraying some WD40 lubricate on the gears. They may not be shifting properly because they are dry and tight. Riding on dirt roads sometimes will cause grit to get in between the gears.

      Also make sure your shifter cable is well lubricated and has the right amount of tension on it. And make sure the chain is loose enough to be moved back and forth by the derailer and make sure that your gears have not become bent or out of alignment. Here is ap page on the derailleur.
