Mountain Biking is FUN! Â It’s also hard to learn to ride well and it’s easy to learn bad habits. Â Bad habits that could easily ruin your weekend or even your entire summer!

Ronnie is a fantastic teacher and did a great job of providing instruction to both of us, even though we are at very different skill levels. He made sure he understood what riding/skills we wanted to focus on and gave us great foundational skills to work on.By the end of our session I realized that I could have been riding better for the past 35 years! Better late than never!
Ronnie is fantastic, I would recommend him to anyone interest in mountain biking! Before the session I thought downhill mountain biking was just something to do; after our class I fell in love with the sport. I feel I have the basics nailed to go out, practice, get better and shred. I am very thankful Ronnie shared this with me.
I had so much fun in my first lesson with Ronnie! His teaching style is very laidback while still being well organized. He took time through the lesson to check in with me about how I was doing and what I wanted to work on. I’m looking forward to taking more lessons with him.
