Kids Mountain Bike Coaching

Youth MTB Lessons

Kids MTB Lessons

Mountain Biking is very appealing to kids, it’s physically & mentally challenging, gets them outside into nature, & let’s face it, mountain biking is just a cool sport!

So what do you do when your child wants to learn to ride a mountain bike or improve their mountain bike skills?  It seems too scary/dangerous/difficult right? Well, as with any other sport, the best advice is to turn to a Professional Coach.

I am very experienced with coaching child and youth mountain bikers & helping them to progress their mountain bike skills in a safe & repeatable way.  I am an ICP Level 3 Certified Mountain Bike Coach (the highest offered) and I am Wilderness First Aid Certified.

I know that as a parent your time and resources can be limited so I offer great value Private Mountain Bike Coaching Sessions so your child or youth mountain biker (age 6 to 12) can improve their riding quickly.

I offer discount for repeat custom.

If you have more than one child, take advantage of my Kids Group Mountain Bike Coaching which offers the same great coaching at a lower hourly rate for groups of 2 to 6 youth mountain bikers.

If you have any questions prior to booking please use the contact form, email me or call me. I am always happy to hear from clients, both old and new.

Finally, if you would like to get 10% off your first Kids MTB Lesson just fill out the form below and I’ll send you a coupon you can use at checkout!

I took my first ever MTB lesson yesterday with Ronnie. Ronnie was patient and also broke down the basic skills and had me rock rolling by the 2nd hour. I had such a blast with him I just booked monthly lessons for the rest of the summer. Highly recommend.

I had two back to back lessons with Ronnie last week while I was out in Tahoe on vacation. Let me talk about this guy for a bit–he is an incredible instructor. He is an astute listener when it comes to your goals and what you'd like to get out of the lessons. He scaffolds the learning like a PRO (well, because he is!), and gently pushes you, pulling back when necessary so that you get the most out of your experience. I am 100% a better rider than I was before I worked with Ronnie. Also, there are jokes. He's a funny guy, because you need funny on those hills at altitude!!!! I CANNOT wait to go back west to work with him again. He's a treasure! Sign up NOW folks!

Ronnie has worked my 10 year old son over the past month and the progress has been tremendous. My son LOVES riding with him and is learning so much - Ronnie is an outstanding coach, super positive, supportive and pushes just enough so my son develops confidence and continues to progress.
GretchenKids MTB Coaching
I decided that I wanted to learn how to mountain bike at the age of 51. I've taken two lessons from Ronnie and both have exceeded my expectations. He is an excellent coach who does an outstanding job of simply and clearly explaining the technical fundamentals and devising exercises to practice these basic skills.
WarrenPrivate MTB Coaching
Ronnie is a great coach who takes the time to listen to your goals, watch you ride, create a game plan, apply, and reinforce. I did a 4 hour private lesson that included fundamental drills in a controlled environment as well as coached trail riding. It was fun, high yield, and gave me some great areas to work on. I'll definitely be back!
WillPrivate MTB Coaching
My kids have so much fun and learn a great deal from biking with Ronnie. Not only does he take the kids on some diverse trails but he is very personable and teaches the kids so much more than just biking- maintaining their bikes and mechanics of their bikes.
ShelbyKids MTB Coaching
I'm a mom who is scared about my son mountain biking. I called Ronnie to give my son a great experience and to help me feel more comfortable with his understanding of risk, need to develop skills, etc. He did an amazing job! My 15-year old enthusiast came home thrilled with the day, more aware of what he needs to do to cultivate his skill and his safety.I will do this again.
MauraKids MTB Coacing
I would encourage riders of all skill levels to take a lesson with Battleborn Prodigies. Even if you already know everything, Ronnie is still a rad dude and super fun to ride with. You’ve got a world of skills and techniques to gain and nothing to lose, so go for it!
