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.
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!
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. He's worked with all ages and genders.
