Expert Mountain Bike Coaching in Northstar™ Area
I can teach you you the proper techniques and safety measures to ensure an enjoyable and safe ride.
Ronnie’s Battle Born Prodigies offers mountain bike lessons in the Northstar™ California area for adults, kids, families, groups & corporate events.
Are you ready to take your mountain biking skills to the next level? As a certified & experienced instructor I will guide you through the trails, teaching you proper technique and helping you build confidence on the bike.
My lessons are suitable for riders of all levels, from beginners looking to learn the basics to experienced riders looking to fine-tune their skills. I offer both group and private lessons, so you can choose the option that best fits your needs and schedule.
During our lessons, you’ll have the opportunity to ride on a variety of terrain, from smooth singletrack to challenging technical trails. You’ll learn how to handle different types of terrain, as well as how to navigate through tight turns and navigate over obstacles.
Lessons are designed to be fun and educational, and I strive to create a supportive and welcoming atmosphere for all riders. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or new to the sport, I have a lesson that’s right for you.
Finally, for the Groms, we offer Summer Camps in Lake Tahoe so your little shredder can learn to ride safely and have fun this summer.
So come join me and take your mountain biking to new heights!

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 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.
We booked a group lesson with Ronnie because we were looking to experience some Tahoe trails as a family and see if we could all ride a bit better....especially me & my wife! Ronnie was super patient with all of us and walked us through some basics before we hit the trails. We never felt out of our depth on anything we were riding and our children had a wonderful day showing us just how much we have to learn. The fact that it was just our family made the day feel much more exclusive and personal. If you are in Lake Tahoe and are looking to go mountain biking you should definitely consider adding Ronnie to your list of potential teachers.
