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.
My son and I (10 year old) signed up for a Family MTB lesson last minute and Ronnie was able to squeeze us in. We were blown away with the attentiveness and three hour plan he had prepared for us. It's clear he had worked with kids of all ages given his regular assessment of energy levels, water breaks and check-ins. We especially appreciated the 1:1 time, given the diluted focus of many of the riding camps out there. We will certainly be calling on Ronnie again when we return to the area.
My son and I recently had a private lesson with Ronnie over the weekend. Ronnie is an excellent MTB coach! Not only is Ronnie extremely knowledgeable, but he was able to connect with my son using examples he could relate to. I thought this was really unique. You get the sense right away that Ronnie is really passionate about teaching you the right fundamentals so your progression is safe and well founded. We did a 3 hour session with Ronnie and he kept the session engaging with great energy along with some really cheesy jokes that kept a smile on our faces. We can’t recommend Ronnie enough, he is a top notch MTB coach!
