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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.
