My son (6) and I (36) had a great lesson with Ronnie. I've been trying to get into mountain biking for some time and my son is now at the age that he will blow past me on the trails if I don't hone in some of the necessary fundamentals. I can't say this enough, Ronnie is a great coach. He doesn't let you get lazy in your riding and continuously reminds you of the safety practices. Definitely recommend Ronnie for any sort of lessons but feel that private family lessons are the best as you get great information/skills to then enjoy on a family ride together. We look forward to future lessons/riding with Ronnie.
We are so thankful the awesome BackCountry bike store in Truckee referred us to Ronnie who worked his magic with our teenage son with patience, enthusiasm, kindness, and incredible knowledge about mountain bikes and the beautiful trails of North Lake Tahoe. Ronnie does not just "speak bike" and "ride the ride" - he also knows how to instill confidence and inspiration with information and care of a professional. I highly recommend Ronnie to any parent, especially one of a child with special needs; he has that "je ne sais quoi" ability to connect. Ronnie generously shares his rare gift with children in a way that is beautiful to experience. Thank you Ronnie for creating three joyful biking adventures for our son! You have officially become part of our annual vacation ritual. We look forward to seeing you every time we come back to Lake Tahoe!
So glad to have bumped into Ronnie at a pump park -- such an amazing teacher of biking skills to a young biker! The twelve year old evidenced material improvement in the course of each session (bike park, as well as mountain bike trails), and came back with a ton of enthusiasm for the sport, thanks to Ronnie. The video feeds were useful for maintaining engagement during the lesson, as well as providing lasting teaching.Bottom line: Ronnie is great with kids, apart from being a great teacher.
