Our kids (ages 6 and 9) had an incredibly positive experience with Robbie during their Summer MTB sessions. As mindful parents, we are discerning when choosing teachers/role models for our kids and we were beyond satisfied with not only the level of instruction, but the respectful approach. Robbie has a wonderful balance of safe, realistic, firm boundaries in his teaching combined with warm, friendly, engaging creativity. Our kids grew to not only adore his company but trust him as a confident leader. Skill progression was always on point, playful moments made for plenty of laughs and his level of professionalism always lended a sense of ease. Highly recommend Robbie for ALL ages and abilities!

“My son used to be shy and avoided any challenges. He joined coach Robbie's summer camp for just one week when he was 7. It was a game changer! He became so confident and willing to take calculated risks, It was obvious that my son learned more than just how to ride a bike. You don't want to put your kid's in 'any camp' just to fill their schedule. You want to give the best to your kids, and hear from them that it was the best camp ever. Coach Robbie's camps do just that. In just three days, coach Robbie changed my 7 year old son from a kid who liked riding in his front yard to an iconic figure at Duthie Hill. Now everyone stops and watches when he hits 10 foot gap jumps."

“I was a little intimidated when I took on mountain biking in my mid 50’s.  Robbie taught me so much in a short time.  I can’t wait to get out on the trails and now I look forward to fun features such as drops, jumps, roots and switchbacks. Robbie immediately helped me level up.  His ability to pinpoint improvements in body dynamics as well as address the mindset of tackling challenges is empowering. Robbie’s coaching is so adaptable and intuitive, he has the experience and expertise to help any rider overcome obstacles."

“Being able to effectively communicate to riders of all levels, Robbie knows how to create steps to break down techniques that helped me become smarter and faster on my bike.”

“Our son has special needs and can get easily frustrated. We’ve seen a huge boost in our son’s confidence after working with Robbie. There isn’t a week that goes by where my son doesn’t ask me to schedule another lesson. He keeps on progressing. Robbie is encouraging, positive and patient. With his support, our son is able to push his limits. Robbie is an exceptional coach for exceptional kids.”

-Jeffrey Kercher

“I have been riding for a long time but felt I was not progressing in my skills and decided to get some instruction. I am so glad to have found Coach Robbie to help me work on skills I have been struggling with, and new ones I wanted to achieve. Robbie's kind and constructive feedback is so important to my development as a rider and is always appreciated. Robbie is also very knowledgeable about mountain biking and is happy to share."

-Julie Brumbaugh

"Robbie is an amazing person and an even better coach. He has a talent for bringing out the best in everyone he is around and his coaching ability is second to none with the kiddos."

Coach Robbie is awesome! We initially signed up our 5 y/o son for a couple of summer sessions at Sandy Ridge and this quickly turned into more than a half dozen over the last 5 weeks including sessions for myself and my wife. We have been amazed by Robbie’s professionalism, expertise, and genuine love of coaching and mentoring. He brings a very personal touch and endearing personality to his coaching sessions. Emerson has grown so much this summer, both on and off the bike. His confidence is soaring and he has ridden 90% of the trails at Sandy Ridge at 5 years old. I personally have experienced new PRs on pretty much every trail that I have ridden since working with Robbie as well as hugely improve confidence in the air. Robbie truly cares about everyone he works with and it shows.
