Took a trip to Sedona this spring to check out the bike park and hit the trails. Ended up rolling my ankle and made a trade with some young rippers, Olivia Silva and Lillee Jenkins. So rad to see these young ladies shredding MTBs!—Kirt Voreis

I ended up following Olivia down “Miracle Mile” at Summit. She is Solid. Great line choices and crushed it at the last Big Bear DH race. Great having girls stoked about riding and racing!
it is unbelievable those days, I see young talents, rippers, shredders and I have to say today you have access to trails, bike parks, technology, bikes and community which is bigger, better and more international than ever before. it must be great fun to start riding a bike when you are young now.
I know! Seeing the evolution in just the 7 short years I've been riding has been insane. At my local jump spot, it seems like there are kids hitting all the biggest lines and backflips seem common. When I started only the best riders hit those lines.
