About Oliva: 

I grew up riding in the great state of Washington and learned to ride when I was just 4 years old. Since then, I grew up riding about once a month with my brother, Kyle and my parents Courtney and Ryan. We frequented Capitol State Forest because we belong to the Tacoma Trail Cruisers dirt bike club. When I got a bit older, we started going on more and more trail rides and eventually tried out a track when I was about 13 years old. This is when I figured out what hare-scrambles were and what racing as a whole was.

My first off-road race was the last NORCS race of the season at Riverdale MX in Toutle when I was 13 years old. I raced in the Women’s Amateur class and got a wonderful 10th place. From there, I was hooked on racing. Fast forward a few years, and I have won the Women’s AA class 2 years in a row! I have made countless memories, met the coolest of people, been to some of the most beautiful places, all while wearing a giant smile and having the best time.

I decided that I wanted to try and qualify for 6Days when a good friend went and shared how cool of an experience he had. That same friend was going to Redding, CA to the ISDE west qualifier and I decided to hop in and see what it was all about. Originally, I had planned on this being a learning experience to prepare and try to qualify in 2025 as I am finishing up my student teaching this year and will graduate in June with my Bachelors of Science in Education. I was very shocked and honored to ride for Team USA on a Women’s Club Team, and although it has been a crazy year completing my degree and working full time, I could not pass up this opportunity of a lifetime. 

I am EXTREMELY grateful for anyone who read all these words & has supported me on this journey so far. I continue to appreciate all the support, kind messages, prayers, and donations. 

ISDE: International Six Days’ Enduro

National teams are invited from around the world to compete for the World Championship of Enduro and Off Road Racing.

Each country can have a specific amount of riders for each class, the World Trophy Team can have four, Junior Trophy can three riders 23 or younger, Women's World Cup can have three females riders and three riders for Club division.

The first Six Days race was held in Carlisle, England and is the largest off road motorcycle competition in the world. The rider and the motorcycle are one and both have to be in tip top shape to make it to the finish on some of worlds toughest terrains.

The event has been held in many countries including the United States over the years and the rules for the most part have stayed the same. Rider follow a set route and pace over six days, there are only certain times a rider can work on their bike and what they can use to for tools and parts. 

Most competitors ride at least 1000 miles for the duration of the race.   

The World Trophy champion is determined by totaling the times of each team’s three fastest riders for each of the event’s six days (including time penalties). The team with the lowest combined time is the winner. The United States has won the World Trophy three times.

In the Junior World Trophy, Women’s World Cup and Club divisions, the champion is determined by totaling each three-rider team’s times for each day (including time penalties). The team with the lowest combined time is crowned the class champion. (credit) American Motorcycle Association
