Mary Jane Combs

Thanks for a great into to MTB. Your clinic was a catalyst to feeling more confident on the bike and having so much more fun while doing it. Keep me informed of future clinics.

Just want to give a shout-out to Olivia Birkenhauer & her GOT DIRT clinics…I’m a total MTB “newbie” & just did her beginner clinic yesterday. Seriously, what a great coach! I’ve played & coached a lot of other sports & her ability to break down the skills & give individualized critique & tips for each is fantastic. If you want to advance your skills, definitely take one of her classes!!

Kathy Cunningham

Olivia is an extremely accomplished athlete and coach, and she brings strong skills and knowledge to the sport of mountain biking. The past several years that I have known Olivia, she has been continually involved with MTB racing; has trained year-round on the bike and in the gym with discipline and consistency; has led countless one-on-one and small group training sessions; and has developed that extra edge of expertise by completing coaching certifications and in-depth training camps with top-ranked programs. All this, along with giving back to the community. In addition to her many accomplishments, Olivia is always a lovely and insightful person to spend time with. Your coaching with Olivia will be well worth your investment! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Thank you Liv and a pleasure to meet all of you….thank you for the fun, patience, and friendship….
And for Matchy Girl Sheryl, you needed a certificate so you can get that purple chain ring….
Certificate of Completion: Sheryl did it! Woohoo! 4/8/2018

Ha. And no injuries. Ruining my reputation, of course!
Thank you for your patience; I had a fantastic weekend and learned so much. You were wonderful, much appreciated….

Sophia Ruiz

Love the pics! Loved the weekend! Loved the camaraderie of my team! Can’t wait to practice my new skillz! Thanks to each of you for making this weekend such a great experience. And a special thanks to the best coach, ever! Liv, you were a gift to us.

Sheryl

Thanks Liv for the keywords and the photos! It was great to meet all of you and hope to see some of you again next year.
And no certificate required – I’ve already gone and rewarded myself with a super-matchy purple 30T ring! but I’ll give it a rest now and focus on improving my riding instead of pretty-fying my bike!
