Alise’s Olympic Journey
At age six, Alise joined the then-mostly male-dominated sport of cycling without much promise of a long-term career. Today, Alise has already competed in two Olympic Games and now has eyes on a third.
After BMX was introduced at the Olympic Games Beijing 2008, Alise moved from snowy St. Cloud, Minnesota, to San Diego, California, and started training full time for the Olympic Games London 2012. It was there that she’d start her success on the world stage. Although she’s overcome six major injuries, Alise’s biggest setbacks have been emotional. At 22, she lost her mother to cancer. And right after the Olympic Games Rio 2016, her husband—a fellow BMX Olympian—suffered a life-altering accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Through it all, Alise came out on the other side even stronger, and she hopes her story can help others embrace their journey.
ALISE'S RAV4
Thrilling power.
“I’m a first-time hybrid owner, and I couldn’t believe how much punch it had for being a little hybrid SUV!”
Electrifying good looks.
“I love the two-tone colorway and panoramic sunroof aesthetics. And it fits multiple bikes and my husband’s wheelchair comfortably.”
