My job is not to push progression but to cultivate a mindset that allows our children to push their own boundaries at their own pace. This was the day that Aubrin Sage decided she was capable of going fast. We were riding a new-to-us portion of @Banff Sunshine Village and were still learning the trails. We were sitting on top of a steeper portion that flattened out at the bottom and I said ‘crush it’ knowing that it would be no problem for her to work her way down it but I did not expect her to point it and straight line down it (with proper edge control of course). These are the moments you just sit back and hope that the little lessons and reminders and prep work over the years have been digested and will be applied as needed. • • • She may seem fearless but one of my favorite things about A.Sage is that she is rather cautious and calculated in her approach to everything. I think being fearless is a result of not fully understand the situation or the consequences of your actions. I also think fear plays an incredibly important role in self preservation and having a healthy relationship with and management of fear is what’s important. Knowing that A.sage is very analytical and calculated allows me to trust her that when she’s ready, she’s READY. That’s a powerful feeling and belief at just 6 years old. #kidsarecapable
