“After a strenuous year racing downhill in 2018, I felt that I had reached rock bottom. I had no confidence in my abilities, was ashamed of my performances and was extremely burnt out from forcing risk on myself when I wasn’t 100% healthy. Lately, I have begun to feel stagnant in my riding and was fed-up of not having any confidence. At the end of the day, I am the only one that can change that, so while it has taken me longer than I would have liked, it was time I began to prove to myself what I can do.

Through the process of hitting both Poacher and Brutus it has helped prove to myself the strength of my mind, how to properly focus again and how to methodically work on taking bigger risks. Remi and Jesse helped pushed me in a supportive way that was sustainable. We think it is important to remember that there is a difference between taking a bold and blind risk that is hard to repeat versus one that teaches you how to continue to take risks.”

There are so many positive and inspiring take-aways from this. Thanks for sharing, Miranda.
