FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH!

to each his own!

Doesn't work for me. Never has. Same thing with beer. I've got to be completely sober when I skate. I've tried, many times, but to no avail.

I keep skating as skating. I'm "not sober" enough so I don't mix skating with it.

The only thing I can see that skating with a buzz will do is maybe make you stress less. I cant see how it makes you skate better. Lose the crutch and just do it.

It's not a crutch, it's just fun to do sometimes. For me it works best when skating transition... it usually effects me by both making me focus better, and giving less of a shit about the complexity of some tricks. It also makes me laugh more than normal, which is probably a bad side effect because I laugh a lot as it is.

smoke or dont. not the subject here. SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE SMOKE!

[toque]

I if i dont smoke. i cant really even walk that good. and i get  crazy anxioty attacks when i smoke. then i tweek out and forget everything but my board. but alot of the times i over do it and i get real lazy. but hey whats a dude to do. no weed to me equalls these things.


cant watch t.v.
cants smile.
cant sleep.
and ill spin out of control like a maniac!

yeah i agree with the 'forget everything but my board' part....and the part about sometimes over doing it and getting lazy.....

the other stuff seems pretty bleak,  ive only been smoking for about four years but i already feel dependent on it like ive got to do it every day,  does it ever seem depressing to think you can't act normally without it or have you just accepted that as a part of your destiny?

I'll go with this too. I can't skate drunk. I just get it in my mind I'll take some big slam. When I smoked weed I could skate, but I'd skate horribly.

i'm all about the session after session.  i don't really like smoking and skating.
skating drunk always sounds alright but i usually end up eating shit everytime i do it. 
drinking + smoking + skating = PAIN!!!

it is always hit or miss.... always a surprise to me how things will work out. The worst is when I smoke then I start thinking about skating too much after I smoke. Once I get on the board it is usually anxiety city, especially at parks or crowded spots. I usually just start lurking and doing pop shuv reverts by than.  Whenever I have a quick smoke and get on my board before it really hits is the best...

That or just smoking than skating with close friends. Im kind of anti-social on the weeds sometimes. Or the complete opposite.
Oh mary, you spooky little girl

yeah I understand where your comming from here,  except instead of anxiety the smoking makes me seem to think about skating itself less.....i don't really feel the need to think about tricks before i do them,  i just 'do' them......shit i sound like such a stoner bro

but its true that smoking will make me talk to people less.....if its with people you feel comfortable with its not a problem but you can come of looking like a weirdo or at worst a dick if you get too high before skating with people you haven't met.....

smoking makes me talk to people a lot more, anytime else I come off as an anti social weirdo/dick. As for smoking before skating; just smoking a small bowl and getting a little bit high works good for me. All you need is a bowl pac and a smooth parking lot and your good to go

ive accepted it

[Mike456]

i'm with kelch on this one

[mick swagger]

ive had some of the best sessions of my life while beng completely wrecked, but also ive had the worst. so it could go either way.

[Sleazy]

sounds like it's just like skating sober, could go eitherway

that's why for me it's always a good idea to warm up sober and then when my natural hype is wearing off then catch a little buzz and if nothing else just go fast

although, if I was the type who threw myself down stuff, I'd probably want to have a clear head for that
