and in the latest issue of Freeskier, Tanner says - and I quote - "I smoked a joint before just about every competition I did."

This question answers itself. If you smoke all the time then do it, if you don't then, well... don't.

Depends what kind of comp?


Big mtn comps, smoking a bowl, slugging a beer and taking a shot of fireball is usually a must before you shred your run.

I think it would harm more than it would help. I drank before some laid back park laps and was falling all over the place.

questions:

1 How much do you smoke?
2 Do you smoke before skiing park often?
3 Are you a marijuana smoking Jedi?
4 What are you like when you are high?


If you answers were:
1 Everyday,
2 Yes,
3 Yes,
4 Extremely confident and much better at skiing

Then feel free to get high as fuck before your comp! otherwise, its probably a bad call.

If the judges see you getting too steezy they will know you are high, and doc you points and tell your parents.

I am just terrified of rails when i blaze.. i leave the blazing for non-park days.

now alcohol on the other hand.. a couple shots of whiskey and I feel like a beast.
there is a reason they call it "liquid courage"

i smoke weed and skate and ski a fair amount it just takes a little while to coordinate your balance to certain things again. I read a book on how we focus and basically skiing is something that doesnt require effort to focus on unlike math homework where you have to block out distractions (dont smoke weed and do math homework you end up right here)

Before a comp...Personally, I like to be as clear minded as possible. Totally not condoning this, but ---> Adderall....(is your best bet)

adderal is fucking terrible for you. haha but i have to admit your kind of right. amphetamines, and maybe mdma are the only drugs that i feel can actually improve your skiing. you cant take too much, because then your head gets cloudy, but just a little bit gives you that extra bit of focus energy and confidence


kids disregard everything i just said other than the first sentence,

How the fuck do you expect a bunch of goonz on the internet to accurately assess how you're going to react to a certain substance under certain conditions? Do it once and see how it works out, fucking moron

Just sack up to the nerves and do the comp, then lay back and put it in the air. Much more gratifying.
But if you must smoke just a hit or two of the good good should suffice.

I said I think not I know. Since both drinking and smoking both alter your body I THOUGHT that it would be a bad idea.
