I have had a few beers and rode before. It makes It Hard To balance. Especially On a 550. I had To give Up pot after I failed a drug test at work. I had been smoking for years prior. Now that I have been clean for almost 9 years, I have dreams that I have smoked and wake up in a cold sweat. Beer for me is mainly for after the ride. Great topic

Road, ro-ad, that's a funny word.
I believe...... Everyone's different. Pot impaired my judgement tremendously. Alcohol, doesn't really even phase me until about 6 or 7 beers. I could take a puff of the nastiest weed from a $3 dollar bag and be STUPID. But I have friends who can't function unless they're high. The only problem I have with my drinking, is I pick up the cigarettes after 2 or 3 beers.

I won't get on my ski if I've had even one beer. Liquid bravery will lead me to break my ski or myself. Ride first, beer later. Tequila is my drug of choice but no way in hell would I ride after throwing some of that down my throat.

This is a great thread Buzz!!!
I see nothing wrong with burning, I used to do so everyday when I was a teen. I just can't do it as an adult without completely shutting down and losing coordination. Some guys rip when they get baked, it's a trip. Best riding for me is sober but I might sneak in a beer or two on occasion. Nothing like I used to drink.

I don't do much when I ride skis or do any sport that I have ever done I like it best sober. I do things like ride skis, snowboard, skateboard, and even flying those expensive toy airplanes for the high of doing them and the fun of it! if I am drinking or take a hit of weed it takes away from that natural high of doing something you love... sometimes I will have 1 of someone elses beers half way through the day just to take the edge off. Or if I break something you might find me buming any kind of alchohol and ibeprofin bahaha.
Edit you mean to tell me its Buzzard like a bird I though it was something else :what:

like i said in another thread. in all the years of skiing, i took a medicinal purposes only puff for pain one time and sat on the beach for 2 hours hating it because i knew i wasnt going to be in the ZONE for maximum performance. i think the most i've drank, is 3 beers during the day. anybody that thinks they can concentrate better after smoking, drinking or other, is just wrong. a lot of guys are constantly loaded, so they think their actions are normal while loaded. they just dont know and never will know, how much better your brain and body work on adrenalin rather than something else. adrenalin junkie here for sure!
well that's cool you don't do any drugs but all drugs don't do the same thing and different people respond differently to the same drugs. The father of modern cosmology Carl Sagan was a known pot head. Would he have come up with the work he did if he wasn't baked? Hard to say, he was baked constantly.
Remember perception is reality and if a quick toke before the ride out to the big stuff or the boat chase makes someone think they rip harder so be it even if through another's eyes they now ride like chit. I've been told I've gone twice as hard after a quick smoke break. I think so too.
Now alcohol is another deal entirely and I can't recall a single instance of ever seeing motor function increased by it.

While I have cut waaaaaay back from how much I used to toke ...I still enjoy the occasional toke.....and after quitting drinking for many many years...I recently started having a couple beers here and there and I love it again..... 2 beers and I feel way more lose on the waves.

a few months ago i had a couple 6.5 pound bottles of medical grade NO2 fall in my lap. now i know whats on "the other side". that 13 lbs of gas lasted only a bit longer than it does in my freak............... and i'm not talking about doing anything at any other time besides riding. i'm only talking about maximum mental and physical performance while skiing. i guarantee nobody performs at their best ON SOMETHING. i should have asked, who does flips n rolls while intoxicated?

pot is not mind expanding and doesnt make you come up with some strange new way of saving the world. it does make you think you are getting more action than you actually are. i ride with a bunch of smokers. if i dont show up one day and ask a smoker, how was it? they rant and rave about the day. if i ask the adrenalin junkie about the action, he tells me it sucked and not many boats. i personally dont care what anybody does as long as they dont get in my way or mess me up. i've never seen any smoker or drinker busting any kind of trick. drunk doug was the only exception. wasted doing rolls. he made a lot of mistakes and crashed into me and others, but he rolled.
keep in mind freeriding aint just about flips and rolls. it's whatever makes you happy. I'd personally rather carve, slash, and surf behind a boat going 17 mph than even loop out and back for an aerial.
EXACTLY. Eye of the beholder. The real question is who's having more fun and who's the sucker? :brap:

this is where the justification side of it rears its ugly head. the sucker is the guy thinking he's having more fun than the adrenalin junkie thats pushing the limits on his skills. hey, if you're having fun, good for you. just dont get in my way or be dangerous because you're ed up or there is going to be a problem. i can get wasted and ride like a bitch, but that aint fun. controlled danger is what lets you know you're alive. and pain.

I like being around cool people and having a good time. And like the Buzzard said, as long as you aren't a hinderance to my stoke... All is good.
I love beer, and all that have rode with me know that I will bring some to share at the ride. But I will never ride wasted. I just enjoy that calming buzz. It allows me to get pumped and not over think stuff. I have issues with over thinking lol!
I can ride sober no problem, and have done so a lot, but after a tasty beer... Much more fun day for me.
I can live and ride without it though, if others that I'm riding with don't like it, I'll live just fine.
Brraapp!
