High while snowboarding??

Question

Ok so the other night on the terrain park lift line, this guy asked if I would go on the lift with him. He was very outgoing and ended up smoking me out. I have never been so high snowboarding before, and when we got onto the mountain I was iffy at first because I was so ripped.

Anyways a few minutes later after the best snowboarding Ive ever done, I was at the bottom. I didnt find the kid again but I was in awe of how well I did. I have never snowboarded like that in my life!!

I know many people blaze while on the mt. Why did I do so much better? I guess confidence is obviously most of snowboarding, but is it really that possible that I could have become that much better if i was 100% confident?

I just got a new board so I have been having trouble getting used to it, but that night it was like I knew exactly what to do..

Answer 1

Hahaha, thats funny dude, i find the same thing myself.   You will find that sometimes, it will make you ride like c**p, but other times you will just totally shred sh*t.  It definetly takes the edge off and for me just makes me a little more stylin. I stop really caring and get so focused that I become one with the snow and my deck.   I get a little sketched out hittin big booterez, but my jibs get really steezy .. If your gonna make a habit of it, id get a helmet.

Answer 2
