Clapping your poles for inner-peace?

Anyone else clap their poles before they do something big/gnarly/rad/they are unsure about. I noticed in movies the other night people were clapping their poles together before dropping in, then I realised I always do that before I get radical, anyone else with me on this one?
 
i always lift up my coat and shake my ass so everyone above me can see my ass. i dont know why...
 
I always double tap poles with friends who are with me, kind of a ritual we have been for years now. I always kick snow in the air off my skis before I drop into something too.
 
I jump up and down a little or tap the tips and tails of my poles on teh ground. Ill have to tap my poles.
 
yah a matter of fact rescently i have noticed that i do...and right before i hit the jump i have my hands in fists around my poles and i hit the top of my pols together twice of once or w/e...its kind of gay now that i think about it.
 
clap my poles behind my back everytime im about to hit the jump and then everything i focus and like all the noise just goes away because im in the zone
 
oh yah in the first segment in war, i think anthonys, in the very very beggining he does that before dropping in
 
I reach under my coat and adjust my pants. Pull em up and down a few times and im good to go.
 
yeh it is sometimes just stupid...like i might clear all the snow off my skis...or just chill there for a sec and think about it...i dont know...like...its just weird sometimes...other times like in war wextras i do like the pete olenick thing where u do like a reach and pray thing just to be gppfy and then i would like hit a rail or something...or like do the "sign" waving my poles in the air...it all depends on the mood i am in.
 
yeah, right after i fix my goggles, adjust my pants, unzip my jacket, flip down my hood, kick snow off my skis, hook my poles and check the wind direction. haha, no i actually do it once in a while, tho. i know what you mean.
 
i clap my poles bejind my pack and slap my tails. sometimes i clap my poles to get the snow off the end more than anything. its not really heavy but i can steal feel it on the end and its annoying.
 
I clap my poles everyone in a while and do some pole slapes after jumps and i always pull my pants up a little bit even if they're not sagging
 
haha word, i'll leave my pants down if im jumping, but if im tryin to get super tech i'll pull my pants up quick
 
i flap my hands at my side like a penguin steeze....and it always gets super intense right before i do whatever it is im doing...weird little thing i do
 
I usually tap my right foot until Im ready. I clap my poles when someones done something real nice and steezy, or a gnarly fall.
 
for pipe i just sing the song im listening to out loud.

for big jumps i do the same thing as above but i usually sorta punch into the air.

for rails i usually do the same as above the pipe way for small ones and the big jump way for bigger ones.

i duno i like my music
 
I start skating really slowly towards the jump and kinda shake my head back and forth to the music i'm listen to and then just kinda loosen up my whole body and arms and shit. Then I tense up, focus, and prepare to eat shit haha.
 
I acctually don't do that just because everyone else does and it just seems lame to copy whoever else does it ahead of me. I don't really do anything, I just get in kind of a zone in my head and go for it.
 
i bob up and down nodding my head to wtvr music i have on. and if i dont have any music i have some pump up song going in my head.
 
My friends told me that sometimes before I drop into something really retarded, i'll say "cowabunga" then drop in. But I never remeber saying it. Adrenaline is a weird drug.
 
Wtf? The ski tapping and pole tapping I do is just to get the snow of the baskets and skis... Weird concept huh?
 
I do the pants thing before hitting small jumps. But for big jumps or cliffs i definatly rock the pole clink.
 
thats the best shit I've seen in a long time. I could score a ton of points for claiming to strangers after coming down patsy marley at mach speeds
