So if im scoping out a new cliff drop or sketchy blind line I will draw an arrow in the snow with my pole as a guide for when I ride in. I also made a habit over the years of tapping my poles together twice then hitting the top of my helmet to set my goggles better before I drop. This thread is for any of those kind of little tricks or rituals you guys do while up on the slopes. What kind of stuff you guys do?

I ride no poles so usually I clap my hands together at deafening decimal levels. Also, if I'm hitting a nice air, I will give a loud aaaaaaeeeeeeeehooooooowwww
Also liftline nose presses for stretching

I will usually flick my arms and give a weak little Ollie at the drop in to the park

I don’t call my drops, I just yell “suck it nerds!!!” And bomb into my features

I do a little hop on the flat ground after I get off the lift. Makes me feel better if I'm going to be getting any air that run
