tripping while playing sports boosts performance?

so last weekend i ate some 2 grams of cyans andwhen on a nature walk. that was an amazing walk and i learned about alot of wierd shit, and it was just amazing. well when i got home, still tripping a nice amount, i got a sudden urge to play basketball, so i grabed my gear and ball and left to the court. i noticed while shooting around i was shooting very poorly because of the shrooms, but that soon faded, and then i started geting this really wierd feeling, like i was the best player in the world, literally. i started playing EXTREMELY well and i was playing waaay extra hard. me and others were playing 4 on 4 and i noticed i was playing so much better, like my game had rised to an immense amount of skill, and i was killing the other team like i was kobe bryant. it was like the shrooms completely boosted my skill to a level that i never play while sober, i cant xplain it. in essence my game was raw, and i was playing sooo incredibly hard, it was crazy, like.....i cant even explain it.
so when any of you play sports while mildly tripping, do you notice an obivous boost in your skill and ability to play your sport? ne comments on how my game raised to such a high level? thanx for the input

i don't think mushrooms make your coordination/sports peformance better. I think it would fuck it up.

Yea thats impossible, you must have not been tripping hard, shrooms just degrade your hand/eye coordination.

not necessarily true. small doses of psilocybin were proved in the early Harvard experiments to increase sensory perception and mental accuity; the same is true for LSD. at low doses, psychedelics provide the ability to hyper-focus on the activity at hand.
i've personally never tried this out, although i think i will next time i dose. however, i do have a friend who played D1 football for a while and he swore up and down that some of the best games he ever played were on small doses of cid. the way he described it was that he could see the plays unfolding almost preemptively, and was two steps ahead of the offense shutting them down.
sounds like a cool experience mustardman.

I'm pretty good at basketball but I've never played while tripping -- def. plan on it sometime soon. I'm really good at high basketball, it takes away all my inhibitions and makes me more creative on the drive.

I'm a pretty avid runner and have been for years. I noticed a few times while running under the influence of LSD my stamina and concentration was at a peak. I could concentrate on the rhythm of my pace and breathing, it fucking great. I never gave it much thought until reading this post. But, wow I can remember being so in sync with my motion, while mildly under the influence. I think physical endurance is easier when you can concentrate beyond your fatigue, and maybe hallucinogens help?

I've always wondered about this as well. For me, i've noticed this sort of thing quite a bit. When I first started smoking weed, I noticed that I had more strength and physical endurance when working out. And I hope I don't get any shit for this, but you'll just have to trust me when I say that I drive much better while high. And i'm better with video games too, so I assume it has something to do being more coordinated.
And while I haven't had much experience with Ecstasy, I noticed that I type insanely well like that. I'll be talking to people online, and they think i'm copying and pasting stuff since i'll type a huge paragraph in seconds, which I normally can't do.
So i've always wondered if some of the other, more psychedelic drugs had similar effects as well? Something else that comes to mind are people playing instruments very well on stuff like LSD... Jimi Hendrix for example.

i agree, not during the overwheling blast of mushroom reality its to overwhelming and effefcts coridnation and such however in what i consider the "glow" post peak when your mostly returned to normaly but still have the euphoria and the slight preception change that my cordnation and focus is increased. along with the feeling of well being and so fourth i could very well see it being a preformance enhancer for sports. i think sometime this summer ill go golfing on mushrooms and try it out.

I am wondering something here - not saying this is the case but is it possible that in some situations, you just are enjoying the sport so much and just think you are doing better than usual ? Again, I am not saying it is not possible, just wondering. Has anyone had others verify that the ability increased while playing ?

I have had much experience with this. One time I was trippin and playing around with a bb gun. my friend was a about 20 feet back and was tossing a popcan in the air. Without even concentrating much I just moved the barrell to follow the can and hit it. He repeated 3 more times and I hit it dead on in the air every time.
My friends always skate on shrooms and both them and I agree they do much much better when tripping.

hoopershroomer.....I agree with you. A small amount can help you out.
I played basketball w/ 2 friends of mine when I was coming down on shrooms......btw I only ate a small amount, b/c i didnt have enough for a full trip....I shot extremely well that day. We were play 21, everyone for their selves, and I won 3 out of 4 games. I was making all of my free throws, which usually doesnt happen.
Again I think a small amount can help you play better. I also think weed can too, but thats another topic.

i'm a long-time runner as well (although i've been slacking lately, trying to get back into the routine). i've noticed the ease of running on a trip too (shrooms in my case). it makes sense; there's that critical point in every distance run where you have to shrug off the fatigue, it's like switching from body to mind... i think with the psychoactives that mental/physical switch has already been thrown, the mind is already at the wheel.
it's cool to read all these different stories about peoples experience with this increased mental/physical aptitude tripping. let's keep this post going.

i can run forever on shrooms and acid (also rolls but thats not safe) however me and a friend were jus kikin around a soccer ball in a park each on a hit of some pretty potent acid, and my game was soo off. along with my timing because; 1st trailers were a bitch, and any thing that required precision or focus on the ball made me question the concept of a ball, and if its actually round because it was slowly morphing and different patterns were on it so i couldnt imagine playin and actual game of soccer.
basketball was also a disaster on a half e of homegrown cubensis...
