So the classic cliché is that skating is mostly mental, and in all fairness it's pretty accurate. If you don't have that mental power to try a new trick or commit to a hammer then you're progression is going to be slowed. But what if there was a hack that could make you more in control of your mental game when you’re skating, and instantly improve your session?
​So how is power beneficial? The feeling of powerfulness makes you more motivated, more willing to take risks, and even increases strength as I talked about in a video 2 weeks ago, whereas powerlessness reduces motivation, makes you more careful, and even decreases strength.
So generating power for skateboarding can be a game-changer as risk-taking, motivation, and confidence are all huge parts of skating. Every new trick or every hammer is a risk, and you need to be hyped and down to try it if you want any chance of landing it. We all know that the more confident you’re feeling, the better you’re going to skate. And well, all of these aspects increase when you feel more powerful, so if we hack that feeling of power, in theory we should skate better.
Alright so how do we hack power? Well there are many different ways to do so but in this video we’re talking about how to take advantage of our animal side. So first, just be aware that there’s a strong connection between how well you’re skating and your internal state. Second, be aware that your body language is one thing that can affect your power. Research has been done showing that holding a 2 minute pose in a powerful position can literally increase power compared to holding a powerless position. I know it sounds insane, and you’ll probably feel pretty insane doing it but one thing you could do is literally lock yourself in the bathroom and power pose it before you leave your house to go skate.
On top of this I think making an effort to also hype yourself up and focus on the feeling of power - whatever that is for you - can make it extra effective. You could do a power-pose and self-hype at the same time - if for you self-hype means slapping yourself on the forehead with a salmon, or maybe doing a Maori war dance, do it, just get hyped.
I always ride my bike to the local spot and a few weeks ago I started power posing it on the ride there, whilst also trying to generate that feeling of power and thinking positively about how I’m going to skate, and I swear it’s had a massive positive influence on my skating.
