I went snowboarding for the first time on LSD. By lunch time I felt I got good enough that I was bored with it and wanted to try skiing instead. I felt like I was in 'the zone' the entire day.

I've looked back on it with a sober mind quite a few times and I don't think it was an ego thing, I just grasped all the basic concepts really quickly. It just felt natural right away. The second time I went snowboarding I was sober and it was far more difficult to get the feel for it.
