Playing at night
It has seemed to me, several times, that when playing late at night (It's 3:40am now) it's like I'm more inclined to make some tricks on levs, get good times etc. The most recent example for me is tonight: I've quite easily done the TW levs I had been struggling a bit with (mind you, I hadn't played them all that much but anyway).
Other incidents as I remember well is when I first made the drop-trick in Jaws. I also think I first made the Headbanger pipe when it was late at night. There are several other incidents as well of course.
So, I can't help but wonder if there's any reason to this? Something different with our (my) mind and other body functions when it's late and I'm tired?
Anyone else have noticed something like this?

I do höyl much on the nights, though not as much as earlier cos nowadays ive full time job
anyway, I just suck on night höyling and its mostly because im too tired but i just cant stop playing cos I know that the better time is so close but usually ive to give up before I get that better time
then in the next day it can be few runs and ez wr, what a waste of time that night höyling for me

Night hoyling isn't waste of time, Karlis. Your fingers learn the movements and you do them automatically without thinking anymore. It's the touch and feeling. Because you are tired you can't do all tricks in one ride but in next morning you are freshed and still have that feeling which you learnt last night. Normal thing during WCup4, at least to me.
People who get the best times at night are probably those who begun to hoyl at noon or something and just learnt the track after a few hours playing and then it is night. They play one level one day maximum so they don't get the advantage of that "waste of time night hoyling" and most likely don't get any superb times.
Understood? Hardly.

its not totally waste of time I know, but if I would use that night höyling time after i've slept good then I would get the same time with less playing
of course you learn the movements if you play 8 hours at night but why play 8 hours at nighttime when you can get as good results with 6 hours on sunday morning

Re: Playing at night
Disregarding the fact that I've been playing elma and ircing all day lately, I think I also play most and best late, late at night. I also did Hedabanger pipe first (and only) time late at night, maybe Karlis has logs of this (I talked to him and kuiva I think after I did it).SveinR wrote:I also think I first made the Headbanger pipe when it was late at night.

I don't like staying up so late, but I do it anyway.
For me, playing at night is extremely enjoyable and often more succesfull than lets say, playing at the morning/daytime. Eventhough you're a little tired, you're also kind of "sharp", the tiredness is different. Also the enviroment is perfect for playing at night. No sun to disturb you, only darkness. Tiredness doesn't affect that much to your playing like it does when you play right when you wake up. The problem is that in the world we are living in today, humans are forced to sleep at nighttime, so often when you are playing at night, next day you will regret it - especially if you didn't achieve the things you wanted.
i have noticed this several times. Sink wr for example. i hoyled soo much at night but got only 32:90-32:94 times. next morning with few tries i got 32:84. maybe i learnt smth at that nightAbula wrote:Night hoyling isn't waste of time, Karlis.

For some reason I'm very physically alert when I really should go to bed (1-2 am). But I'm usually also mentally tired, so my hoyling and other stuff I try to do doesn't turn out that good anyway.

I stayed up until 3am last night beating all of my mates times...It did get quite hard towards the end, but looking through the 'best times' thing was great. "chux, chux, chux, chux........"
I dream of a world where chickens can cross the road without their motives being questioned.
