How does the Weather affect your riding style?

Just had an idea for this thread, Discuss how Temperatures,humidity etc. affect you.

For me, it seems like when it is cold I start doing less barspins, more tailwhips, and overall I tend to do more tech riding.

If it's cold I seem to do bigger stuff but I don't do any barspins or whips at all lol. Fuck the cold . I just go to a park.

Wow I've never thought about it before but it seems that I do way more tech stuff if it's cold. Good idea for a thread imo

If it's wet my whole riding changes completely. I stop doing spins completely and I don't do stuff into manuals. If it's icy I do tons of sliders, cali sliders, and powerslides. If it's warm I do a lot of slow, flowy tricks.

I dont ride in the ice, one of my buddys broke his shoulder doing that. I tend to be more flowy in the winter, and do more flat.

i refuse to ride on anything wet.

same. in the winter I ride like 1-2 times a week maybe 3 if im lucky because now skatebarn is closed and it's always wet. Other than that I warm up for a few minutes and then I can do all my normal stuff. I don't do many barspins anyway lol.

In the summer I ride everyday and thats when I progress the most.

If it's wet I'll go to my local indoor skatepark, I can't ride if it's to hot in Summer because I am in Australia after all haha, and I hate wind really badly, I always miss the transitions and landings because the wind pushes me onto the dirt.

I can't ride good at all when it's cold. It hurts to catch barspins on my grips since they get hard. I have no deck feel for catches so its hard to catch whips. My feet get frozen so they don't work as great. Also my scooter feels like it weighs 15 pounds, which sucks for me since I'm a scrawny 13 year old that thought a RUP felt heavy at first. :'(
