Do you listen to music when you ride?

[Jordahl]

if u voted yes, what do u listen to?

[mrn8]

Sometimes. What I listen to depends on my mood. I use a Creative MuVo2 4GB player.

Some of what I listen to:
Dream Theater
Disturbed
Joe Satriani
Trance Mixes (Tiesto is good)
Green Day
U2

[tommy]

i do sometimes like it really depends if im just cruising on the slopes then yeh its cool but if im in the parkage i kinda want all my attention on the ramp n stuff so no, but when i use my ipod i like listen to stuff like placebo,lost propeths, razorlight, snow patrol stuff like that.

[Courtney]

AFI, Amen, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Religion, Blur, Cake, Cradle of Filth, Desaparecidos, Dry Cell, Iron Maiden, Marilyn Manson, My Chemical Romance, Satyricon, Senses Fail, Skid Row, Slayer, Smashing Pumpkins, System of a Down, The Offspring, The Used, The White Stripes, Thursday, and Tool.

Thats most of my riding mix.

[El Bajong]

Did it for the first time last weekend. Doubt Ill ever ride again without music, it just enhances the experience so much!

Last weekend, I had some tracks from the soundtrack from "Return of the king", Gipsy Kings, Tanya Stephens and some local hip-hop.

[Jordahl]

i have to agree with courts soundtrack the most but ur missing a few bands...
killswitch engage, fear factory, static x, korn (did u already say korn i didnt pay that close attention) slipknot anything heavy metal works BEST cuz it gives it motivation feeling. thats why i kept taking out my cd player today cuz i kept changing it back to atreyu right side of the bed, the crimson, and bleeding mascara. good shit

[marcolo86]

Nothing as good as Rage Against The Machine. Or Prodigy.

[ESS Riders]

i'm about to buy a mp3 player to listen music on slopes... as i'll ride alone most of time this year...

listening ska-P, dialated peoples, infinite mass, green day, tryo, BEPeas, maroon5, cia&kgb, michael rose , chukki stara and dis l'heure 2 ragga .... hopefully

:p

[McShane]

i tend to like being aware whats going on around on the slope, so i do not carry a player with me. but i don't mind (rather prefer) music on the slope's speakers...
anything but dance, techno, hip-hop. would prefer punk, surfer-rock, and the kind

[Branden]

It's all about the music. Music puts me in the mode I ride. Listening to chill music like Biggy or Pac let me flow nice and pull smooth sh*t. When I go big Slipknot, Necro. Ill Bill or Cage is what I listen to. Music is everything.

**Branden

[PureVenom]

When i do it's: Slayer,hatebreed,staind,korn,spineshank,judas priest,iron maiden,satriani,lagwagon,the gimmie gimmies,sepultura,PANTERA(of course),Napalm death,canibal corpse,I try to keep a good mix on the MP3 player ar all times

[kirk]

I don't ride with anything cause im sure I'll break it, but I always get Killing in the Name of by Rage playin in my head before I hit big kickers.

That's what I'm talking about...

[Kelli]

when i am alone
modest mouse
radiohead
REM
zeplin
hendrix
POD
a mix of everything but no rap and no screechy country

[SkaFreak]

I have to agree that I don't very often like to have a player on me for fear of breaking it, but if I could chose what the park was playing, it would be a nice mix of some ska (the toasters, streetlight manifesto, mad caddies, VGS, etc.), some old school punk (the clash, the ramones), some new school punk (Alkaline Trio, Anti-Flag, bouncing souls), and maybe some Atmosphere thrown in. He's just about the only type of hip-hop or rap that I like.

[Skyler]

Atreyu, Bayside, Saves the Day, AFI, Coheed and Cambria, New Found Glory, Sum 41, Taking Back Sunday, Tool, System of a Down, Crossfade, Seether, Stonesour, Breaking Benjamins, are usually streaming with me. If anyone has a chance, check out this upcoming local (to me) band. They are called Left Unsaid. www.leftunsaid.com

[Christian]

a box full of sharp objects is awesome when your chargin down, but usually its anything thats really fast paced so alot of mixes are spinning

[Jordahl]

fast paced music, when i find my playlist ill tell u whats on it

[allz]

i'm not listening on mountain any music

but listening this: B.I.G. ; Wu-Tang ; dnb ; hip-hop instrumentals all kind ; some Chillout music sometimes ; Gustavo (latvian hiphop) ...and yes, Rage ..is good!

[Jordahl]

alright guys here it is after a whole 5 minutes of looking...
AFI, atreyu, avenged sevenfold, bad religion, cky, damage plan, desaparecidos, fear factory, gorman prophecy, him, ill nino, killswitch engage, korn, lamb of god, linkin park, mudvayne, my chemical romance, protest the hero, senses fail, skid row, smashing pumpkins, static x, system of a down

[Xboarder]

I listen to killswitch engage, trapt, 12 stones, story of the year, underoath, green day and many more. It just makes it more exciting. I only listen to music tho if im skiing bymyself. If friends are with me i usually dont.

what kind of case do u have on ur i-pod?

[snojam]

i dont have any sleeve for my i-pod. i just keep the screen of it turned tward me and the silver part away. i have fallen with it and it has never broken. and as for keeping the snow out of it, just keep it in your jacket pocket (not your pants cuz you dont wanna chance falling on a rail with it against your leg) and put it on shuffel or make a special playlist or sumthin of all the songs you like riding to. thats what i did.

[PureVenom]

Thats why I bought a cheap RCA lyra just for riding. It's inexpensive,super small and holds enough music for a day and a boat load if you add a flash card. Throw it in your jacket pocket and go with no worries.

[tupacalive35]

[tupacalive35]

[Nikav]

Rage against the machine
offspring
bad religion
nofx
CH
greenday (Old tracks)

And some greek groups like
TXC and La Sagrada Familia

[hamradio]

I don't listen to music while skiboarding, but I do listen to my ipod a couple hours per day. Here's some favorites-
R.E.M.
Meat Loaf
U2
Talking Heads
Motley Crue
Poison
Van Halen
Steely Dan
Marshall Tucker Band
Pure Prairie League
Weird Al

[Mark]

I find the music great while doing some mellow ( or hardcore ) cruising but find it to be a bit of a distraction in the terrain park.

[BrklynCarver]

I have my music player with me everywhere I go (it's built into my cellphone), but on the slopes, I listen to it on the lifts, not when riding. My choice in music is hard rock/metal, then some classic rock stuff.

[taimos]

awesome music to ride to.


im loving that tune on the ben wannamaker vid as well, the side st reny one with the rapping, its sick!

[rob12]

by myself i listen to music

i hardly ever go by myself

[Daniel]

I listen to music almost always.
Dance club massacre
Drop dead, gorgeous
The blood brothers

[Alex]

I usually listen to something really chill like Explosions in the Sky

by the way daniel... dance club massacre... damn good band

[J.T.]

I first took music on the slopes a couple years ago and I'll never go without it again... if I can help it.

Depending on what kind of riding I'm doing my playist can range anywhere from Zero 7 to The Strokes to Rage Against the Machine.

[mctwist311]

hey seems like we all got somewhat similiar taste thats cool. Im a Big rage fan specially when on the mountain... but i listen to a bunch of other stuff you guys got listed Korn, Metelica, Sevendust... also some hip hop i like the linkin park jayz combo... sweet tracks on that one specially for the mtn... dont always listen though probably only when i am alone or with other that are listenen cause then i feel rude.... have to check out some of these other bands u guys are talkin about...

[c-smithy]

[Mark]

exactly kirk, i made a skiboard playlist full of only chilloutski music.

[DennisEvans]

...might I ask who revived this thread?

[EmptiMind]

Whenever there's a vote it goes back to the top. I'm going to guess someone saw the other Music post, did a search, and voted.

[TheGoudaDoctor]

Early season I threw a huge 540 tail off of a big ol roller, and my mp3 just shot out of my pocket, down the hill, and off the side of the trail into the woods, so I was SOL on that....

I now ride in silence lol.

[EmptiMind]

That's why you zip up your pocket. :P
