Sinecure Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Darin Talbot. Songs like: Tahoe Backcountry Old School Rider Tweeker Shred Master Ski Bum Boarder Girl References to Sims Switchblade, Barfoot, "ripping it up on my long board," "aching desire to carve my way," "leave work early to get in a couple turns," "hey bro, check out the boarder girl...she's a lift op...and she really rocks my world (Tonja's post-college job?)," "with Sorels supported by duct tape, they grabbed their wintersticks, and barfoots and fade into the mountains...," "burning fatties down the access road," "freshies waiting for me..." You can buy the CD or get them on iTunes. He has a bunch of other tunes, but those are some of the better ski-related ones. You can catch him often in North Lake Tahoe performing at Squaw Creek on the deck in the afternoons or at some of the Incline casinos in the evening. He doesn't ride hard boots any more, but he knows what they are. Nice guy. A must-have for anyone's boarding tunes collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 is a little Slightly Stoopid to that mix or Lee "Scratch" Perry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKBoarder Posted August 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 is a little Slightly Stoopid to that mix or Lee "Scratch" Perry. Yeah that is missing. I like Slightly Stoopid, thanks for reminding me. I have never heard of "Scratch" I will have to look him up later. Ya know I find so much good music on I-Tunes its crazy....I search for a song and then go to the section "What others Bought" and I could go on for hours listening and buying music.

Pow Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 Ive got a more "teenage park monkey" soundrack with Green Day Flogging Molly The Fratellis Aerosmith Queen The Eagles The Who Rush Boston Dick Dale The Fratellis are especially kick-ass, in my personal opinion. Props to Paragon for showing me their CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted August 29, 2007 Report Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'd say that's more of a middle-aged park monkey list... You don't want to hear the crap they're listening to now. Pow has a good list though. I'd add some zeppelin, maybe some dmb. Then again I'm all over the map when it comes to music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Prokopiw Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 to a snowboard scene of all time in my book is when Electric Head Part1 (White Zombie) is used to present Terje backflipping off a sixty foot cliff in TB-4. I've been a fan of both ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Jane's Addiction - "Coming down the Mountain" is one of my all time faves Nine Inch Nails - "I was up above it" - now I'm down in it ( may not be the real name of the song. Great powder song. Ministry works well for me too. U2 the Joshua Tree Nirvana Pearl Jam - Ten Metallica Jimi Hendrix Rush Boston Widespread Panic For mellower days: John Lee Hooker Annie Lennox Everything but the Girl Paul Kelley and the Messengers David Gray the Lemonheads Govt Mule Grateful Dead Widespread Panic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vahur Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't use tunes during riding, but if I were using, then probably something in 3/4 metric (for metric-challenged: it's waltz :D), as it goes well with riding: edge (change)-push-pull, edge-push-pull, edge-push-pull.

I don't ride so much with tunes but used all the harder stuff before every race to get the aggro edge that I needed to finish something like 3rd from last. Occasionally I did win if there were only a few guys in my class. A win is a win though right. Guess I gotta get me one of those iPod things to put all my cds on. The 3/4 metric thing is waaaaay to technical for me though. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AK in PA Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Man, I haven't ridden while listening to music since the mid-90's with my Walkman...which I still have, somewhere. Every year, I'd make a new "Grateful Shred" tape, as I named them. Lord, Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream", Metallica's "Fight Fire with Fire", and 2 Live Crew's "C'mon Babe" were favorites back then. I used to get some wild looks at the top of the hill when people standing near by could hear the 2 Live Crew lyrics blaring in my headphones. (I'd just grin.) :D I wanted anything with a fast, hard beat to charge me up, drown out the sound of my edges chattering on ice, and rip out fear. Worked great and for a long time, I never rode without it. Anymore, I'm a Dave Matthews Band junkie. If I'd get an ipod and do it again, I'm sure I'd load "Don't Drink The Water", "Crush", "JTR", "Cornbread", "Watchtower", and "Tripping Billies", at a minimum. Of course, when I listen to DMB, I'm often trying to play my violin along with Boyd, which is ugly, if not just wrong. Come to think of it, I'm a little nervous that if I actually listened to DMB while carving, I might wax my board with rosin and end up wrapped around a tree, skewered with maple and spruce shards, with a bow jammed in my @ss and horsehair flowing out my nose, wailing "Crash Into Me" in a shock induced stupor...

JoelP Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 On good dumping powder day try Seal, he's a snowboarder too and for some reason his music fits right in with a groove that floats with you thru the trees. My carving tunes list is too extensive to post :-))) Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pow Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 ive recently fallen in love with "Pepper" and it will fill a big part of my Ipod this winter. If you havn't heard them, i suggest checking it out. Reggae/Ska/punkish music... should set the mood for some nice carving:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
