RDY_2_Carve Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Normally I rock with tunes but if anybody "out of the ordinary" is riding with me then I go without. As far as choices...Anything from the Beatles to Fogerty to System to Avenged Sevenfold to Wu Tang to.... Anything but Country pretty much....I need to try some Classical this year! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pokkis Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 My favourites: - sound of wind - sound of sharp edge cutting slope Everything else sucks deeply. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 I really only listen when I'm on the lift. Other than that there is no music. There's also no crowd, no hunger, no wars, no gravity... Just me and snow. Well, ok, there is gravity, but I'm controlling it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 When skiing or riding solo I dig it! But we all know this is a social sport at heart and playing music while riding with others is just plain rude. Kinda dig lite jazz or white trash music, really diggin' old AC/DC these days.

"Ride On" up and "Rocker" down.Brian Johnson era favorite starting with the intro as I'm getting off the lift at the start of an epic run;live Thunderstruck.

philw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I just stick the remote (or nowadays the whole iPod) in my mitt and then I can have rhythm whilst I ride, but talk when I'm stopped. The best of both worlds. Piste is one of the best places to listen to music for me. In powder I use music less; the occasional blast through a first growth forest to something good is fun, but the silence there is magical anyway.

Silver Bullet Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I find music distracting and go to hills every weekend to get away from the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean there was a time when you weren't digging old AC/DC? Nice you're back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Prokopiw Posted November 10, 2007 Report Share Posted November 10, 2007 I have to admit to not riding to music as much as I used to,but playing what I want to have ringing in my head while driving to the hill.May sound strange,but I would be riding with the theme to Barney ringing in my head on any given morning otherwise.To me music of the right type at the right time is like nutrition or even better,like a legal performance enhancing drug.

Thumper Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I agree the hills are alive with the sound of musicso I use etymotic research ER-4P earsphones, they allow me to hear ambient noise also That sounds like a great product. The only reason I don't listen to tunes on the slope is sound my be the last chance you get to avoid a collision with a straightliner. Those earphones sound like the best of both worlds. My Christmas list just got longer -Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I agree with Steve on the performance enhancing thing. I listen to hard rock and it seems to make me more agressive at attacking the hill. Aerosmith, Living on the edge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tufty Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 <flamebait> Aerosmith, "hard rock"? Bwahahahaha!!! </flamebait> For me, I simply can't ride with music. I can't drive with it either. When I'm working (summertime, at a computer), I can't work without, it helps / forces me to ignore any external stimuli, which is probably why I find it screws me up when riding or driving. But I'm odd like that, I guess. Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastskiguy Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 For me, I simply can't ride with music. I can't drive with it either. Heh, I've got to turn it down to make a turn in the car LOL! Those Etymotic really block out the external sound, I can see my wife's mouth moving but I can't hear her with them in. A bit "too" isolating for me on the hill. But maybe I just need practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I live to drive with music, but I wouldn't snowboard with it. I'm with Pokkis - wind in my face, snowboard on slope, anything else is irrelevant. And also probably dangerous for a carver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrobb Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 I listen to tunes about 90% of the time. I use the "tune-ups" earpads for my Giro Fuse. I keep volume so it's like background music and I can still hear everything...even bombers on my tail. Top it all off, for 30bucks these things have really decent bass for cheap headphones. Hard to find any phones at that price that sound as good. And on the lift I mute with a button on the cord. They keep the ears toasty too.

Bobby Buggs Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 You are kidding right??? I dont even think about riding without tunes. Sh!t, I have been known to bring back up players on trips just in case I use Grio Tune-ups and use a Nano with a remote. I put a stomp nugget on the pause play button on the remote so when I press on my pocket it activates the pause. That way I can talk and listen to people when I need to. Then I just tap the pocket when I get up and back to the jam. Makes a play list last MUCH longer too. I listen to XM-BPM or Serius-The Beat type music Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Punk, Punk, Punk,.......and maybe a little Wagner for some culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shrederjen Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 Hendrix, Metallica, Bob Schneider, Floyd, Dead, maybe some funky blues like old Clapton. Those are what I like to ride to. :) Yes, once in a while, ya might see me crackup because something silly like Alligater Dave or Bevis and Butt Head come on... Riding with tunes in pow, is great. oh yea, Chile..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucible Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I play music in my head as I carve down the slope- I imagine the chopper attack scene from Apocalypse Now and Col. Kilgore saying " We're gonna lay down some Wagner- my boys love it!", as he opens up with "Ride of the Valkyries". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
