[Dirt Rider]

what music do you listen to while putting the rubber side down?

 

[croscoe]

I usually don't listen to music, but when I do it's mostly death metal, grind, or old punk music.

 

[DiRt DeViL]

No music.

 

[FloridaFish]

On the way the drive to the trails I've been listening to "Slowride" or "The Aggrolites".

i find upbeat techno to be the best for twisty single tracky stuff. its fun to try and ride to the beat, it gives you a good rhythm and sometimes you go faster :thumbsup:

for climbing and such, classic rock works nicely. AC/DC and aerosmith come to mind

 

[Bubbles & Me]

The birds
The wind in the forest
The tires of my bike on the trail
Me sucking air
My little doggies footsteps running beside me


Better then any music I ever heard

 

[cork]

The entire Rise Against discography seems to keep getting called up for my rides......

Good stuff. :thumbsup:

i tried riding with music last month and, being a serious guitarist as well, found myself distracted from the riding, focusing too much on the music.

 

[KeepTheRubberSideDown]

No music on the trails for me.

Same here. Well, maybe not so seriuos playing guitar, but I dabble. :thumbsup:

Like some of the others I listen to the music of the great outdoors. For me that is part of the joy of being on the mountain bike. The wind, the grinding of the tires on the dirt, the tweety birds tweeting away, the rustle of the leaves in the trees. All music to my ears. That is what I enjoy, of course you are entitled to listen to whatever pleases you. In the end it is all about being on the bike.

 

[MLH]

Rise Against.

 

[Freerydejunky]

Strapping young lad, Lamb of God, Living sacrifice, Bury your dead, slipknot, Hed pe, Disturbed, Dry Kill Logic, In Flames, Opeth. Etc.

 

[presslab]

Music to my ears:

Chain slap
Fork bottoming
Rim denting
Tubeless burping
Knobbies howling
Chain grinding
And so on...

 

[DirtFlirt]

Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Lamb of God, 3 Inches of Blood, Atreyu, Children of Bodom, Fear Factory, Helloween, In Flames, Pantera, Ozzy...basically heavy metal :thumbsup:

 

[MtnSpectre]

I only...

I do have a specific playlist though....3 doors down, 50 Cent, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Audioslave, black sabbath, bush, creed, cypress hill, disturbed, drowning pool, eagles, godsmack, incubus, kazzer, korn, marilyn manson, nelly, nickleback, the offspring, powerman 5000, puddle of mudd, ram jam, Saliva, Shinedown, Staind, Tool, and UPO about 9 hours of music.

 

[soulrida]

I too cant focus on the trail if I have music blasting in my ears....

However on the road bike, its great to ride with tunes. Lately its been Stevie Ray Vaughan, ZZ Top, Hendrix, BB King and Zeppelin among others.
