Tom1989 Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 do you listen to music whilst you ride? if so what type etc?cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemteX Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I used to listen to music when riding, mostly rock n metal etc. Now i tend to just listen to it when im on my to a ride instead of when i'm riding. Also, it makes you look a bit ignorant if your riding with others and your just listning to your ipod instead of talking to them...It's ok when your on your own though.

yoyoyo Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I find metal makes you go for more stuff as it makes you more aggressive when riding. Thats what i use when i go riding.Also some people use dance music because it has a strong beat to it and you can move to the beat.And i don't think you look arrogant if you only have one headphone in.

N.Wood Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 The only earpieces i've found that withstand trials abuse (i.e don't fall out when you do something) are the Bang and Olufsen ones. I find music puts me off stuff anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 I have done at times, I find it better for natural riding and the fast beats, with quick technical section make me feel more confident in what I am doing so I can afford to take riskd more.

joe parker Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 (edited) i usto ride listening to music when i was riding on my own on on a big ride so i could just block everyone out and ride peacefully! :$ but now the bloody MP3 player is broken and no money to replace it Edited April 23, 2006 by joe parker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luccosleeps Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 i find that music distracts me from concerntrating especially if im wearing earfones. but if there was music being played somewhere i'd find something chilled like hiphop or jazz really nice to ride to, makes my riding flow abit more smoothly.

anzo Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I tried to listen to music, but the headphones kept falling out...until I got my phone (W800i, with the plug in headphones) they stuck in good when riding, but I had them for a week and left them in the f**king pub.But I listen to anything, put my Ipod on party shuffle and listen to anything, as long as it drains out the 'oil your brakes' or 'I'm calling the police' comments from annoying b*****d pensioners.

Greetings Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 It really varies... about 2 years ago I loved to listen to music when riding but couldn't because I didn't have an MP3 player (just a cd player which for trials was useless). A year ago I got myself an MP3 player and realized that music doesn't make things easier. When I ride I need to concentrate on the bike and for this I need peace and quiet. Also I like doing things as quietly and smoothly as possible which is difficult when there's noise being fed into your ears. But yes, if I do ride with music, its mainly house or chillout yet it doesn't help me concentrate. It helps if riding alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Cable Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I listen to dance, as it helps me to chill out and move more fluidly. I onyl listen to music when i ride on my own. But when im riding with others, i enjoy listening to the general banter between people and sometimes that can make me move more fluidly than music!From Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_PRO Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 I find that watching trial videos before i ride helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
