A lot of people these days seem to ride with music playing. I hadn't tried it until my recent trip to Chamonix... where I spent the last couple of days riding with some tunes playing.
Beforehand I thought that it was going to be distracting, but it was actually not. There's a little bit of faffing to be done when your mates are trying to talk to you and you can't hear them, but in general it was fun, cool, and it psyched me up.
I've got this huge playlist of my favourite songs from all the snowboarding DVDs I've got - so the association was right on. It was excellent.
I didn't get to see much of the Olympic Halfpipe recently, and I saw more of the women's than the men's. I did however notice that at least one of the competitors was riding with music playing. That kinda seemed weird given that it was the Olympics, but I suppose it is part of the boarding culture now.
How many of you ride to music?
