DO you have any playlists or artists in particular you listen to while doing extreme sports like snowboarding or mountain biking (does anyone on here do that?) Can you recommend some energy pumping tracks?
When I'm boarding I'll listen to all sorts, from Morricone film soundtracks to rock tracks. It depends on what you're doing I suppose, if you're tanking down a run, going for maximum speed, then yeah sort out some 'energy pumping tracks'. If you're on a run with long sweeping turns then maybe you want something a bit more laid back.

*swish* *swish*
but I tell you what watching the snowboarding on the Exxxtreme Sports SKY channel with the bad ska punk in the background is like going to the happy place innit. Really takes the edge off.
Whitelines has a good directory of soundtracks for most snowboard films. Have been introduced to people like Beulah and Exploding Hearts through it
When mountain biking i find ridiculously over the top drum + bass makes me ride like a nutter. Black Sun Empire ft State of Mind-Sandbag is my current favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xe7LtsfuCk
Really dangerous to those around you and yourself: I rely on my hearing as much as my sight to be aware of what's going on around me.
That's my old-man lecture for today. Cheers.
