Music on the Trail?

June 23, 2009 by TrailsTV 

First off, I in no way wish anyone injury of any kind by not being able to hear the sounds around you. So stay focused and push your self…

Now that that’s out of the way… Music on your trail… What are you listening to? Me - it depends what type of trail I’m on and what’s my primary goal. Example: Mountain biking with kids, mountaineering; two perfect examples of what I would be listening to.

Music, for me, has a way of driving the trail. Slayer for a hardcore downhill single track that’s super tight and requires a little stead fast approach. I recently went to Sheeps Flat at the top of Slide mountain, a took the “nature walk” to Incubus. Was really nice, and I set my pace pretty quick…

I have on my iPod, Cage the Elephant, Infected Mushroom, Oingo Boingo, Metallica, Y & T, Rage Against the Machine…

So I ask you again… What music are you listening to on the trail?
