music for whole runs through the park or while freeriding, i feel like i'm doing everything smoother and with more flow

however when i'm seshing a rail or trying new stuff on a jump and keep practicing the same thing over and over, i can get more focused without music and just the sound of the wind rushing by ....

I don't listen to music when I ski anymore, you're not as aware of you're surroundings and when you're rocking the fuck out cutting people off and basically being an unaware d-bag (which is what too many skiers/boarders listening to music are like), then nobody likes you. Besides, how do you talk to people?

I feel ridiculous saying this, and even when it happens I feel a little ridiculous. But the second any hip hop comes on when I'm skiing I feel like I ski better...stupid I know, but true.
I guess the logical explanation would be it reminds me of every edit with sick skiing and hip hop in it...

Music gets me excited when I am about to drop in but I kinda zone out on the in-run. I probably try more stuff with music but I dont think it makes me better.

yes! it keeps me more focused on a trick, like instead of thinking about how it's going to go wrong i just listen to music so it keeps my mind off that bad stuff.

I did an experiment at the end of the season. For a half the day i listened to music and the other half of the day i did not listen to music. Remind you that all of last season I don't think i've gone one day without music. I ended up performing waaay better with music, than without. I couldn't land the simplest of tricks without music. Helps me concentrate!

for me, skiing is fun enough as it is. plus I like to hear what's going on around me and talking with my friends. it also allows me to spell properly too.

If i am riding solo i listen to music because the chairlift rides get so boring but never when skiing with friends. I ski the same with music and without.

How about taking your headphones off?

I get so pumped with music, like some one mentioned it reminds of all the sick edits and movies, and how they made me really stoked to ski, and i get that rushing feeling to go and throw down. With that being said, there are days when i'm not feeling music, i just skip it then, no big deal.

music gets me pumped up before skiing, but I find that I usually pay very little attention to it while acually skiing so I prefer to ski without

I only use one headphone to be social and with 2 it can be a bit dangerous cause you're not aware of what's around you much.

Music gets me pumped :)

I def listen to music almost all of the time but more just to have good tunes because i love music. But i keep it quiet enough to listen to my skiing and to be able to talk to people. mainly just for backround sound. When its snowing i love skiing without music though

I cant ski park without music. I mean have you listened to the sounds skis make skiing park? Its harsh haha. Plus it just helps me flow better. Pow can go either way. If im with people i dont always listen to music, if im not with people i usually do because otherwise lift rides alone get rather boring.

This is true with me. I always listen to music when i ski and when i dont it bothers me. I have to ski with music going into both ears or it throws me off.
