do u skate better with......

[SidVan]

better, depending on the music. chill out music helps me focus

[gsosa1284]

I skate better with music, but my sansa got stolen so I skate without music. What music does is that it helps me wanna keep skating, therefore my sessions are longer.

[old skool John]

i only skate with music from a boom box beacuse if i had and ipod and i fell that shit will be fucked. and only death metal, none of that pussy emo shit.

There's nothing better than good music playing while you are sessioning a ramp or park. I don't like to listen to music while street skating though.

[Marcish]

Well, I actually didn't vote. I've been skating with my iPod for about a year now, and I don't actually see the big change.

I tend to chill more when I'm listening to music. Like, I'm completly isolated from the rest of the world and I can just chill wherever the fuck I want.
But meh. I don't think it changes the actual "skills".

[SidVan]

it doesn't change the skills but it gives you energy. it's like working out

[bailgun]

i skate better when i skate with people who are better than me.

[The brycickle]

I skate worse when I skate with Paul...but I usually have more fun.


Paradox.

I like listening to my pod, but I'm often caught listening to fast paced louder music, which isn't good cause then I tend to carcass.
I skate the way the music sounds and sometimes that makes me cruise or die.
Focusing is a lot easier without music.
So basically better skating is accomplished with the screams of kids and the birds chirping rather than ipoding.

I skate better with music... i use those headphone that dont fall out of your ears like the iPod ones do every time you jump off of something.

[Guenst]

It depends on the situation.  Normally I skate by myself so I enjoy music unless I really need to focus on a trick, then it's just distracting, but whenever I skate with friends or just random people at the park I turn off the jams.

[HPTDoh]

Always skate better with music. I love being isolated in my own little world.
Usually I'll warm up with some chill hip hop (paradox?)... then onto electronic dance music.. metal when I start trying big shit outside of my skill level. More chill hip hop as I'm recovering. Then it's kind of a toss up after that

[Zero Point Two]

i love the sound of swiss bones without shields, ollie, 50-50 grind, land.

so no music.

[malinas]

pop those caps off and then throw your bearings in sock and then in the dryer for around 30 minutes.
You get the card in the bike spokes effect, I love it.

[jerk.]

music makes my mind blank

and skating with a blank is a good way to learn yo tricks

thinking is bad
