Hey hey, getting a bit tired of listening to the same old same old on the ipod before and during rides, wondering what other people find gets them going when they are riding or travelling to go ride. Apologies for the lingo in the title, couldn’t think of any other way of putting it 😆
Any suggestions? Artists and song names? Eclectic music taste here so I’ll give most thing a shot, except new monkey, IMO it should be banned 🙂
Cheers!

the sound of the bike and the trail everytime!

Pendulum,Prodigy.
Any Drum & bass

already have some pendulum and prodigy, both some of my favourite artists among others.

Electric six and ‘dance commander’

Good video too 😀

Came in to mention The Prodigy as well, Invaders Must Die is an awesome album for pre-ride stokeage 😀 Anything fast-paced really. I like punk rock like Alk3, Blink 182 etc.

“….. Giving you what you like, and you like Bass…. “

Bass n drum

dnb. PunkRock. Techno

Maybe not for this time of year but i love listening to It Was A Good Day by Ice Cube before or after a long summers day ride

Was used in a great advert for Nike SB last year too [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MNP9WPtcgU[/video]

dnb. Stoked^rad 😉

Rise Against. Should be familiar to anyone whos seen a bike film in the last couple of years.

<flasheart> spot of Elgar before a tour of the estate –> AMPED </fh>

3min44sec by John Cale.

As above anything from various bike dvd’s.

Stoked?

Do real people even use that word?

Nana Mouskouri

i ride like a nob if cant hear my bike.

stoked, buzzin, wired, hyped, pumped aka excited.
i’m sure if you don’t use stoked you will have used some form of slang etc to mean something else. after all REAL people stoke fires 😉

The silence before the ride.

The sound of the bike through the ride.

The sound of a ring-pull after the ride.

try High Contrast or Subfocus.

My stove is feeling stoked.
Sick.

strangley I like oasis during xc rides. also prodigy in the car going followed by Morcheeba/Tricky/Portishead on way home.

Rodriguez is tha man….triple at 1:18 is sick.

Opening track on Ice Cube’s ‘predator’ is mint ball.

Definately this guy ❗

Inversely, the sound missing from my life that I consider to be the quintessential ingredient for a great day out is that of my children arguing with each another in the back seat of my car!

Minor Threat.

not necessarily stoked for a ride but I just came across this and it amuses me, chap hop!

professor elemental

my rear hope pro 2 hub 😯

and this on the way to the ride:

that professor elemental is bloody hilarious!

+1 for the professor…we Brits really are knitting with one needle.

I have been at the front of both Pendulum and Prodigy gigs this year. Proper good but not the kind of thing I would need before a ride to get ‘stoked’ or otherwise. I don’t think mixing my music and riding would be beneficial actually. If I did it would be something like Breaking Benjamin or early Muse.

I watch this too for inspiration… simply amazing riding and stunning scenery ( last 1/3 of film is really special imho ) :

I’ve got an orange (coloured) bike but that’s where the similarity with him ends 😀

I’m with Druid. Nothing gets me “stoked.”

A word I associate with wannabe Bill and Ted bawbags who’ve picked it up on gap years? Like that infuriating upward inflection? When it’s not even a question?

Uptalking? Pendulum and “stoked” all make me glad that Australia is such a very, very long way away.

Not difficult to know what he meant even if it’s not a ‘real’ word…

Do you have any good songs that get you ‘pumped up, excited, scared, etc?).

Brilliant forum by the way.

I get stoked by coming up behind ipod wearing muppets and scaring the bejesus out of them 😉

Stoked?

Do real people even use that word?

So glad someone else thinks like I do, if the OP is American or Canadian I might let him off but anyone in the UK using words like that has clearly been sucked into the vortex of MTB magazine radness. 😆

Stoked should only be used as a word when men have finished stoking a fire, when women do this it’s poking ,and they should stop it at once.

Nearly forgot, there was a question….. 😆

I like to watch this video before heading off out at the moment, relaxes me nicely. 8)

“Uptalking? Pendulum and “stoked” all make me glad that Australia is such a very, very long way away.”

You’ve gone to the wrong place to avoid Pendulum… 😀
