yeh i have a pari of shitty skullcnady head phones, they dont swivel but they get plenty loud so will throw them round my neck next time im riding and see how we go.

Do you wear a helmet though?

nah - most of the time I don’t. I own one but got out of the habit of wearing it when I did a season and now it just feels weird & like I’m expecting I’m gonna crash, when I put it on. I know it is pretty stupid not to, but just how it feels at the moment.

yeh fair enough, it may pose a problem with a helmet on (headphones around neck) but i will cross that bridge when i get to it

If ya got an old pair of iPod buds (the ones that come standard with ya iPod), cut a hole in ya ear pads of ya helmet, then work them into the centre of the pad, stitch the entry cut back up and voila!!!!! Ya have some mood music to dance by!!!!!!

yeah but then you end up with the problem of not being able to hear what is going on around you, all over again!

With my setup, there is a volume thing on the cord. Turn it to the right level and you have no problems smile

i think the best way is to just go with speakers
i usually ride with 4 of these daisy chained around my chest inside my jacket, just tie them onto your lining

Leaves them a bit more vulnerable but your like a mini boombox and you dont have the problem of not being able to hear your surroundings

Riding with music can make it so good, pump and amp you up. Lately one of the big ones in my playlist is :-
The Glitch Mob
Adventure Club
Trouble Andrew
M83
Nero
Delorean

But i normally wear my headphones just in front of my ears on my temple’s so i can still hear whats going around me. Ive been using the frends alli headphones, sick company making good headphones. Started by a bunch of snowboarders, who basically are collectively against shaun white. The likes of Mikkel Bang, Danny Davis, Scotty Lago n Kevin Pearce.
