Best Music To Skate To

The best music to skate board to in my opinion is definitely rock and roll.  Others prefer to skate to rap music and hip hop, but personally I find rock to really get you pumped up to land your tricks.  Music has a huge influence on how you skate and personally I cannot skate without music.  The music that you're listening to allows you to get around the fear and anxiety which come when performing a difficult trick.  Music enables you to calm down and approach the obstacle with a mind at ease.  Personally I love to skate board to Dragonforce, a heavy metal band with extremely fast guitar.  The faster the song is the faster I seem to skate.  Another great band to skate to is The Killers, this band is extremely mellow and enables a slow smooth ride depending on the song that you are listening to.  When choosing music it is really important to chose a song which fits your current mood.  If you are currently feeling extremely lethargic you probably should not be playing something like Dragonforce.  Instead however, you should be listening to something that supplements your mood such as Modest Mouse.  Another great band that I love to skate to, however they are not rock is Crystal Castles.  Crystal Castles has extremely catch beats and also is a pretty fast band so it makes it a blast to skate to.  Personally, my top three favorite bands to skate to are Dragonforce, Lucky Boys Confusion, and David Bowie.  These bands are not necessarily best associated with skating; these are just my personal favorite bands to listen to when skating.
