Baller Dacon62 Posted April 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2020 Would love to hear the music that gets you pumped up for a slalom set. Here are my current favorite 3 in no particular order. UFO-Dr. Dr. Iron Maiden-Prowler. Motley Crue-Live Wire. List your top 3, and include links if you can to get us right to the music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Orlando76 Posted April 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2020 My rule is no radio when ski’s are in boat. In fact, really wished I didn’t have a radio in the ski boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller vtmecheng Posted April 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2020 If you need music to get pumped for a ski set, you're doing something wrong. I need something to relax me a bit before my first pass of the day, not get more amped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ DW Posted April 8, 2020 Baller_ Share Posted April 8, 2020 350 V8 rumble, but if you have to choose a tune: - 'burning down the house' Talking Heads - tunes on 'Edged in Water' > they picked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted April 8, 2020 Supporting Member Share Posted April 8, 2020 I do love all that old metal, whether it's something "serious" like Metallica's One or something flat-out ridiculous like Skid Row's Big Guns. But for me, music is extremely distracting for slalom skiing. The last thing I want in my mind is some other rhythm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller markn Posted April 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2020 Never used the radio or CD player in the boat. And I HATE the damn wake board boats that blast their crap music full volume. Beginning to feel like Jeff Dunham's Walter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Garn Posted April 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2020 RUSH! Any Rush! Having said that, I'm with @markn . I really don't listen to music while on the boat. I prefer being able to talk with the others in the boat. I love the sound of the water, of nature, or the quietness of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ReallyGottaSki Posted April 8, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 8, 2020 @Orlando76 , there indeed is, and you could! yeah. A part of me wishes to hear it uncorked But, i must consider my neighbors and many residents, given the early time we get on the water. Being a nuisance, suddenly the world descends upon you. Once I lost just one flapper and i didn't like the result at mild cruise, Also, being able to consult the observer and hear signals without issue also adds the the safe experience for everyone However if it were invertaflow quiet, i just couldn't take it !

Baller 6balls Posted April 9, 2020 Baller Share Posted April 9, 2020 I love music, but I turn it off driving...it's a distraction. If I'm at an idle and putt putt around the lake...some SRV is great. When I was a teen, I would totally amp in my car until it was my turn to ski...volume cranked up, hyperventilated(Guns, ACDC, Zeppelin, Talking Heads for sure)...just like a comp bench press set. I'm sure folks thought I was nuts...drivers too when I took them clean out of the course on 2 and 4. Perfect pass: Driver "What's your weight son?" Me: "275". Driver: "No way". Me: "Do you want to run the time or not? Put in 275?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
