Can anyone recommend some artists for snowboarding?
DO you have any playlists or artists in particular you listen to while doing extreme sports like snowboarding or mountain biking (does anyone on here do that?) Can you recommend some energy pumping tracks?

I find this a very subjective thing.
When I'm boarding I'll listen to all sorts, from Morricone film soundtracks to rock tracks. It depends on what you're doing I suppose, if you're tanking down a run, going for maximum speed, then yeah sort out some 'energy pumping tracks'. If you're on a run with long sweeping turns then maybe you want something a bit more laid back.
This, always.

I have never been Snowboarding or Skiiiiing ever
but I tell you what watching the snowboarding on the Exxxtreme Sports SKY channel with the bad ska punk in the background is like going to the happy place innit. Really takes the edge off.
I have a playlist on my ipod with tracks from snowboard films.
Whitelines has a good directory of soundtracks for most snowboard films. Have been introduced to people like Beulah and Exploding Hearts through it
D n B!
When mountain biking i find ridiculously over the top drum + bass makes me ride like a nutter. Black Sun Empire ft State of Mind-Sandbag is my current favourite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xe7LtsfuCk
I'm very anti listening to music when boarding (unless you're in the park/halfpipe)
Really dangerous to those around you and yourself: I rely on my hearing as much as my sight to be aware of what's going on around me.
That's my old-man lecture for today. Cheers.
