apart from the lines singing i tent to listen to a bit of sum 41 to get the adrenaline pumping

just a curious thought while i was out the other day scudding across my local park whilst listening to "still waiting" by sum 41

do you find that cirtin music helps you fly better or do more daring things? or just relaxes you ... or is there any music that makes you instantly think of flying

The lines singing is the best music along with the waves crashing in the background.

I haven't ploped my but into the seat of a buggy yet, but I would imagine the music would be the same that I listen to when I go on a motorcycle ride.
That typcially ends up being;

Disturbed
Powerman 5000
Prodigy
Mortal Combat Sountrack

I'm a huge music lover but I want the serenity when I'm flying. I've never even thought about strapping on the ipod. I guess I could try it but I'm not sure what I'd want to listen to. Like Speleo, I like to hear the noises the kite makes along with the roar of the wind.

I have tried to listen to music when I fly, but like BeamerBob, I enjoy the serenity. The wind blowing, the lines whistling in the breeze. For audible pleasure, I think I get the most enjoyment of flying the big kites in low wind and doing a low swoop along the ground and to hear them whish across the horizon. I just love that sound.

Agreed. You are really thinking to much about the kite, how fast your moving, whats ahead of you, whats behind you, whats above you, etc. to really notice any music.

However, Architecture in Helsinki's Fingers Crossed and In Case We Die are my kiting albums. They were when I first started, and its become a ritual at this point. Its what I put in the stereo while I drive to the beach, at least.
