Hi guys. I just wanted to start a discussion about music and fingerboarding. What type of music do you guys like to listen to while seshng? What type of music gets you guys wanting to sesh and that sort of thing. Also, im starting to produce films now, so what music in videos do think sets a cool tone for a video?

I personaly loooveee some chill stuff when on the computer. such as "Hammock"
For fingerboarding I like upbeat stuff like "Future Islands" or "The Submarines"
For editing I would reccomend chillstep songs. look up 'Aether Makeshift sancuary" For another great one for that kind of serious indoor dark room kinda feel.

Ermahgerd awesome old stuff like the police and pink floyd
Bombay bicycle club
Ratatat
Motley Crue
Trooper
STRFKR
The who
Walk the moon
TJR
OK go
MGMT
The Killers
Kaskade
Florence+the machine
The clash specifically the magnificent seven

Thats my selection of sesh and favourite music
new and old its pretty awesome in my opinion

great thread. cuz of you I've been listening to yankee foxtrot by Wilco, but other than that i'm on a big black flag, sonic youth, merzbow, northern soul, the pentangle and john fahey kick.

Do agree with that upbeat stuff. I need that feeling of adrenaline.

the electric moon lp that mikkel posted is great too.

Legend goes that when I listen to dubstep I can land tricks...

Definately chill songs, laid back. But it depends on it i'm trying to get a trick or film

Sometimes, no music at all.

Depends, for sure. I think for a song the best way to go is one with lots of drums (and bass) that way when you stomp a trick, you can put it to the beat.

My opinions! Here are some good artists as well


Gold Panda
Beach Fossils
Nightmares On Wax
PANTyRAID

dropkick murphys
flatfoot 56
streetlight manifesto
the distillers
rancid
spinnerette
casualties
bouncing souls
slayer
us bombs

slayer
sabbath
the stones
lots of punk rock peppered with some old metal and classic stuff.

I like to listen to;
Let the bodies hit the floor

It gets my tech deck juices flowing!




In all seriousness though, no diggity by blackstreet makes me want to sesh, aha.

Currently on my Fingerboarding playlist...

Justice
George Watsky
Lana Del Ray
Peter Gabriel (mine and Kat's first dance song; been prepping for our one year edit )
Hard-Fi
Peter Bjorn
Dinosaur Jr
The John Spencer Blues Explosion
RJD2
Dialect
Fitz and the Tantrums
Mistabishi
Ocean Colour Scene
Paul Weller
Smashing Pumpkins
Static-X

When I'm filming I tend to just listen to the song I'm gonna use on repeat so that I can really get into it. Tends to spark editing ideas too. And as for choice of song, I think it should bring out something of your personality, rather than just be cool. If it's overused, who cares, it's you. If no one's ever heard it, who cares? Be stoked you get to share music no one's heard. I keep using a local rap group just cos I love their music

andrew bird

I really don't listen to music much while fingerboarding
But when I do it's mostly Black Sabbath or Gangnam Style

I listen to any music I like when seshing, as long as I like the music I enjoy fingerboarding to it. I guess if it's heavy then I ride faster, haha

OFWGKTA
Wiz Khalifa
A$AP Rocky
Tupac
Biggie
Kendrick Lamar

I love this kind of stuff its so chill and calming <3

i can't get enough of this song, too bad the Witchcraft albums after the s/t are so lackluster.

I get most of my chillstep from that channel. Soooo goood.

Yeah that channel i very nice! I get like 95% of my songs from there

I don't like music much, but dubstep is what I would listen to, but I find silence perfect. When I edit music into a video, it will be dubstep. Maybe a really chilled song if the session was but whatever.

Misfits
Starfucker
Neon Indian
The Smiths
The Cure
Gold Panda
Black moth
Black flag
Slapshot
White Arrows
