This all depends on: - when for fun, I choose something that fits to how I want to fly at the time - when for the public, I choose something appealing to them, usually not my competition music - when for the competition, I choose something that allows me to show all what I can do with a REV and is appealing to the judges So, it could be any or all that you mention.

kitecowboy Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Music while flying drives me crazy, I would really like to cut the speaker wires during the festivals. I understand the need for it during the performances and enjoy most songs that work well with the flying. But my enjoyment of listening to the world around me makes it VERY difficult for me to find a song or even style of music that i feel i could fly to. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has this issue, anyone else that does should let me know what they do to find music they can fly too.

mbro Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I'm old school classic rock... I like Pink Floyd when I'm flying!!!! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmeek Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Like KC, I don't like music when I fly, but then, I don't like music when I'm doing almost anything else. When I listen to music, that's ALL I do. Any other time it is just annoying noise. I can accept and enjoy music when it is part of something else (like ballet -- kite or regular), but NEVER as background. Stick to yer guns KC; if you don't want to fly to music, don't do it. (But be a nice guy at festivals; don't cut the wires. Just move to the quiet end of the park if you can.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windpoacher Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I listen to a mixture, EVERYTHING from Mozart to Heavy Metal, usually in a random fasion !!! ........... .... ..... ........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbro Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 @Wayne,What do you listen to? I should back-up and say I listen to a mixture as well, not just PF, but I do listen when flying! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portlandflyer Posted February 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Well, I got an Ipod shuffle for Xmas! Had to do the Itunes thing to get the drivers for it, but was able to convert a lot of music my son had for another device!! I like to put it on shuffle mode and let the songs just happen!! Metallica, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Evanesence, Clapton, Alice Cooper, etc; lots of old school rock!!! KC - if you listen to your own, you can't hear the festivals music!!! I'm ducking.......... NOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrunya Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 What I listen to depends a lot on whats going on. If the wind is light, and I'm out on the beach by myself, I'll put on Breeze by Sterio MC's. Relaxed with a good beat. If I'm out on the competition field, I use I feel Good by James Brown. If I'm with some friends, often playing rough, I'll listen to Pendulum or some mixes by DJ EvenflO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JynxKites Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 My kids gave me an MP3 (and Studio headset) for Christmas a few years ago... I wondered how much use I'd get out of it... I normally flew void of music... I added tunes... and now I wonder whether it's the flying or the music I love the most!? For sure I love the combination! I listen to just about everything, short of hip-hop and heavy metal. My son is an artist and in a band so I listen to his music too, but... Floyd is, and always will be, my favorite! The music, along with the flying, takes me to another place! ...I like that place!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerochic Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 But my enjoyment of listening to the world around me makes it VERY difficult for me to find a song or even style of music that i feel i could fly to. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has this issue, anyone else that does should let me know what they do to find music they can fly too. I hear ya, Cowboy. Half of the time I prefer no music when I fly because I just like to enjoy the sounds of nature around me. I don't have a real problem with festival music, but I do listen to a zillion kinds of music styles. When I fly to music I usually just put my music player on shuffle and see what happens. I've found music helps hone my flying skills at times. Really depends of what kind of mood I'm in when I go out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne, Kiting has actually made me branch out some on the types of music I liked. When I first got into kiting, I was listening to Moody blues, Led Zepplin, Santana- Music of that time period and some of the newer country songs of the 90's. Since then I have tried and enjoyed kiting while listening to Jazz, blues, Kenny G, Flutes, etc ----------Warning -These are not for high wind days - You will get so lulled out you can't react fast enough to keep up with the kite.

Baloo Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm Simon, Frogs Chorus, wha a classic, especially the way TFS fly to it. My music, I just load all the stuff I have onto a player and get it to shuffle. Yes I know that is a lazy way of doing it but it works for me.
