I've never tried, but I can tell you that an idiot who cut me off as i was in mid air (small little single) caused us both to smack the ground once I landed.... and yes he did have ear phones in :roll: :x

i dont listen to music while riding because i believe it causes a distraction. When you race dirtbikes competitively, and you are playing music, you are not worried about the other riders and your own bike. If i was just trail riding, i would still rather hear my dirtbike hauling ass down some trails....

thats funny because thats what i do. i dont listen to the song 5 times before i go. but usually i get a certain song in my head while i ride and it actually puts me in the zone. i have like 2 main songs that flow well with me stuck in my head while i ride

I do when I practice. I honestly think it helps me. I don't see how it could be a distraction unless you are skipping tracks on your ipod over triples or something. lol It's like listening to the radio in your car.

i might just try this, ill probably mount some headphones into my helmet. i do this skiing with earphones and man it is awesome!!! i forgot to say that.
its not like you have to have the ipod cranked up so you cant hear anything else. but it would have to be pretty loud to hear along with the engine of your bike...hmm
