Kynan1 0 #26 August 31, 2007 Is it me, or did songs with the word "fly" or "fall" in them get completely cheesy after AFF....ahah It's just too cliched. We get it, Jump...and you're jumping out of a plane...crazy! haha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikepall 0 #27 August 31, 2007 Get the Dial 7 cd. Cant really find it anywhere except ebay and amazon. Almost all the songs from Good Stuff came from this cd. No one would really think of them as skydiving songs unless you've seen the movie good stuff. And what skydiver hasntgreat cd! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Scatter- 0 #32 September 1, 2007 I always liked Falling is Like This by Ani Difranco The refrain goes: Its like you're trying to fight gravity On a planet that insists That love is like falling and Falling is like this Certainly better than your typical couple overused ones. How many times can you possibly hear Jump? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

regulator 0 #39 September 4, 2007 Everyone is always doing some song from 1984. (literally) How about 'The Deep End' by crossfade or Blow my away by Breaking Benjamin? But thats me...I like originality. I'm going off the deep end! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dpreguy 14 #46 April 29, 2018 "Hey Freak Brothers" by the Booze Brothers And, check out the songs in the movie "Skydive" ("I want to Skydive")and the main song in "Wings" movie. These are the only actual skydiving songs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesBond 0 #47 May 1, 2018 Now guys, please excuse my ignorance - but are these tracks that you might listen to whilst skydiving? I'm new to this sport, about to start my AFF in a few weeks, but have been wondering about this. Perhaps audio enthusiasts could confirm whether IEMs isolate sound well enough to withstand wind noise at exit/freefall. I imagine under the canopy wouldn't be an issue here at all. I have a feeling I'm going to feel quite silly for asking this.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drdm 2 #48 May 1, 2018 How on earth has nobody mentioned "Jump Around" by House of Pain? It even starts with "Pack it up, pack it in, let me begin..." Also, JamesBond, to answer your question - I'm still quite a newbie, but I think it's generally accepted that headphones while jumping is a bad idea. In addition to our visual altimeters, a lot of us use audible altimeters (it's a very important habit to always be aware of the reading on your wrist, but it's easy to get a little distracted when trying to nail that formation with your buddies or that freefly position you're trying for the first time, so a bit of backup is useful), and listening to music could easily get in the way of hearing those.

kat00 11 #49 May 1, 2018 here are a few edm songs that remind me of skydiving: Armin Van Buuren - Freefall https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tjxh5cCfCFs Krewella - Alive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-gYJBsln-w Cedric Gervais - Touch the sky https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBIBeTi9gk0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesBond 0 #50 May 2, 2018 Quote headphones while jumping is a bad idea Hmmm. I wonder if more experienced jumpers do jump to music. I imagine that tracks that one is very familiar with could actually help with timing - you know like "it's time to open the chute when the chorus kicks in" lol. As a noob, not contemplating doing this at all, and can see from what you say Dr DM that the distraction can be risky. Perhaps one day I'll be able to answer my own question Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
