When something is galvanized, it is reinforced and powerful. The following songs made it easy for me to get in the zone. Easy to crouch down low and thrust my legs out to each side of me while my arms pumped back and forth in the opposite direction.
I wound down from my skating workout listening to Get a Shot of the Refrigerator by Stereolab off of Fab Four Suture. My cool down consisted of the “drunken sailor” drill all the way down First Street and up Orizaba to Broadway. Drunken sailor is when you cross one leg over the other and try to keep moving forward without falling down.
Prior to cool down I skated and danced my little heart out on the Long Beach Boardwalk listening to the following tunes: (all links go to iTunes)
Banquet by Bloc Party off of Promo Only Canada Modern Rock Radio
Tuning In by Groove Armada off of Love Box [UK]
Home of the Brave by Naked Raygun off of All Rise
Halfway Home (feat. Blackalicious) by DJ Shadow off In Tune and On Time
Potential Rapist by Naked Raygun off Basement Screams
Looking Down the Barrell of a Gun by The Beastie Boys of of Paul’s Boutique
Yeah by the Heavy Off the Richter compilation
The Girls Say by Groove Armada off Soundboy Rock
