get some that wrap around the back of your head, i think you can pick em up for like 20bucks at bestbuy. remember to run the chord through your shirt or you'll end up eating those up quick too. ;P goodluck.

I just got some skull candy ear buds that stick in your ear really well and keep a lot of outside noise out because of the design of the earpeice. The sound quality is really good for ear buds and they cost about $25. I'd also suggest the headphones above or some of that type.

The $15 Skull Candy ear buds that they sell at Target work pretty well.

Get in ear headphones. I have these marshmellow things I think JBL makes them, you'll never go back to apple headphones. The bad thing is that in ear headphones block out pretty much all sound.

i freakin hate mine. every movement of the cord, and you can hear it. it gets so freakin annoying if youre just walking youll hear random thumps with your music from the cord being moved. would not recommend for sliding.

I couldnt even imagine sliding with my ipod cause of the slams and lack of space to store it. Where do you stash your music at when you slide?

Genuine Sennheiser CX300 CX 300 earphone White MP3 CD - eBay (item 320247526844 end time May-05-08 19:10:00 PDT)

Those are my headphones of choice. Best sound quality I have ever heard in headphones, regardless of the price. They retail at 90 and on ebay you can almost always win the auction for less than 20. Get them. You won't be sorry.

I'm fine with the rattling of my wheels and the awes from the crowd!

Ok fine, so I'm scared shitless use an MP3 player while sliding after bailing because of the MP3 player being pulled out of my pocket while drop kneeing and continuing to nearly get caught up in my wheels. But I'll borrow my brothers set of SC ear plugs that you recommend. I do though remember the Koss version of those got ruined pretty quickly ... and started to smell pretty wile ...
