Gretchen Bleiler's Favorite Halfpipe Jams

Not only is Gretchen Bleiler easy on the eyes, but she's also pretty maniacal on the halfpipe! Maybe you've seen her tear it up at the X Games or the Winter Dew Tour Superpipe or this tiny international sporting competition called the Vancouver Winter Olympics? Yeah, no big deal, right?

We were wondering what gets Bleiler hyped up before she's about to drop in the pipe, and she was happy to provide us with a bitchin' playlist. "I like a good mix of genres, and it's all about the beat of the song that fires me up or grounds me," explains Bleiler. "I love songs with a lot of confidence."

Included on her personal MP3 device are the tracks "It's Bigger Than Hip-Hop" by Dead Prez, "Your Voice" by Stiffed, "Session" by The Offspring, "Hurricane" by Bob Dylan, "Watch Out Now" by Beatnuts and "Da Booty" by A Tribe Called Quest.

We couldn't think of a more diverse list of tuneage. For more songs that meet Bleiler's stamp of shredding approval, check out the clips below.

Oh, and if you're interested in having Bleiler be your mentor for a radtastic summer internship, hoof it over to Old Spice Adventure for the skinny!

The Strokes, "Heart In A Cage"

Run-DMC, "It's Like That"
