If J.C. changes his name to 'Allah' there'll be a Fatwa (death sentence handed down by fundamentalist Islamic Mullahs) on his ass in a week and that will be it.

How 'bout "Act like the professional you supposedly are and don't post this all over the place ****ting up our forums"!

Honestly if you work for the Discover Channel / Fit TV productions and you need to go spam an internet forum to get song titles you need some serious help. You're lucky I'm not you're boss, cause I'd be pissed.

"Riders on the Storm" is a good suggestion.

I'll pitch a slightly two more intense tunes.

Hocus-Pocusby the group Focus has a lot of energy, drama (and even a little bit of yodeling to evoke mental images of the Alps!) - gives lots of natural opportunities to segue between short clips.

The other - quite a bit more modern: It's My Life by Bon Jovi - has a driving beat and lyrics that could fit with the topic.

"To Be The One" by Idaho.

I'm a big Idaho fan and this particular song just has a natural cycling rhythm to it. The lyrics seem pretty apt too.

*shameless plug alert* My band Fey Ray also has a few songs that might work. "All Mixed Up Under A Tree" has a long, building instrumental intro that could be cool as opening music.

How could I have forgotten this last night? "Higher Ground" by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers! Great for higher cadence climbing.

I can make one.

Something fresh (drum-n-bass, electronica, techno-y, pop) - like you hear on the car commercials.






That is if the price *cough"new bike"cough* is right.

this gets my vote.

I can do anything
I can be crowned a king
It’s my time now
To play the beautiful game

Something inside of me
Won’t take them long to see
I’ve kept my vows
Things will never be the same

Closer now, in the sun I wanna stay
’Til those memories are burning
And broken times couldn’t mean more than today
I’m giving everything I’ve got now
To make them remember my name
I’m giving everything I’ve got now
To play the beautiful game

Up on my feet again
Kissing away the pain
It’s my time now
To taste this beautiful game
A new sense of urgency
Floods me internally
To show them how
Things will never be the same

Shining down, there’s a light in front of me
Help me find what I’ve been wanting
Not so far from the world I wanna see
I’m giving everything I got now
To make them remember my name
I’m giving everything I got now
To play the beautiful game

Just went and looked up the webisodes under discussion. I only see them in broken-up small bits because of my DSL-lite connection, but what I saw looked very nice as far as production values, graphics, choice of music (lots of different music, it seems). I found the actual content interesting also.
