Free by Chris Madin (Theme of Sonic Free Riders)

[FicticiousAnimation]

I listened to a version of this and I didn't know which one at the time. I didn't realize there were different versions of it, so I just assumed Crush 40 performed the song. Several months later, which is now, when I wanted to hear the song again I typed in "Free Crush 40" and I enjoyed the song. Then I saw this and I was like "There's another version?" then I realized that this version is SOOO much better than the Crush 40 version. Nice work Chris Madin, and thanks for uploading BlackBlur7!

[tokyopop11221]

Is rthe guy that sang all of me

[xrbv96]

its better the crush 40 version, more loud

[reedkutcher]

This music is SOOOOOOOOOO good!

[mjlatham23]

Excellent!!!!

[RachetRiolu]

This is the best song to do speed runs to in Sonic Generations. It's fucking awesome. I wish it had the entire song in the game.

[Yorukin]

Still don't know why they couldn't release this game as WiiWare for the Wii Fit Board...

[WeeAddy31]

@Yorukin BEcause...

1) It's a full body motion controlled game, it could be argues it should be on PSN for PSN Move to but it's not, it's KINECT exclusive, unlucky.

2) You SHOULDN'T jump on the balance board, the game requires you to jump and spin and all this crap, and the balance board doesn't want you doing that.

[macaroni11101]

Ever since I unlocked the song in Generations, I keep humming this song XD

[twisterkid99]

@macaroni11101 I'm not sure why, but I can't stop myself from playing it on the Egg Dragoon fight...

[SonicSuperBoom1]

on the pic knuckles looks like a collectable

[SonicSuperBoom1]

on the pic knuckles looks like a collectable

[BreeTheV]

Definitely love this song, and the ending is perfect. It's like that moment when you open your arms wide and you just breathe in deeply your liberation. It's like... finally getting out on the last day of school. This song totally describes freedom.

[sebastien12364]

14 people love the crush 40 version better....*click dislike*

[Shadow7324]

14 like crush 40 version which is better but if not they r trapped

[BlaidHedgehog117]

For some reason to me, This song goes great with the Time Eater boss battle. Just, the thought of kicking Egg-Head ass as two Sonic's, this theme playing, flying through as super sonic just sends a shiver down my spine

[lidaboy]

@BlaidHedgehog117 i play this song on spd hghway modern

[BlaidHedgehog117]

@lidaboy Sweet.

[VenomLeon]

@BlaidHedgehog117 Used this soundtrack several times against Time Eater! EPIC

[tigerfan412]

it sounds like WHY DOES KINECT COST SO DA** MUCH?

[mariomaker2000]

this song defines me. i enjoy to be free and to be me

[lilytheracoon820]

The Crush 40 version of this song is FAR superior to this version. FAR SUPERIOR!

[ImmaBritannian]

@lilytheracoon820 you trollin' bro?

[Shadakaa]

If those 14 people aren't free how much are they? LOLJOKES, that was sad.

Abyways, love this song to death, man.

[SonicMusicofAwesome]

14 people are still trapped...

[DarkSonicSrb2]

the song is amazing, the game itself would be alot better if they let u play it with different controls.

[shelby4369]

OH GOD STOP!!!!!! it's pure assault it's what it is!!

-AngryJoeShow

[brucewayne264]

@shelby4369 this has got to be the best review he has ever done. EVERYTHING in this game is BROKEN! EVERYTHING. and also i died when he wiped his ass on the memo

[shelby4369]

@brucewayne264 he didn't just wiped his ass with it

HE TOOK IT AND WIPED HIS FUCKIN ASS WITH IT AND JUST THREW IT IN OUR FACE!!!!!!!!!

[christ7warrior3]

this versions better

[chibirobo99999]

The first line is "Falling Free in the wind."

Does this mean Sonic is Free Falling?

[pappflora12]

@chibirobo99999

let's just hope he...:

a, ...drank a lot of milk so he won't break his bones(that much).

b, ...has a parachute.

[mariofan105]

best part of free riders

[colorfulwolf1]

ooo i love this song o i love this song

[sonicboom123456]

Ah I love this music. Shame about the game itself though.

[sonic123456789]

schools out im FREEEEEEEEEEEE

[christ7warrior3]

@sonic123456789 ...for about a week from now >_< im so sad lol

[sonic123456789]

@christ7warrior3 me to

[52hoovatx]

I love this song so much

[Ninathehedgehog]

12 people never escaped.

[VenomLeon]

I KNOW that Nintendo uses a different concept when it comes to Mario games, but you'll never hear a soundtrack like this in them! ^^

Cant get en0:00ugh!

[stickguy703]

@VenomLeon Main thing is that this sort of music doesn't fit Mario. His games are more for those in look for nostalgia, While Sonic's cool and young attitude allow him to have music like this in his games. Both series still have amazing music.

[jaopdro]

12 people are not free

212 people (including me) are free to fly in the wind at any time

[hypemiitrudog07]

100 people thought this game was free

[ridingwithsonic]

12 people cant keep up

[ZombieCrazy100]

6 People are In Jail ( Pun of CrashbandicootJakfan1994's Comment's)

[Manuredable]

12 people are not free

[RedSpeedTails]

@Manuredable la escuela acabara no soy libre ahora pero im going to be free in the wind :D

[ZombieCrazy100]

@Manuredable they had wi fi on jail

[MetalBru01]

@Manuredable not funny....try again.

[AMTModollas]

Why is the instrumental to the theme song not like this one? Is there one of this?

[yoyomantebest]

I'm falling freeeeeee :D... wait... OH SH-... Still like the song though :)

[Docamok1]

This version is better than the crush 40 version

[JunAres02]

Not too bad, but I still prefer the Crush 40 version. Something about this just feels a bit off to me...

[AMTModollas]

Why does Crush 40 always have to make their version of sonic game songs? Why dont they actually focus on coming up with their own music?

[Mitarashiboi]

Honestly love this version better though Crush 40's was alright. Sonic Rider games were never really...rock though. More towards techno.

[EnigmaKorn]

Blackblur7 you are like my fav person for this awesome sega music thumbs up if you agree

[EnigmaKorn]

@EnigmaKorn i never knew i could reply to my own comment this is fun LOL

[Zdude3255]

@TheBatboyofDarkness, No... YOU'RE SHIT!

[SuperMagicUnderwear]

My initial thoughts: Great musical intro. The singing... eeeeeeeh...

Toward the end: Yeah, I can listen to this. Instrumental still kicks ass though.

[poloflipx]

10 People immediately fall downwards when trying to be free in the wind.

[ParaSky100]

10 people don't have kinect.

[samreborn277]

Epic song

[gamerteenps3360]

this is good but i perfer the crush 40 version.

[cb19882000]

why is kinect a piece of shit piece of shit

it really is a wii rip off wii ripoff

[ParaSky100]

@cb19882000

Uhh, Move is the rip off.

[cb19882000]

@ParaSky100 i think ill stick with my wii lol to be truthful i dont which is the ripoff

[thesimsfan12]

@cb19882000 Woah Woah Woah..

How is the Kinect a rip off of the Wii..

I mean if the Wii uses your whole body as a controller then yeah it's ripping it off but the Wii doesn't do that..

It uses 2 controllers same as the PS3 Move (Which copied it and is actually more accurate)

Also you have a s-s-st-t-t-tutter problem.. (aka you didn't need to say the same thing twice)

[cb19882000]

@thesimsfan12 i was singing the song actually also i should be glad because that means that the next thing from nintendo will be even awesomer

[MARI06OO]

@thesimsfan12 not to argue but kinect copyed ps2 eye toy

[EnigmaKorn]

@MARI06OO its about time some one else thinks that and eye toy acualy took pics so you could see your self

[MARI06OO]

@EnigmaKorn was that a sarcastic comnet becase it aculy dose

[thesimsfan12]

@MARI06OO No they didn't

PS2 Eye Toy was more like a Web Cam.. (You could even connect it to your Computer and use it as a Web Cam)

The Eye Toy could only recognise one person at a time..

Kinect is a lot more Advanced

Not only does it detect your movement but it even tracks your body (EyeToy can't do that)

You can control your Xbox with your voice (again EyeToy can't do that)

It recognises two people at once (EyeToy can't do it :P)

so yeah say Kinect ripped off a webcam and made it better.

[lidaboy]

@thesimsfan12 don't diss Itoy Yuji Naka contributed to making it now you wouldn't want to diss the creation that the creator of sonic made do you?

[thesimsfan12]

@MARI06OO When the PS Move ripped off the WiiMote and guess what it's just the same damn thing..

Also Kinect has sold a lot more than the PS Move 8 million more to be precise.. :P

Move = Failure

Kinect = Success..

[MARI06OO]

@thesimsfan12 and the wii mote ripped off the dreamcast motion controller now didnt it

[shrapnelmaster117]

@thesimsfan12 while the move did rip off the wii, and the kinect is much better, the move is better than the wiimotes in every way except for price and the fact that it looks like a dildo, lol nintendo just needs to keep up

[eddylugia]

good song, but SEGA has to create a patch for the crappy controls.

If they will do, maybe I'll buy a Kinect

[Animus69]

This version is more breathy than the Crush 40 version, makes you have a sense of being in the air, imo.

Which I find more appropriate.

I love both versions, don't get me wrong, but this one is the true theme to me.

-----

THIS IS MY OWN OPINION, AND YOU HAVE YOUR OWN!

I RESPECT YOURS, COULD YOU PLEASE RESPECT MINE?

in b4 "CRUSH 40'S VERSION IS BETTER YOU IDIOT THIS IS SHIT AND YOUR MOM PLAYS CARD GAMES IN HELL!"

:V

[chcoman123]

BOTH VERSIONS ARE GOOD! GET OVER IT!

[theirkeninvader]

Yeah, I don't get why everyone likes the Crush 40 version better...That one sounded a bit whiny and almost hurt my ears. I think the voice in this one is more...I don't know, smooth? But it's certainly more enjoyable to listen to.

[TheDarkDuck93]

This song is so strange. At first I really, really hated the song.

The often I heard it the more I liked it.... Strange...

I still wished for a metal or punkrock version!

[RonthisTW]

MY EARS!!!

But seriously, it's a great song. But Chris really executed it badly, Crush 40's version is quite a bit better.

[TheBeybladeFTW]

@RonthisTW Crush 40's version sucks it made me wanna kill a puppy,but i didnt

[SilverFanatic1]

9 people feel constrained, refrained, ashamed, and most certainly, to blame.

[seniron]

Aiyaiyai... I don't have either an xbox or kinect... Sonic games are multi-platform so it's hard to keep track of each and every all of them.. not to mention the money needed to biy those platforms! I'm sad! TT^TT

[TheRandomnessx7]

IM FREE TO BE ME

[supersonicultra]

8 people had sex with there moms and liked it  : (

[DollySonicFanGirl12]

@supersonicultra & they're 9 now

[TheDrKai]

7 people were given a nintendo in 1986 :P

[SonicForBrawl101]

@LuigiRockz230 no, 143 ppl listen to music XD

[tfhkyoshi]

Oh, you have uploaded it. :P sorry about that

[nikeman333]

the ending of this song is the best!

[tfhkyoshi]

You should upload the Crush 40 version of this song as well. :D

[animeloverfan1010]

Some people say to me: why don't you listen to real music when i am listing to sonic songs and i tell them it is real music. or else it wouldn't exist right?

[SonicForBrawl101]

@animeloverfan1010 well, yeah. nothin wrong with sonic music.

better than most of the crap out today...

[HsIeNRaE]

@animeloverfan1010 Ask them to define real music.

[DansukeTheHedgehog]

of course there are good and bad sonic games, but even in the worst games (with notable exceptions of course) have epic music! :D

[blazehenry1]

Thanks for the help you guys and it is not possible to make a game worse than sonic06.Sonic06 is like a low budget beta of a beta if you have time to put in the manual that something wasn't programmed right dont fucking do it. We all new Jason Griffith sucked but guess what we did,we said "Sonic worst voice actor since Eurkel is in this. Oh fucking well I'll just ignore it and play the damn game. So quit bashing Griffith

[zomgitzakitteh]

ive been a sonic fan since i was born, and after the game "SONIC THE HEDGEHOG"

where in the secret rnding he said "lets show these creeps the real super power of teamwork!" From then on it was all down hill. all the next few sonic games sucked (change of voice actors, lines only 2 year olds would say, and the glitchiest systems ive EVER seen). and i can honestly say SONIC FREE RIDERS is the GREATEST comback in the history of game franchises. this makes up for all the years of disapointment. :)

[UltamiteMasterHand]

Let's all just grab a hoverboard & go for a ride anywhere

[blazehenry1]

How do I get these songs on my iPod. The only Sonic song I've found on iTunes is So Much More by Bentley Jones. Please help me.

[Kongumon]

@blazehenry1 Use video 2mp3.net <---remove the space

Copy and paste this videos URL and the site will turn it into an MP3 for you.

[KazeRyu]

@Kongumon Or download it here...since you can in the details of this vid. black blur gives you that option on most of this soundtrack vids. :O

[judistand510]

Hello, I love the video and I am your larger fan!

[judistand510]

It is still brilliant to see because I am very impressed by your music and I will like that you give them so that I will sing a little!

[judistand510]

I printed all the possible words so that I involve myself to sing and that I improve even more!

[judistand510]

That's the pretty cool music ! I love when you put and I recognize that it is too fun!

Oh yeah !

[TheGameplayer3000]

This song is so awesome!!!

[SonicGamer1991]

Crush 40 Version is better by all means! Crush 40 for life!

[Speeder109]

this game proved kinnect needs some work from what ive seen. If this game was on wii, even my new sonic game hating friend would agree it wouldnt be that bad. And this theme isnt that bad

[6ryan4]

For being such a suckish game, it's got a good theme song. Oh! Just like Sonic '06! :D

[penguinthing777]

@6ryan4 ...no. NO game sega could ever release will ever be as bad as 06. free riders has a learning curve, its not broken. but ur right about the theme, it ROCKS!

[NO1CRAZY]

@penguinthing777 I always thought so , too . 06 sucked .

[sonic7789]

6 people who dislike the vid dont feel free but who cares

[sonic7789]

6 people dont feel free

[BreakerTheHedgehog]

Nice Song =)

1 Question: I wanted to buy Kinect and the game ,but i'm living in a old house were you can hear every step, and i do not want trouble with my neighbours.

Do you think that its possible to play this game without getting trouble with my neighbours?

[sondowultimate]

This Song is badass

[MrBWAAAAAA]

If only Sonic Riders music makes up for their games

[Wazson8]

i dont see why everyone thinks the crush 40 version shits on this one this is pretty good too

[sonicangel15]

@Wazson8 There's a Crush 40 version for this song?

[Wazson8]

@sonicangel15 yeah they came out with their version kinda recently

[CrashJakFan1994]

6 people are not free

[MrPetersonic100]

why does it have to be only in xbox360, why not ps3 too :/

[Melkac]

@MrPetersonic100 How you will play it in a PS3?

[MrPetersonic100]

@Melkac oh yeah you're right!!!! -_-

[NeoSasuke45]

@MrPetersonic100

See the thing in the top right corner of the game case?

That's 360 exclusive.

[MrPetersonic100]

@MrPetersonic100 oh yeah you're right O_o

[xXdark6master6zeroXx]

crush 40 is better, but this kick ass too :D

[OctaviusheBlazekid]

They fucked over everyone who had Wii.Even though Zero G wasn't all that good,But I have both original Sonic Riders.

[jouchikitsune]

@OctaviusheBlazekid  yeah but sonic colors fucked everyone over on xbox360 and ps3

[gameguywoopwoop]

6 people can't break out. They're constrained, but we're FREE!

[Blackcloud288]

This song's by Jun and Johnny, Crush 40!

I dunno where you got Chris Madin; he just performed it.

[pikespendragon67]

@Blackcloud288 In the title, it means who performed the song

[sonicfan167]

6 People Think every Sonic game needs to have a theme song sung by Crush 40 for it to be good.

[277sonic]

@sonicfan167 I feel the same way why does everyone feel that Crush 40 need to sing the theme songs. Alot of people say that oh Crush 40 should do an endless possiblity cover. That's CRAZY!!!!! Another is Reach for the stars n that's not gonna work because that song is Techno music and Crush 40 is all about rock they might mess up the song like they did with their ungravtify cover in my opinion.

[ggarciaEdits]

I feel sorry for the 5 dopes who aren't free.

[MrSonic5]

5 people arnt free

[TehPokeRizzle987]

FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­E

[MynameisP57]

I'm glad the entirety of the Sonic characters got new voices (except Eggman, which I can understand, because he's fine the way he is! =D), but Jet... JET IS AS HORRIBLE AS EVER. His voice is SO unfitting, it's like a nerd possessed him or something! His voice is nasally as frack! Oh, well. The rest of the new cast is awesome! Sonic's voice may be deep, but it fits anyway because he IS growing up.

[AwesomeSauce74]

This game just makes me sick...No, not because the last million sonic games sucked ass. Just because Kinect is SUCH a big rip off of the Wii. Seriously. You got all these PS3 and XBOX360 message boards claiming that they have the better system yet they're ripping off the Wii. Oh, video game market...How I pity your consumers.

[S0hio]

@AwesomeSauce74 Actually its not. See Kinect was offered to Nintendo, but it was a dodgey prototype. Nintendo didnt think and turned it down and went with their own crappy idea, then when Kinect went better The X-Box guys got offered it, and they accepted, later it was perfect, and now it is released.

[AwesomeSauce74]

@S0hio

Well, the Wii has their shitty balance board and the Xbox has their irresponsive Kinect. There's very little freedom with your movements using these peripherals. I wouldn't really call Kinect perfect as much as I'd call it more responsive than a Virtual Boy's "Virtual Reality."

[S0hio]

@AwesomeSauce74 Especially if you have items lying around the house. But that has nothing to do with my previous comment.

[ArceusAvenger]

\you do know this Song Sucks Ass, Because the Motion Sensing is too sensitive, and when you Reach your hand to get rings 9/10 times you will actually turn instead of reaching out

[ZakTheHedgehog]

@ArceusAvenger

I fail to see how that renders the song stupid, but hey it's all a sense of taste. Some people enjoy flailing around to ride a hover board.

[LuLuSonic14]

they said free 25 times

[EXstormDragon]

@LuLuSonic14 Hence the name of the song.

[DollySonicFanGirl12]

@LuLuSonic14 no,they said it 24 times

[LuLuSonic14]

@DollySonicFanGirl12 sorry i cant count :L

[98SonicFan]

@PokemonKid100 HECK YEA! PUT IT ON WII SEGA!

[Reshiram643]

3 people are still thinking every sonic game that will ever be made will suck.

[SonicAnimeStudios]

@Reshiram643 Make that 4 now at the time I checked. 12/1/10

[DollySonicFanGirl12]

@Reshiram643 you mean 4 right?

[sonicangel15]

@Reshiram643 If those 3 people think that way that's their loss, not ours.

[gamer39985]

@Reshiram643 thats sooo true

[AngelWingsChidori]

@Reshiram643 + 4

[SuperSonic68]

@Reshiram643 Make that 8

[DollySonicFanGirl12]

@Reshiram643 i thought  you meant 9

[BlueBoboDoo100]

alright! Crush 40 just announced that they're doin a version of this for the Sonic Free Riders album!

[rajend8]

if this was ever ported to wii u would need the wii remote, nunchuk, and wii balance board =3

[Sanbonita1]

@rajend8 Maybe just the balance board cause remember its "FREE" so you'd just be moving in all directions without the remote and nunchuck.

[sonicfan167]

@Sanbonita1 How would Put your Arms left right and up to get rings? Do Tricks? Speed boost?

[SaxonicDhedgeog]

@sonicfan167 Wii Motion Plus would work for moving your arms in all directions......and just take one foot off the Wii balance board for a boost and air tricks? lol I don't know.

[Sanbonita1]

@sonicfan167 Oh.Totally forgot about that.Guess you DO need the remote and nunchuck. -_-

[megatj5]

@rajend8 at least then i'd finally have a use for the damn thing

[n2oshotandironman]

@rajend8 ...Ok... Got it... and still cheaper than Kinect and ton more games too ^_^

[chrisall76]

@rajend8 no,the wii blance bourdhas things that can sence where you are moving.
