Red Bull might be the driving force behind them not leaving.

I would ask the same question but with what if all the energy drinks left the sport

i think we would see someone like budweiser step up.
That would be hilarious. All these riders with their budweiser drink bottles on the podiums.

Yeah, I guess I don't get the what if here. It was announced at the beginning of the season that they'd signed a multi-year deal to sponsor the Supercross series.

If Monster left the sport, would that mean all monster sponsored riders would drink their water from a water bottle instead of from a monster bottle on the podium???

I feel the same way about Monster Energy as I do flat billed hats, tattoos, "black socks, black shoes, black shorts, black shirts, black hats, black hair", and piercings....I've over it....

Title of thread should be "SX" instead of "MX"

If i am not mistaken this summer is the Rockstar Energy Lucas Oils Nationals. Upon further review, it looks like Rockstar is just sponsoring certain races, like this weekend: " the Rockstar Energy Hangtown Classic"

Hansen beverages earnings last quarter were down something like 40%. At one point last week, it was the worst performing stock on the exchange

Honestly, the demographic for energy drinks fits SX and MX perfectly. If energy drinks can't make a business case of sponsoring SX, then soda companies and beer companies sure wouldn't find a business case at the same level as energy drinks.

I am pretty sure motocross and Supercross existed long before Monster Energy Drink, and would probably continue to exist if this particular company left.

Think the energy drinks must have really been a life line through the recession. I'm sure I heard somewhere that one of the guys that started Monster was legitimately into MX, rode or something.

Monster Energy is an energy drink, with a highly distinctive logo consisting of three claw marks forming an 'M'. Monster Energy was launched by Hansen Natural in 2002.[1]

Parts of this article (those related to this section) may no longer be up to date. Please update this article to reflect recent events or newly available information, and remove this template when finished. Please see the talk page for more information. (March 2010)

Marketed and distributed by Hansen Natural Corporation, a NASDAQ listed company of Corona, California. Though Monster Energy is not widely advertised in the media it receives a large amount of recognition from its sponsorship of various sporting events. Hansen Natural Corporation announced a distribution agreement with Anheuser-Busch in the U.S.[2] and Grupo Jumex in Mexico.[3] Hansen Natural Corporation has recently announced a distribution deal with PepsiCo Canada. On November 10, 2008, the distribution of Monster turned over to Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola United, and other Coca-Cola bottlers in many markets. Contracts with existing distributors were bought out in these markets. In late 2009 or early 2010 Monster Energy will expand their market and release their products to other countries including Germany. It is distributed in Australia by Schweppes as Coca-Cola Amatil manufactures Mother energy drink, which is an exclusive energy drink sold only in Australia and New Zealand.

Rockstar (or ROCKST★R) is an energy drink created in 2001 by Russell Weiner.[1] As of 2009 it was one of the leading energy drinks by sales, with 14% of the US market in 2008.[2] Rockstar is based in Las Vegas. Rockstar Energy Drink is available in fourteen different flavors, and in over twenty countries.

OverviewFounded in 2001 by Russell Goldencloud Weiner,[1] Rockstar launched into the fastest-growing segment of the US beverage market, energy drinks.[3] As well as featuring different ingredients, which it claimed were "scientifically formulated to speed the recovery time of those who lead active and exhausting lifestyles—from athletes to rock stars,"[4] Rockstar sought to differentiate itself from the market leader Red Bull by using a 16 oz can size (against Red Bull's 8 oz can) and marketing itself as "twice the size of Red Bull for the same price."[3]

By 2008, Rockstar was one of the top three energy drink brands in North America, (having enjoyed 155% growth in sales in 2004,[5] reaching $48 million[6]) and had sold over a billion cans.[7] It had 14% of the US energy drink market in 2008,[2] and as of 2009 was available in over 20 countries, in addition to the United States. Rockstar announced it would be switching distributors from Coca-Cola to PepsiCo in spring or summer 2009.[8]

Like its competitor Red Bull, Rockstar sponsors a range of events, including the Mayhem Festival, a metal and rock festival touring the United States in July and August; the Taste Of Chaos, a hardcore tour now called the "Winter Warped Tour"; and the "Alternative Press Tour," an annual U.S./Canada tour. Starting in 2010, Rockstar will also sponsor the Uproar Festival, which runs August through October in the US and Canada.[9]

Are Red Bull's accounts public?
Just wondering what their marketing budget spend is on all the sports they are into?
Think of everything they sponsor:
F1, MotoGP, rally, Air races,skiing,Motocross, adventure stunts like Pastrana & Madison,
Must be a big chunk of change!
