Hammer Nutrition is my go-to supplier. I couldn't have won my National championship in Enduros without their products.

I recommend:

Hammer Gel- instant boost of energy. (Before motos or in between test sections)



EnduroLytes- all the electrolytes from a sports drink without the sugar




Recovery powder



And Tissue Rejuvenator - works wonders for my blown out knee

@ Hasko.....man I tried quite a bit of the Sparks stuff and I never got anything out of it. I drank it before and during my riding sessions and it never gave me anything extra. Not sure what was up with that. But thank you for posting it.

@ The guys who recommended the Hammer products.....I'm going to be doing some reading up on that stuff this evening when I get home. Pretty sure I will give it a try.

Bingo

Before I head out/while driving to the track in the morning, I have coffee with almond-coconut milk & honey.

After riding & when I've got to drive a while or go to a meeting an hour or more away, I'll have a Rockstar Sparkling Cherry Citrus. I believe it's only 20 Cals and it does about the same thing as a good cup of coffee (I'm not in the mood for a coffee AFTER I ride).

Couldn't agree more, they have a peach along with that cherry flavor. Refreshing and it'll give you a kick without a crash. Probably the only energy drink in the big 3 lineup that wont totally kill you.
Shhhhh...

Don't tell the kids...thay don't need to know our secret training methods!

Yup, try the hammer gel first Jeffro. After that, if you like it, venture out. I would start with the EnduroLytes and gel.

I like the mountain berry (?) flavor and the grape gel. Stay away from orange and coffee imo

You can find this in Co-op's and other places you buy organic food. It's like a tea but with more caffine and healthier than a Monster or Rockstar.

I don't see how y'all can stand the taste of any of this shit. I'm a picky person when it come to food/drinks. I cannot stand the taste of any of this drinks you guys name. Then again I also cannot stand the taste of any bee that I have ever tasted. They all about make me heave. For the life of me, I cannot make myself drink something that tastes awful and the whole, if you drink it enough you will get used to it has never worked for me. It still taste's like shit on number 4 as did number 1. I'm envious of you guys that can deal with these tastes.

That's the funny thing. I work for a company that has a deal with rockstar and they flow us a couple cases a month for the office. Anyways I became damn near addicted to them and brought a few home to let the family try a couple. The whole family is hooked as well. Although I will say that I have never seen one of them at a gas station or liquor store, so I am sure our secret is safe for at least a few more months!

OK.....I'm looking into the hammer products as we speak. But " MindFX".....fill me in here.....there are numerous products.

I can't drink that poisonous stuff like Monster , Redbull , ect.....it makes me feel all tweaked out and gives me " nervous energy " ( if you know what I mean?) I know this may sound dumb......but the energy I get from beer is something I'm looking for....without the side affects of alcohol. The energy I get from the beer are the carbs.But yeah....I know it's not a good thing to drink before and during riding.

Like I was saying before......there really isn't to many guys my age that burn through energy the way i do. I'm not kidding on this. I have days where my energy levels are through the roof and would put an 18yr old to shame. My issue is when I'm pushing myself " sometimes" I fall flat on my face in the middle and that mostly happens when I'm doing moto.

If I can find something that will help me sustain energy and let me go as hard as I want at 15-20mins at a time , multiple times a day.....that is what I'm looking for. Fitness?.....I've got that part down with some fine ( although I'm always fine tuning ).....it's that my body is running out of fuel.

I have Mind FX and it seems to work well enough. It isn't the best, or worst tasting drink. But it does help you feel focused and energetic(not jittery).

Ok here's the deal MindFX has been developed over the last 3 years using only organic compounds that work synergistically with the brain chemistry to allow intense FOCUS without any of the crap that's out there. The Athene was originally developed for Moto but because of our connection to the gamer world we private labeled the product. it's original designation was to be called MindFX Performance Pro because it has the added Electrolytes & Vitamin C. Same amount of Potassium as Coconut Water. The product has a ton of Science behind it and it's designed to be very simple without all the added junk that's not really needed. Technically the Adaptogenic Herbs buffer the caffeine so You won't get wired like most of the Energy drinks and No crash. Do sum research of this product and you"ll find out that every major championship won in the last 3 years the riders were using MindFX. RV 2012,2013, SX & MX KROC & J Martin 2014 Natl Championships
How do I know all this is because I own the Co and developed the product with their trainers

Keeping it simple seems to work best for most people. Apples really do work wonders for energy. Black coffee and chocolate milk are my go to drinks aside from water, but that being said there's a few Ryno power products I really like. If you're looking carbs specifically theres always the carbo fuel. Pretty much is what it says. For just the energy effect I find the motivation capsules to work pretty well!
