I tried a Red Bull once. Yuck.

Water, juice, or Rice Milk for me. But then again, I'm not real typical- no alcohol, coffee, milk, and very little in the way of sodas. When I end up needing to eat at a fast-food joint, they look at me a bit odd when ordering some type of McMeal thingy and than specify water as the drink.

to all you dumb shits that act like you are part of the industry and aren't just to clear a little up about energy drinks in MX and SX on the box they are water bottles that look like the cans or the cans themselves are emptied and filled with water so in between motos no the ridders are not drinking whatever energy drink they are holding. to the fact that none of them drink it they almost all do just not in excess go in any top riders house that is sponsored by and energy company and they have pallets of them and a fridge full i myself ride and race and drink about one a day if you are dedicated and ride hard enough to burn calories you need them... michael phelps he drinks several a day just for the calories.. so to all of you that knock the products get your shit straight

The Jager booth sucked at Houston SX by the time we got their. They ID us but didnt have any more samples! BOO

That stuff is poison.
I would let my son smoke crack before I would let him drink any brand of that shit.

As far as what they are doing for the sport goes, just wait till they get a firmer hook into the mainstream sports like NASCAR or the stick and ball stuff.

MX/SX will be a distant memory.

Can't stand the left turners, would rather watch grass grow.

The only one's I have had that actually tasted ok were BooKoo Citrus and Rockstar Punched. Most of the people I see who down 4 or 5 a day, are the least active people I know.

The regular Monster (green) is the worst crap I've ever tasted, to me it tastes like somebody melted down 20 apple Jolly Ranchers and put it in a can.

The only RedBull I ever had was the original stuff in a small can that came out about 10 years ago, yukkkkkkk, tasted like a Pepsi somebody opened and then left in the fridge for 2 weeks.

I heard a radio show here locally yesterday where they were talking about these energy drinks. There were tons of people calling in saying they used to dring 4 to 8 a day and how they now have diabetes.

At least two called in talking about how they had kids who were forbidden to drink them but found out later that they were doing it away from them in mass quantities and that they'd have real life threatening scared with them. Thinks like kidneys shutting down, diabetic comas and such.

One guy called and said that he'd lost his son last year from complications with diabetes and these drinks. Turns out he had a family history of diabetes and the kid was pounding monsters. For three weeks he'd complained of lower back pain then all of a sudden he collapsed one day. They took him to the ER and he was in a diabetic coma. The kid ended up dead in a few days.

Caffeine in high volumes is not healthy, but in moderation is not all that negative to the body.


ALOT of top pro(MC, RC, RV, etc.) all use CytoMax or champion nutrition(Revenge in particular) products for pre,during,postest rides/races/exercises.
HA HA HA. Did you think those guys were actually drinking that in the branded water bottles? /sarcasm.

Of all the drinks out there, I like Red Bull the best. Since i'm a cheap sob I cant bring myself to paying $4 for that stuff. If it was free I would be drinking it in lieu of coffee.

I drink a few of them a week. Used to drink Red Bull, then started drinking Monster. What I drink now is actually called Joker - it is the same as Monster (just in a different can) and costs 60 cents for a 16 oz. can. Every now and then they show up at Big Lots and my wife buys me a case.
I don't actually get an "energy boost" or anything no matter how much I drink. I don't get it from coffee either and never understood what the fuss was about with the whole "gotta have my morning coffee" thing (and I just recently started drinking coffee). I really just started drinking Red Bull originally because they supported extreme sports. Since I'd drink about a dozen Cokes a day anyway, I just replace them with a Monster or Red Bull every once in a while.

Good with the old vodka but thats where it stops.

Makes me laugh when you see people drinking them between moto's.

Only if they knew that the stuff that comes out the tap in there kitchen is alot better !

Yup, 5hr. energy for me too. Lots of Vitamin B. Very few calories. Just too damn expensive. Basically stick with water.

I used to drink them. But I've been clean for about a year now. And never looked back.

I have a monster kx450, monster one helmet and monster oneal gear.. I just like the black and green but biggest of all I think there a huge sponser to the sport and I have no problem buying there stuff.. Ive had the low carb monster drink and its not bad but I have them maybe one every 3-4 months..They taste good but im more to support who supports motocross.. Without the energy drinks the riders and teams would not be anywhere where they are at right now. I drink cytomax at the track or water never energy drinks..The guys on the podium are drinking water or something that restores electrolytes in your body like cytomax, revenge ect.. There are helping the sport big time there not forcing people to go drink the stuff.

I used to drink 2 or 3 red bulls a day cause i was workin long hours and was gettin minimal sleep, anyway when i was in the hospital after my accident they were a little worried about my irregular heart beat, that they said would have been from all the red bulls..
but i still have an energy drink called V every now and then that they have here. It's a really subtle energy boost better than the hit of the red bulls
