So hard to understand why SX/MX/dirt bikes can’t land outside sponsors…. Same people complaining are probably the anti-energy drink people. I just skimmed this thread, so I could be wrong.

i love their coffee. i've been on the subscription for 6 months now and have received 3 free coffee mugs and a free bag of coffee.

Freedom Fuel and Gunship are my favorite.

I used to mix Freedom Fuel and Gunship, but then when I torqued my sprocket bolts, I snapped every damn one of em.

Pastrana is 40 years old now. Seems like a logical brand transition.

This isn’t much different then Shaq endorsing IcyHot.

"The new company, to be called BRC Inc., will have as much as $225 million cash on its balance sheet."
Red Bull spends that much on toilet paper, per week.

Why would the "woke mob" be pissed at Pastrana?

Here is their direct statement. It sounds reasonable to me. They definitely support the 2A, and seem like a company with integrity to me. I don't drink coffee, but I will buy some merch to support them for their support of not only TP, but of veterans.

There is no doubt Kyle was railroaded by the msm, and they continue to push lies, but it seems like BRC simply wanted nothing to do with making profits on the situation in any way.

You don't understand that's not it at all.

RD Coffee is simply a racer selling coffee. We can all get behind that.

I said I didn't want to answer earlier because I didn't want to be political, but the problem people have with BRCC is that they marketed themselves as being all American and heavy pro 2nd Amendment supporters. When it came time to support the 2nd Amendment, they did the opposite. Many people who supported them felt justifiably betrayed. That community will pay a premium to support companies that support their cause, but they better not betray that trust.
I do get it.
I just dont get why just because they are Pro 2A, they automatically have to support Rittenhause. It is possible that some people are pro 2A, but still think Rittenhause was in the wrong. there are intricacies in every issue, and i dont see why the management of this company arent entitled to an opinion on the issue.
To boycott a coffee brand because of their take on that particular issue seems retarded to me.....just my opinion

What you don't get is what does Dungey's stance on anything have to do with it?

"Vital members will need to see a complete dossier on RD's opinions on all contentious issues before spending a dime."

The Dunge has been a good sports celebrity, he got behind a charity everyone can believe in and he shut his mouth about everything else. I'll buy any quality product from anybody as long as they don't come out with some lame woke crap. I sell tires at my work and I haven't sold one set of Goodyear tires since they succumbed to the woke mob.

Get woke, go broke.

Agreed, & the branding/logo'ing of this company looks quite out of place, doesn't really fit travis persona in my opinion. I feel perplexed.

Any real coffee snob knows black rifle is trash. Making a killing off of their marketing and brand image which is cool if you’re into that. Starbucks? Might as well drink charcoal. Bad quality beans they over roast to hide the inefficiencies of the beans they buy. Some people like to drink charcoal and others like to drink good coffee.

This will be interesting to watch; how BRCC does in 2-5 yrs. It's a high margin business that is attracting lots of different folks. Good marketing/ ads on their part I must say. But will it be a "sticky" business that grows long term or a flash in the pan? No idea.... we shall see.

The smart play with this much comp is to go high quality with low to mid pricing. Put the hurt on the guys looking to squeeze every dollar out of the consumer buy undercutting them and delivering high quality stuff. But... that's just me. )

I have no idea, but you can't be yourself these days.

Well I can, but I don't own a company.

Black rifle is the worst brand of beta male larperators in the entire world. As soon as it came time to nut up and do some real 2A stuff, they folded like a lawn chair. They’re garbage and their coffee sucks. They need to stick to making 15 year olds laugh and selling tee shirts to boomers.

Good lord we can't enjoy anything anymore without the social media police on one side or the other finding some reason to get their sensitivities offended and starting a protest/boycott. If their coffee is good and they do actually support the military and first responders, I'd have no problem buying it regardless of how they feel about Kyle Rittenhouse. Who cares?

I obviously don't hang out in the corners of the internet like some here, I have no idea what half of the terms being thrown around even mean. But if we were to put all of the coffee companies on a spectrum based on their support of the second amendment, Black Rifle would be on the far right of the spectrum. Just not far enough right for some. So let's boycott and cancel them, because that's how men act.
Dude I'm convinced you cart your soft handed self into every thread to try to neutralize things with subtle left wing undertones. You might think its cool and mature to be a radical centrist but it gives me second hand embarrassment for you lmao

I downvoted that groyper post ^

Hey everyone! Are you a firefighter or police officer? Try our red-n-blue salute coffee!

Are you a gnarly motocrosser? Try our berm-brew-roost coffee

Are you a gun carrying southerner? Try our AK-Southern7 coffee!

Look for more new drops where we can pander to more audiences and take their money.
