Amp'd, Monster, Unbound, Rockstar, and the list goes on and on and on. It's obvious there place in Motocross, Supercross, and Freestyle. I understand that we are considered an extreme sport and that it may fit well with the energy drink image. However, how many motocross riders, families, and fans actually drink the shit?
them 'cause according to an MD friend they are absolute garbage to pour
in your body. I sure wouldn't give my kids any 'casue they give my old
ass a sugar rush and I'd never get the kids to bed.
I don't see a lot of people drinking them at the local tracks. Most people have a water bottle, sports drinks, or at worst, diet soda.
The Shop
when my kid was racing, she loved them.
It actually kept me awake and alert for quite a while. Or maybe that was the big chested girl that was working the counter at the 7-11?... either way, it worked.
I just can't get past the marketing of it (mlm). I tried it from a friend, taste like shit (all do) and gave me a big time zing. I could never drink one and exercise.
"Vemma Verve is the Insanely Healthy Energy Drink
Energy drinks of today should come equipped with airbags: the crash can be severe and it's up to you to peel yourself off the floor. The Vemma Verve Energy Drink is designed to give you the energy you need without the wear and tear on your body.
Somewhere in between working, going to school, taking care of the kids, paying the rent and becoming a world leader, you're going to need refueling.
Verve! is a radically different energy drink that finally has everything you're looking for in your energy boost. Packed full of insanely healthy good stuff like all your vitamins and low in natural sugar, like what you find in apples. Verve! is a flavor explosion that keeps you going so you can conquer whatever life smacks in front of you.

On a race/ride day I'll stick with a good night sleep and some B-12 vitamins for my energy on the track.
Without energy drinks where would mx be right now?
On a side not, I went to the Angels game on Sunday and in the Angels bullpen they had Monster signage on the wall. They also sell Monster at all the drink carts around Angel stadium.
I do drink the Rockstar in the white can, I do actually like the taste of it. When I go out and get mixed drinks its usually Rockstar and rum, or vodka, or whatever else they can mix with it..
I wouldn't go judging by what people say on this board as what the mx world is drinking.
Most weekend races are 4-5 laps out here at the bigger tracks, what the hell else are you supposed to drink while your waiting 4-5 hours to race again? I've seen quite a few pro's drink the stuff on practice days.

cases a week because that means I can get more free posters at the SX,
see more fake boobs in the pits and best of all watch more SX on the
tube. Monster is good for the sport. Drink up losers.
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.
