Since the racing season is about to start, I was thinking how cool it would be if someone created a ''ultimate'' race to see which energy drink sponsored athletes/team could win a one-off race.

Two teams of 4 DH racers, 8 athletes total, 1 race, points allowance just like in F1 racing (1st=12 pts, 2nd=10pts, 3rd=8pts, 4th=6pts, etc). The ''team'' that gets more points win this ''Championship''.

Team rosters:

Red Bull Team

1-Gee Atherton
2-Nathan Rennie
3-Matti Lehikoinen
4-Steve Smith

Monster Energy Team

1-Sam Hill
2-Steve Peat
3-Brendan Fairclough
4-Josh Bryceland

So what do you guys think?

I think it could lead to a good cool/relax atmosphere Championship and a great event for energy drink company/sponsors.

First off F1 points is the following:
10
8
6
5
4
3
2
1

Second the current F1 points system is lame. Winning a race is worth more than a 2 point difference.

Lets do it on the older points system. Which places a bigger reward for winning.

OK guys forget it. Nevermind. I thought it could be a good topic, but you don't seem to get it right. Mods lock that thread please.

Your face.
I swear I clicked on ridemonkey.com and not pinkbike.com...
What a dumb ass comment. So because this guy is a fan of racing, and a fan of the sport, hes automatically grouped in with a precived bunch of e-tards?

You're an idiot, and you need to get your **** straight. Its guys like him that are stoked on the sport that help keep it going.

I think Redbull wins cuz it gives me the same buzz but without the "waterlogged" feeling. Really, who has time to drink a 40 of energy drink?

Oh wait, you guys were talking about racing...

;) :rofl:

I think that's a pretty cool idea.

I think it would be awesome if someone actually got that to happen. The energy drink companies probably would just not go for it realistically. Lame.

Lol dam calm down son. This is exactly the kind of thread you would see on that site(i think there is one actually). Energy drink team V. Energy drink team. I am stoaked on the sport too. I just don't like energy drinks and think it's the most hypocritical/ironic sponsor you could get. It's not exactly the best or even remotely good thing to drink before a race.

Agreed, why would anyone find sponsoring top mountain bike pro's a profitable marketing scheme??? I hate having outside sponsors in our sport...it's so bad for our image. Plus it might even expand our sport!?!?
