This is about Red Bull, a supporter of our sport..sort of, so please don't blast me for posting this here.
Where are they getting all this money? The owner(s) definitely sold their souls to the devil.
F1, MLS, SX, etc.
Will they please buy NORBA!

Red Bull is okay with me.

They heavily sponsor/own Scott Speed who will be the first American Driver to race in 13 years come Sunday at the Grand Prix of Bahrain.

Their support of mountain biking is unquestioned. Heck they even sposored the guy I train with. He is an adventure racer.

Dieter has done mighty well for himself!

A few billion in worldwide sales kinda helps. As does their agressive marketing. Look how many companies now have an energy drink out to try to compete. There's Full Throttle, Sobe Adrenaline Rush, Vault, etc.

awesome pic. Not wired at all. "Red Bull and vodka has ruined my life... " Say it in the Chappelle show crack addict voice..

Redbull accounts are massive. They outfit plenty of bars/truckstops/corner stores/grocery stores/711s etc worldwide. Most companies just don't throw it around a la redbull. The owners like to have fun, and they like to treat their employees right.

 

[boozy1976]

the owner (... Mateschitz) has a private hangar on an airport in austria where he is collecting planes...
he is a plane-addict and also sponsors these air-races...
skijumpers etc.

I just bought a red bull fridge... it's stocked with a case of bull and some good imports

 

[Kntr]

I drink a Redbull almost everyday and I know a lot of people that do.

 

[Ian Collins]

well yeah....they're basically in the business of selling drugs.....look how well starbucks has done!?!?....look how well the tobacco industry does....it's because they're selling an addictive product.....I've got no complaints though....they contribute alot to the sport....

There is less then half the caffeine in a redbull then in a typical cup of coffee.

Yep picked a used one up on ebay for about $270 (that included shipping)...UPS put a small dent in it, and I claimed it was unrepairable and that i bought it as a collectable. I am waiting for the check in the mail.

so it was free

Red Bull has such a placebo affect on me...

I am actually starting to dig the taiste of Monster as well.

 

[Kntr]

Actually, Redbull has 80mg of caffeine in one can.

Cup of coffee 90-150mg
Instant coffee 60-80mg
Tea 30-70mg
Cola 30-45mg
Chocolate bar 30mg
Vivarin 200mg
Cold relief tablet 30mg


I buy a case of Redbull at Costco once a month and they are $32.99 for 24 cans.

Actually it's probably more Vitamin B overload then placebo. That **** has like 1200% of your daily recommended vitamin B in it.

What's the white sugar count in a can of that stuff.....?.....are there any herbal 'uppers' in it....?

hahhaah you made me laugh on that one...I like it on those mornings where you just cant get it going. it give you that "my heart is gonna blow feeling"

 

[Transcend]

No herbal crap as far as I know, and sugar is about the same as a softdrink, unless you get the sugar free stuff which is, obviously, sugar free.

It is the vitamin overdose that gives you the temporary wakeup (and the little bit of caffeine). Unless you are like me, in which case i drink so much coffee/soft drinks, that i get pretty much nothing out of a redbull.

 

[Kntr]

It does have Taurine in it

 

[Transcend]

Trace amounts I believe and Taurine doesn't do anything but aid in digestion. There is absolutely no scientific proof that it enhances caffeine's effects (which is the claim of most of these drink manufacturers).

Im getting too that point. I drink the sugar free stuff though...Dont even notice it now.

and a box of belgian waffles. mmmm, waffles.

 

[SilentJ]

There's Full Throttle, ..., Vault, etc.

Both of those are Coco-Cola products. I like Full Throttle better than any others, though. Someone sells "Red Rain" up here - I like it better than Red Bull. Not sure who makes it, though.

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

red bull is the only way to go hahhaha "red rain"... Bars down this way have this crap called "bonzai" on tap...I was a bit under the influence one night and asked the bartender for a red bull and vodka i he responded "we dont have red bull we have bonzai"

i prob looked like this :looney:...

For half the price and a better taste, I'll take the knock off Red Rain.

 

[MadDHer]

I was told to get a hold of someone either at Red Bull or Monster for some sponsorships.
Do you have a contact Transcend?

 

[slang]

does noone drink rockstar? tastes similar to redbull, and twice the size for the same price

Redbull won't do anything. We only have a hookup as one of my team riders works for them.

Monster sponsorships are through sponsorhouse.com

 

[black noise]

There's too much liquid in there. I don't drink Redbull when I'm thirsty. Anyhow, I like Redbull's taste better and it actually gives me some energy.

Except I get less and less energy now. A while ago I would drink one and be wired, but now I barely feel anything, or it just lasts about 10 minutes.

 

[sn0wboarder]

I stopped buying RedBull, it's to expensive for what you get and one can doesn't really effect me due to the large and strong ammount of coffee I induce every morning. I often buy Monster XXL at work, which is about 50 cents more the RedBull but I actually get a wake up call from it.

 

[Transcend]

Redbull tastes good, who cares what it's effects are?

 

[sayndesyn]

I drink rockstar.... Then I party like a...

 

[sayndesyn]

I only drink Redbull when I feel particularly Robbie Bourdonish. Then I throw alot of devil horns and try to casually act xtreme and xgames ish. It sure isn't easy.
