Well Monster Energy has put it's name yet again to the MX SX World as a major sponsor. They must be getting good mileage out of it, i wonder how many of you have actually tried their stuff. I find it nowhere near as nice as a cold beer

Monster tastes like...someone put jumper cables on Sprite or something.
Not the biggest fan of it..

But, I must admit that the Moster+Juice one is pretty good. Gives me a headache though.

I don't see how people just drink down Monster like water.

I agree with you there Hendrix, can't stand the taste of monster. I prefer full throttle over any of the other energy drinks as far as taste goes, but if I'm looking for caffeine then I'll chug down a Red Bull.

Anyways, its cool that monster stepped up for this major sponsor since amp mobile went under, I'm really looking forward to the races.

Personally I really enjoy an ice cold monster, only the green ones though.

Redbull....only with Jaeger.

mmmm never even seen it available here.. So can't say I've tried it.. I had read that the No Fear SOBE drink was pretty good as far as taste and have always wanted to try it.

Energy drink promotions and sponsorships have really gone through the roof the last 3 years!

Gotta admit I buy the cases at Costco. I used them when travelling, I was driving late nights for business and found that it helped keep me from dozing. I drink them now on my 150mile daily commute, usually only Thurs./Fri. cause by the end of the week I am dragging butt.

Looking at the business side, I wish I were a bit smarter when it comes to investing, the obvious always gets overlooked. Drink it, see it all over motocross, see lots of kids drinking it. It's bottled by Hansen. Back in Jan. 05 it was $5/share, today it's ~$47/share(high this year was $68).

But yeah, I'd say they can afford to sponsor the sport.

i never liked it until mx of nations. the lines for water on the second day were about an hour long so i tried to iron-man it (plus i didnt want to miss any action lol). i was so hot that while i was out of my seat talking to my buddy some kid opened my cooler and tried to steal my gatorades! anyway... monster had these hot girls in a Rhino with a giant bucket of ice and monster. best tasting think i ever drank... oh and then i got their numbers...

[YZ125motoracer]
