[400exrules]

What are your favorites?

[harescrambles]

try a monster before me:D.

:huh that wasent funny.



The valt and moster are the only 2 i can drink

[antman]

the only ones i like are monster and MDX

[MotoX3]

I wouldn't advise drinking one before you ride...everyone I've talked to thats tried it ended up not feeling so good...gave me an upset stomach too...might try drinking one and then riding to test it out....

[zeppelin]

all that energy drink crap is in your heads, its a placebo, it makes you think you will preform better, so you do.


that said rockstar kicks ***

[BlasterEaten250]

i hear when you drink something like gatorade you shouldnt drink it before you go out, but in the middle of when your playing. Guess you cant do that when your racing though:D

That is also BS.

[harescrambles]

I don't drink anything 1 1/2 before a race. just water up till then with maybe a little monster;)

[TheFontMaster]

[redmanracer]

i kinda like red bull
i cant stand monster

[Diedrich]

no fear is the best

[jb500ex]

try cardio stack

[maverrickid]

try looking into performance bicycle web site. There energy drinks are for post and pre ride activities. They are specially made for endurance and not a quick fix.

[theTman]

i like

monster
redbull
vault
rockstar
full throttle
that sobe one


:o i get headaches when i go like a week without one

[Rico400]

Monster hands down is the best, especially the xxl can! 24oz.

[Warnerade]

i drink a sparks everytime before i go riding.

[Mean250r]

i like monster and redbull, the Lost energy drink is pretty good to, kinda tastes like monster. Crunk juice is pretty sweet to (idk if that would be called a energy drink tho :eek2: )

[rollie]

Monster is awsome:cool: i drink so much of it lol

[nosliw]

all moose piss. can't force myself to drink them if i had to.

[Guy400]

I drink what God gave me...plenty of water. I drank MDX one time before lifting because a buddy of mine brought one over. It tasted like pine needle piss and I got no buzz from it whatsoever.

bah ive read it in numerous articals....i think the headaches are from my concussion last week tho lol

[Warnerade]

i used to drink a monster every morning before school.....and i had a week off school and was working 12 hour days, i would drink 3 a day working those 12 hour days...and i jsut stopped becuase it was getting way to expensive...

there was no addiction...

[400exc]

i want to try NOS, but cant find any. How do they taste?

[Crazy Diamond]

NOS are good! Venom was the best for a good kick! Red Bull does the best job tho for riding only 8 oz. and doesn't gas you up like the bigger ones! Nothing worse than bloating in a race!!!

[ShiftFMX]

Monster and Full throttle, all the others tast like junk to me!

[400exc]

where did you get NOS at?

[coolex]

monster

Enerty drinks have caffeine and sugar. They are terrible for you if you're an athlete and trying to perform. Caffeine dehydrates you. Ever drink too much coffee? You have to pee! Just drink lots and lots of water the last few days before a race, and NEVER drink alcohol the night before a race. Alhocol is the wost thing you can put in your body, you will feel like arse.
To be properly hydrated it takes a few days of at least 8 glasses of water each day. If your pee is yellow, you aren't hydrated all the way. It should be almost clear. If you are going to drink one Red Bull or something to help wake you up in the morning, that's not going to hurt you if you are properly hydrated with water first. I wouldn't drink more than one.
Gatorade is good, water is best. As long as you're not drinking pop or sugar drinks like Hawiian Punch before a race. Sugar and caffeine gives you a temporary high and makes you feel awake and alert for maybe 20-30 minutes, but then your body crashes once it wears off. Most people especially kids, who aren't professional athletes or trainers don't realize how important it is to drink lots of water and warm up & stretch before riding and racing.
