I don't drink them before riding, but I do indulge in some Red Bull and Ketlle One Vodka... Yummy. I end up being a wide awake drunk girl.

Do you guys realize that Red Bull has been around since at least 2000? I know it's been around longer elsewhere. Strange that it just started catching on in the past 2 years. I remember being in DC, Halloween 2000, drinking a strange drink called Red Bull. Not mixed with anything. Time sure flies.

I would have to go with an old school energy drink called RUM AND COKE...HAHA, normally I only drink water or liquor on the mountain, I don't really get tired.

Yes, we have another pirate on hands. Haha. I haven't tried drinking energy drinks before I ride, but I do like the Sobe No Fears and the Monster drinks. Rockstar is Coca-Colas version I believe, and it is alright, not my favorite though. Red Bull has to be cold, end of story.

I've never tried Rockstar, I'll have to sometime.
i would think that drinking energy drinks while snowboarding would decrease ur long term stanima.

energy drinks just don't seem to cut it for me. it's just somethign different for me to drink, but i never get boost of energy from them. like one time i was playing a hockey game, and i filled my water bottle wiht RedBull instead of water, and i sipped that during the course of the game. figured because it gives you a initial boost that doesn't last to long, i figured that by sipping decent amounts during the game i would be really alert and knwo where the puck was. well, it didn't do anything for me then. and a couple weeks ago i was at a party and was the DD, and i was dead tired. so i had two of them, and i jsut ened up falling asleep in the basement. maybe i am just goofed up or something, but they don't effect me at all, and i don't even have that much caffine on a weekly basis. maybe one cup of black 50-50 in the mornign on one day, then maybe StarSchmuck's or Cariboue another night.

MONSTER, LOST, AMP, AND THE #1 Rockstar.... if i didnt have those on the days we partied the night before and wake up early to go to the mountain i probably nothing

thats not how most stimulants work. coffee, caffine, speed, cocaine. if the first dose is just wearing off, u need to take a larger dose to get the same effect.

that's the reason why people become addicted to stuff liek that, but because i hardly ever consume any sort of caffine (i do drink caffine free pop, and i make sure for the most part) out side of the occasional cup of coffe, i'de figure i would have no built tolerance toward any of it. unless the tolerance stays wiht me for a long time. plus being a diabetic, and i used the sugar free RedBull. so maybe if there is supposed to be an initial sugar boost, i didn't get it. or maybe if the sugar boost is part of the whoel experince with them. mayeb next tiem i shoudl try the regular kind wiht sugar and just take some extra insuline or something to keep me from getting royaly f***ed up.
trust me, i have been on sugar high rampages, and they get pretty crazy, lol. sugar lows and i get mistaken for a drunk

yes sir, been one since i was 8. but i have more freedoms now to eat other things because i have a insuline pump. i don't knwo if you have heard of such a thing, but it is like a artificial pancreas that i wear on my belt that looks like a pager. that's basically the whoel thig in a nut shell.

ok, i got really intterested about this for some reason, but at my job we sell both kinds of redbull, the regular and sugar free. so two days for one week i drank the sugar free, and i didn't feel anything, didn't become more alert or anything, and this was sometime around closing hour and i was really tired btoh days. and on both days i chugged 4 at one time
next week i had teh regular stuff. wow, big difference. i was bouncing off the walls after being dead tired, and the secodn day, whihc was actualy today, i was about as f***ed up as day one. even though the sugar content is less than a 20oz. of coke, it does make a bit of a difference. and once again i chugged all 4 each day. thank god for insuline or i would have been screwed.
i am a big f***ing retard. why do i do this to myself?

i am ending the month long experiment. my blood sugar was getting f***ed up, and i decided not killing myslef was the better option. this was only after at most half a motnh of work. and as far as the documentary being put to film, there were no takers, so now it is a memory stored away in a shoe box on MiniDV tapes.

Hmm... sum1 sed bfore that they think energy drinks will keep you going longer... it doesn't. It puts u on an energy superhigh for a little while, then it drops you off and you feel tired again. If you wanna last longer, i suggest eating an apple or 2 about 1/2 an hour bfore u go. Seriously, it works, they dont' lie. Not only will you have lots of energy, but it's healthier and keeps you up for a really long time.
I can't have energy drinks ne way. Caffeine makes me go totally insane. i had about 3 mouthfuls of coffee once and i started shaking like crazy.
