Energy Drinks

[Bam Rocks!]

I don't know if energy drinks help with skating but a lot of my friends say that if you have full throtel,redbull, or Bawls it makes you do alot better. Ive tried to drink Bawls when i'm skating and I think it actually works. What do you guys think? I think it's good but keeps you up alittle too long lol. jk

Chat!

Helps keep me energetic, I think it dehydrates you, though.

One time I had a full throttle, while i was skating, and it made me worse. I kept missing my rail and stuff. and I felt, like sort of drunk and stuff.

[Johhnyskate101]

Water
Water
Water

[Sk8 Shorty's]

in my opinion
its worse

i had a monster before i skated once
my legs felt like jello sooooo much while skating
it sucked asss

i say propel, water, or gatorade
would do better

[nephteray303]

If you drink too little caffeine your skating will be worse because you will have less control over your body, but if you drink a lot of caffeine you will become fearless. At least, this is true in my personal experience. :-41:

[skizzate]

Yeah, I digg power trip.
Helps sometimes, other times it just puts me out of it.

Hell yeah. I love Monster Assaults, Rockstar, and Cocaine.

[skizzate]

Cocaine is too much work to get. But its so hella dope.

[Sk8 Shorty's]

idk if anyone else knew this
but cocaine since its name is also a name of a drug
they have to change their name now.

[AdioBird52]

Yeah. It doesn't matter though.

A store around here sells cocaine, so its's cool. It's less than a mile away.

[Sk8 Shorty's]

yeah for now they will
eventually what they have of cocaine now
will be gone

[AdioBird52]

Yeah. I'll still drink it with whatever name they have.

[Sk8 Shorty's]

yeah i would to, ive actually never had it though :P

what does it even taste like? lol just wondering

[AdioBird52]

It tastes like most energy drinks, but it burns your throat when you drink it.

It's called "Censored" now.

its all in the brain if a reliable source told u u were faster than a marathon runner the next time u ran anywere you would feel faster so if a major company says ENERGY IN A BOTTLE! then as consumers were bound to belive it
but if u get the thought that they dont actualy work then they wont help

[StevoElSupremo]

I love energy drinks they actually get me hyped

not true.

they do work to an extent. company's don't really go for the placebo effect anymore as they now try to make their money on the comeback. they can't use a sort of placebo effect anyways as it is illegal to lie about their products. i'd say that sugarfree redbull is the only thing worth it. they're not physically bad for you and you don't get the crash afterwards. monsters, as well as most others, are twice the size and half the kick. also, repeated intake is really bad for your body, though sugarfree redbulls are not anywhere near that bad.

take it from me as i'm studying to be a doctor.

lol at my school they sell this shit called dew fuel its like a mountain dew engergy drink but all these kids buy it and say stuff like OHHHH MAN IV HAD LIKE 7 OF THESE TODAY IM GOING SOOOOO CRAZY. but these dew fuel things just tast like crap and i dont think they do anything for you in terms of energy. Also i think people get mislead a little bit there called energy drinks but they dont give you much energy they just wake me up when im sleepy but when i skate im usualy really pumped so i dont really need them

[AdioBird52]

Half the kick? Definately not. Red Bull doesn't taste as good, or give you the kick Monster does.

I like water with a wee bit of flavour in it. Mandarin, lime, berry. Mmm. Like mizone or something.

[PeeWeeSkater]

energy drinks are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad for you. i like jones soda: green apple; good stuff! (not that sodas are healthy either)

[TrAnCe]

theres this thing called the INVERTED U-HYPOTHESIS. its based on arousal. the more aroused you are, the better u perform, BUT if you're over aroused, you'll loose concentration and err accuracy. so screw energy drinks. get a pint of straberries, 2 bananas, and a litre of milk, and belt that shyt in a blender. thats all the nrg you need, and half the fat!

as for energy drinks.. grr.. gurana gives a short burst of energy, while caffine is both a stimulant and a depressant in that it lowers ur heart rate and ups arousal. ixed together, its like fire and gas. ouch. my good mate starts to twitc every time he drinks that shyt.

I drink water and pity the fool who dont drink his milk (also has high energy, and good for ur bones!)

[Dookie416]

i drink milk and water a lot, but if i'm really pumped, i'll grab a monster. not every day though. around here you can find them for $2

[Blaze]

yea, lately i feel ive gotten imune to monsters though. I try to avoid energy drinks for skating though, because like someone else said, it makes my legs feel like jello, and it makes me really shaky and paranoid. I find it better for getting through school, or other sports.

[Bam Rocks!]

Hmm.. Thats intresting. By looking at everyones posts a lot more people say that it's bad then good. It usually works for me but most of the time I just feel like I had a bad night, know what i'm sayin lol

Who drinks "Bawls". Thats the best energy drink you will ever taste.

[dantheman15]

there was an energy drink here in the states called "cocain" and it got taken off the market cuz it actualy had trace amounts of cocain in it

[Miniflipkid]

King Cobra for life.
