Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Cant ride for shit after a redbull/relentless/monster. Usually drink Lucozade sport or the normal fizzy one. The only energy drink that didnt make me feel shit was Pussy. Cant say any of them give me more power/strength, but they do help with sugar levels alongside water and a banana or summat.

Sam Styles Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Oh right dosent sound to good twitches and the smell of wee changed hmm i will have a look into it thanks ive drank prity much every type on the market, in every flavour availiable in the UK, plus a few from america. i also managed to find, rockstar 710ml screw top cans, and a 1litre bottle of the purple rockstar im sad ino, but everyone thats seen the cans think it looks cool lol there expensive as anything but i find that relentless shots work, eat breakfast then before and halfway in your ride take say, 2? they keep me going all day and i don't have to eat anything try the monster shot... have the same effect + taste better too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I never have them whilst riding. Prefer water to keep me hydrated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Styles Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I never have them whilst riding. Prefer water to keep me hydrated im starting to do this now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Trials Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Its rare that I have them, usually just bring some water. Kind of stop riding after one, just makes you feel bloated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis-collins Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) I find that when I drink energy drinks whilst riding they don't have that much effect, however even if I have one early in the morning when I first start riding for the day, it keeps me up for most of that night. I think the energy drink that is best to drink riding wise is monster ( any of the flavors) as monster gives me a small amount of energy whilst riding. However I have recently started to use the red bull energy shots and I usually have two when i have my lunch ( only on days that I ride) I think that these shots give me allot of energy and at the moment they are only 50P in my local 99P store . I hope i helped Edited August 10, 2010 by ellis-collins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam1992 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Hey cool topic and when i ride and the start i like to have a red bull it doesn't make me feel bloated or anything just gets me going. Then whilst riding i drink Lucozade sport (not the fizzy one) and water to keep my energy up and the water keeps me hydrated. Liam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 i find that having a monster or redbull before riding really helps. but i would say the any other flavours like relentless juiced, rockstar punched, monster khaos makes you feel bloated they also make you need a piss, which doesnt help riding either...

trials owns Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 anyone tried powerade when riding? i drink it and doesn't make me feel bloated but have to have some when im riding to see what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stya_bear Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 I love relentless but when I ride I only really drink Vitamin Water. refreshing and tastes amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 im starting to do this now I think i'm gonna start this, i drink far to much coke, energy drink etc. And its not doing me any good is it?just some make me feel sick (relentless). But its addictive as Monster is soooo good. But i'll try kick the addiction and stop lol. heres something for your research, i beleive that drinking too much of coloured energy drinks ( purple relentless??) can turn your pee the same colour, and i have been told by many and seen in newspapers that sometimes if you drink too much, you get what basicaly is, a hangover. Hope i helped, good luck with the research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sounds like you've been having a load already today! That is pretty odd though, what about the consumer market that don't really drink them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pengsmelly Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Powerade always does me the trick and i dont think its too bad for you ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeboon Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I drink The cheap 35p energy drink or Rockstar. After I've drunk them I don't feel bloated but it doesn't effect the way I ride or how I feel feel its just another drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George6512 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 i dont rely drink energy drinks that much i went riding yesterday and had a monster and it just made me feel bloated and sick. i usaly just take some drink that has been in the freezer all night like water is best but sometimes ill have abit of orange or ribena in them but normally water.the only type of energy drink that seems to help me is lucozade but if u drink it to fast it makes u feel bloated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
