LawnDart21 0 #26 June 20, 2002 I just got our DZ to stock Go Fast!! next to our Red Bull display, and the Go Fast!! is totally out selling the Red Bull. I got the Go Fast!! number from the website and called them. I spoke with Troy Widgery, the owner of the company directly. (How cool is it that the owner answers the phone), I put him in contact with our food vendor, and the rest is Go Fast!! history. Red Bull is too corporate, Go Fast!! is a product for skydivers made by skydivers."I live to GO Fast!!!!Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #27 June 20, 2002 Yeah, but both will jack you up and both mix well with liquor...It was cool, we had free Red Bull at the TSR, I think I had like 9 or so that afternoon.

Spy38W 0 #28 June 20, 2002 QuoteNO NO NO...get your drinks straight!I was only referring to the preferred method of consumption, like a shot, though it is a good sipping drink also.AD's post reminded me of another drink I tried on a flight back from Colorado a couple of years ago. I had some extra cans of Red Bull from snowboarding in my carry on and mixed up a Jack 'n Redbull. Also very good, can't figure out why the airplane was spinning and flying upside down though. --Come to the dark side Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #32 June 20, 2002 Red Bull is OK, but it can wig you out pretty bad if that is all you drink all day (like we do at swoop meets when it's free and the water has run out). Sweating your ass off in the 100 degree sun out in the middle of Perris DZ with no real shade is no time to pound 8 cans of Go Fast between rounds. Shit, I thought I was going to pass out under canopy I was wigging so bad! Nice!Actually, my favorite of all the "energy" drinks is Go Fast. Not because they sponsor Jim and the boys, but because it just tastes best out of them all in my opinion. Believe me when I say I have had them all. Are you a Monkey or a Flunky?

smooth 0 #35 June 20, 2002 I have to agree with those who said that "Go Fast!' tastes better (at least to me) than "Red Bull". If I recall correctly, "Blue Ox Energy" (the one in the silver can) - which IS available commercially - tastes similar to "Go Fast!".My DZ stocks Red Bull so I ordered a case of Go Fast directly from http://www.gofastsports.com.

smooth 0 #36 June 20, 2002 Quotedouble/triple/multiple vodka and red bull - garaunteed mad oneLooks like the manufacturers have heard the call....energy drinks pre-mixed with vodka, tequila, or rum. In this case, "Blue Ox" http://www.indrinks.com/Products/OxTails/OxtRum.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivehigh 0 #37 June 20, 2002 Does anyone know what "taurine" is........I heard it was bull urine ???I find that hard to beleive............B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sinkster 0 #38 June 20, 2002 that's false."Rumours about Red Bull’s ingredients and effects fuel its popularity as a mixer and run counter to the manufacturer’s reassurances about its harmlessness. Though the company clearly benefits from the aura of dangerous mystery surrounding the product, its website does dispel a few myths, including the rumour that Red Bull is made from bull’s testicles. In fact, the amino acid taurine, though first discovered in cattle, is found in most meats and dairy products. The taurine in Red Bull is synthetic, which, as its makers are keen to point out, make the drink suitable for vegetarians."taken from this page Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindsey 0 #39 June 20, 2002 Taurine is an amino acid, 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid, I believe. There's a lot of it in muscle. It seems, if I recall correctly, that humans synthesize it from cystine and methionine.... It's not bull urine. No BS....==8-0LindseyThe empty can rattles the most Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #46 June 21, 2002 I don't like Red Bull. I drink Go Fast; like several others said I think it tastes much better and gives a more even energy boost.pull & flare,lisa"Try not. Do or do not. There is no try." - Yoda sez Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TomAiello 26 #49 June 21, 2002 The hot new drink for BASE jumpers is 180 energy drink. We just love the name.It'd be a bit like someone who never played baseball randomly named their drink "strike out", or someone who knew nothing about skydiving called their drink "cut away".We just laugh every time we offer each other a 180 just before exit.--Tom Aiellotbaiello@mac.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
