jeremyneas 0 #1 August 6, 2003 So it's the end of a long day, I have to drive home and I need a pick-me-up. The Red Bulls have all been sold, but Go Fast came to the DZ last week and covered the DZ in festive Go Fast stuff. This also included a Go Fast Fridge filled with Go Fast Energy drinks. So I buy two and off I go. Well low and behold, I almost fall asleep at the wheel a couple of times driving home. I'm smacking the back of my head, windows down in the rain, music cranked all to keep me from nodding off. I pull in a gas station and grab a Red Bull and down it and I'm pinging the rest of the way home. Happy days. I'd like to support Go Fast as well as Red Bull because they both support skydiving in one shape or another. But what the hell is up with their "energy" drink!!!???!!!

melstarr 0 #2 August 6, 2003 i completely agree with you... i have tried pretty much every energy drink out there ~ and i must say that Red Bull, is the better 'energy' drink. RB not only has a perfect taste with very light carbonation...but it also has the pretty little blue and silver can ... plus the sugar free Rocksi am NOT looking down on go fast because i too appreciate go fast's sponsorship of the sport, but ~ i can't say that i "go fast" after consuming it... i think go fast has more sugar than taurine. taurine is the key element in providing the 'energy'.... btw: -taurine- is how *Red Bull* achieved it's name ~ meL* Pink Mafia / Tunnel Mafia Sister Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does the Go Fast stuff taste/smell any different? Reckon I'll just stick to coffee and Pro-plus though - tried and tested most weekends!

kingbunky 3 #5 August 6, 2003 i recently tried go fast for the first time, and found i had a much nicer taste, but perhaps not quite the kick of red bull. i drink red bull for the effect, not the taste though. it's kind of a shame we can't buy either of them in canada.

BlueEyedMonster 0 #8 August 6, 2003 I've never tried either of them. Do they get you all hyper and shit? I am already hyper-spastic. If I were to down a couple of RB's would it be like giving a chipmunk speed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

redtwiga 0 #10 August 6, 2003 My favorite: Sobe Adrenaline. It tastes like grapefruit soda (better than Red Bull in my opinion) and keeps the energy level spiked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr2mk1g 10 #14 August 6, 2003 go fast taists sooo good. Lived off it (ish) when I stayed at Perris and cant wait for it to get the the UK/go commercial like the taist better than RB - from what I reccall is flavoured with australian honey amungst other stuff. Dont think it has as much caffine in it as RB - but personally thats a good thing, unless your looking for somthing to stop you sleaping, in which case drink RB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Sebazz1 2 #15 August 6, 2003 Quoteunless your looking for somthing to stop you sleaping [pirate_voice]SLEEP!?!

Both give me energy. I guess that's the caffeine...Go Fast has a lot less caffeine than RB does. And I definitely think it tastes a lot better. Of course, I'm biased. My husband is sponsored by Go Fast. Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Red Bull and Adrenaline Rush are my favorites. Don't like the taste of Go Fast. Tried a new energy drink last night called "Rock Star." I loved it!! It's bigger than the regular energy drinks - 16 oz. - but costs the same $1.99 as the regular ones. It worked! Kind of caught a little buzz too (for a few seconds) so I think I'll buy it again!
