Disclaimer:
Don’t expect any of you to really care. I don’t have social media, so excuse me if this has been brought up (doubt it, since it’s FMX related).

Just stumbled upon a picture of long time Rockstar athlete Jackson Strong, and noticed the green claw has claimed him. I know, no one cares about freestyle, especially in the middle of SX season.

I’m all for our sport being promoted, and supported in many ways, but DAMN I’m tired of seeing this ugly green claw everywhere. I stopped sipping energy drinks around 2012, but all of monsters’ product tasted like syrup mixed with sugar sprinkled with more sugar and more syrup on top. Red Bull was the only one that I could tolerate.

Anyways, yeah. Who cares. End Rant.

it's just appalling that a fine tuned athlete would ditch Rockstar energy Formula and wreck his health drinking Monster energy and all in the name of money.

What’s the big deal about the monster claw? I don’t mind it. Heck I’d rock it on my bike if I wouldn’t get flamed on here for it

He’s been on Monster for a while. Not sure why it bothers you so much. The amount of money they give our industry and all action sports is unreal. At this point they don’t have to but they are supporting everything from movie projects to events like X Games and SX. Think about the big picture man.

I get bummed when people bag on any company that literally just hands over millions of dollars to let people do what they love. Energy drinks, car company’s or even cell phones. Every penny helps.

Just a guy unhappy with his own life and taking it out on the company that funnels arguably the highest dollar amount into our little sport. Nothing to see here.

Sorry brothers, but that there is Jacko's very familiar YZ250, not an old KX he got out of the shed. It does however have a poorly colour matched KX front number plate, and a green YZ fender.

If tampax was paying riders way I’m sure they would decal the bikes up and cringe all the way to the bank.

I tried RB and Monster. Life's too short to put stuff that nasty in my mouth...unless it's at gunpoint. But they pay a lot of bills so the rest of you peckerwoods drink up.Silly
