A Whole Lotta Bull

What do a break dancing b-boy, fearless surfer and world record-holding motocrosser have in common? Red Bull, of course.



Ronnie Abaldonado, 2007 Red Bull BC One Champion and America's Best Dance Crew 2008 (with Super Cr3w), Ian Walsh, a super cute surfer from Maui who recently conquered 70 foot monsters in Tahiti and aussie Robbie Maddison who set a Guinness World Record by jumping his motorcycle 100+ feet onto the Arc di Triomphe in Las Vegas this past New Year's Eve (as part of Red Bull's New Year, No Limits promotion) are the extreme rulers of the World of Red Bull.

Footage of their feats are the subject of the current red bull commercials on TV right now, which I highly recommend watching.

I figured I would dedicate a post to the energizing libation since it helped me survive the last week of school.

And we always hear about how certain soda brands are trying to compete with energy drinks so I find it a little strange that Red Bull seems to be digressing by introducing it's own brand of cola.



Even stranger that they're focusing on the fact that it's "all natural" since the ingredients in their staple product are far from it. Oh well. They seem to do a lot of things that don't make sense. Like having a bull for a mascot and a tagline that claims to give you wiiings. Bulls can't fly, silly.
