Red Bull Gives You Wings?

Friday, May 29th, 2009

So here’s a good story, via the AP:

“BERLIN - Six German states have told retailers to stop selling Red Bull Cola energy drinks after a test found a trace amount of cocaine.
The bans started Friday after a sample test conducted by authorities in North Rhine-Westphalia state found 0.4 micrograms per liter in the drink.
Five other states also banned it from shops amid concerns over possible narcotics law violations.

Germany’s Federal Institute for Risk Assessment said Monday that the cocaine level was too low to pose a health risk. It planned to produce a more detailed report Wednesday.
Red Bull said its cola is “harmless and marketable in both the U.S. and Europe.” It said similar coca leaf extracts are used worldwide as flavoring, and a test it commissioned itself found no cocaine traces.”
You will notice that the can says “Strong and Natural,” so parent company Red Bull GmbH presumably is in the clear with regards to false advertising claims.

Highlights from the 09 West Coast Invitational at Mammoth

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

We left at 6 am Friday morning to get up to the mountain on time.  Fueled by a mixture of coffee, 5 hour energy, blood, sweat, and tears we made it on time.  We fought through rain, sleet, and snow at the top of the mountain, and faced bad news of cancelled events and low attendance due to wheather.  The news was hard to hear, but we decided to make the best out of it and ended up being a kick ass weekend.  The highlight of the trip was after the death defying gondalla ride to the top of the mountain for My-G and Dilated Peoples the Yowie almost kissed a girl!  Finally!  Stay tuned in for the WCI Highlight video, currently being cut and pasted into production!
