That's probably a kind word for it. On some levels, it seems kind of a silly way to shill..... well... let's face it, it's a freakin' "energy" drink.

On some levels, I think Red Bull needs to start sponsoring smoke jumpers and Coast Guard rescue swimmers... basically that small intersection on the Venn diagram where insanity overlaps altruism.

From the movie, The Guardian:

Capt. Frank Larson: Out of the 39 000 men and women that make up the United States Coast Guard there are only 280 rescue swimmers. This is because we are the Coast Guard's elite. We are the best of the best. When storms shut down entire ports, we go out. When hurricanes ground the United States Navy, we go out. And when the holy Lord himself reaches down from heaven and destroys his good work with winds that rip houses off the ground, We. Go. Out.

Ben Randall: [Later in private, quoting him:] "When God rips houses off the ground?"

Capt. Frank Larson: I was rollin'.

ATB,

That is crazy. The least they could do is mark the trail better to prevent some of those injuries, crashes.

Strangely enough, I think the unmarked trail is part of Redbull's deal!
