Amazing stunt! But I still won't be drinking Red Bull.

I love all the crazy stuff Red Bull do, but no amount of back flipping over peletons could compel me to drink that muck.

So you never drink any fizzy sugary drinks or coffee then?

Red Bull does have an interesting taste, and it certainly isn't something you should be drinking loads of, but you could say the same about cola or coffee.

Biggest issue I have with Red Bull is the price, and the fact that little is done to limit consumption by children (I regularly see school kids down cans of the cheap equivilents during lunch breaks).

As for the stunt, pretty cool, particularly as he did it on a road bike and landed it.

The supermarket nearest my office, which is also near a couple of local secondary schools, has actually age-restricted all of those high caffeine drinks (Red Bull, Monster, etc etc).  It did throw me a little the first time, when the 'serve yourself' machine called for help when I tried to buy one.  Apparently the store had decided to make a stand because the schools had complained, with all the kids stopping in to sugar up and make sure they were sufficiently caffeinated before school started...

I'd say thats quite a responsible attitude. Unfortunatly round my way they dont do this an seem to knock back cans like water, I tried a small can, bar tasting like super sugary calpol it left me feeling pretty unwell after from the amount of sugar an caffine.
