Baller SkiJay Posted November 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2013 @ozski Haven't you heard? Fact: Caffeine, in moderation, is one of very few legal performance-enhancing drugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller PatM Posted November 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2013 Some coaches recommend a good jolt of caffeine before you ski. Especially when tired from skiing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted November 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2013 Low handle in the pre-turn :) How much caffeine is in one of those things anyway? How does it compare to a cup of coffee or a 12 oz diet coke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller MattP Posted November 19, 2013 Baller Share Posted November 19, 2013 It is. He has a good agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moggie Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 @MattP, no agent involved. According to Water Ski Mag the story goes... When Thomas Degasperi emailed 5-Hour Energy team manager Justin Blackman about the possibility of joining the team, he knew his chances were slim. “But what did I have to lose?” Degasperi says. “The worst thing he could say was no.” And that’s pretty much what was stated in Blackman’s email response, other than he was sending him some complimentary product. Degasperi politely thanked him for the free 5-Hour Energy samples and welcomed Blackman to his ski school in Windermere, Florida, if he was ever in Orlando. It just so happened that Blackman was going to be in town within a week of their email exchange, and he took the two-time world slalom champion up on his offer. One week later, Degasperi was teaching several new people how to ski behind his Malibu TXi and was giving Blackman a glimpse of how spectacular shortline slalom is and how he would be a great water-sports representative of the 5-Hour Energy brand. And just like that, a sponsorship contract was signed, and a couple months later, Degasperi was swerving for a national 5-Hour Energy commercial.
