Jack Moir Picks Up Monster Energy Sponsorship

Oct 6, 2021
by James Smurthwaite  
Jack Moir was hungry for the win today but couldn t quite much the front running pace and slipped back to 4th.

Jack Moir has earned a Monster Energy helmet sponsorship following his season-long battle with Richie Rude for the EWS overall title. Jack announced the sponsorship on Friday night and raced at the EWS this weekend in his new helmet that had been painted the night before and driven up by Image Design Customs.

Moir is the third mountain biker to join the Monster Energy team in 2021 after Marine Cabirou and Camille Balanche also picked up green-striped helmets earlier this year. Moir becomes the third full-time enduro athlete to earn a Monster sponsorship alongside fellow Australians Jared Graves and Sam Hill.

Jack said, “I’m pumped to be riding for Monster! It’s always been a dream growing up to be repping a Monster lid at the races. They are always supporting such sick video projects outside of racing as well so I can’t wait to get something going on the content side of things.”

Now that the EWS season is officially over, what’s next for Moir? “Normally I would go home and go camping and surfing all off-season. But I’m going to have to get my shoulder fixed as soon as I’m out of quarantine. So probably a lot of chilling and rehab!”

 Does he listen to Limp Bizkit and puddle of Mudd though? Does he punch drywall? Does he have a lifted black dodge ram 3500? Sounds like a poser kyle to me.

 @brycemtb Give Jack a break, he only just got the sponsorship! I'm sure he'll be getting a 12" lift on his converted animal control camper and he has plenty of time this winter to punch drywall for shoulder rehab...while listening to Limp Bizkit and Puddle of Mudd, of course.

 People are quick to point out how bad energy drink consumption is, but having a few beers post ride is celebrated. Thankfully alcohol is good for you though.
  • 14 4
 This is certainly true.

You could argue that beer is more "natural" even if alcohol itself is more damaging than caffeine. It probably also has slightly healthier carbohydrates than all the sugars in energy drinks.

But yea, neither is great for you.

It's a real shame we don't have more sponsorship money in outside industries than energy drink manufacturers.

Natural does not at all mean good though. Tobacco and cyanide are natural. Toilets and soap are unnatural.

 Yeah- but Budweiser isn't sponsoring athletes with the claim that the product is beneficial for sports performance. Also, we don't see huge numbers of children able to grab a 6-pack from their local gas station and then head off to school. For sure both have risks and neither is going to be ideal through a myopic health focused lens. However, the energy drink market has really cleverly aligned themselves with popular athletes to children and youth, promoted their beverages as performance enhancing, do not disclose growing evidence for mental and physical health risks, and remain available and unregulated for use in children and youth... so these are two really different things you are talking about here. These are my concerns anyways and I do enjoy a beer after a ride.
  • 51 5
 Always the most mixed feelings with these. I hate energy drinks and their problematic use and blatant false advertising- especially with children and youth who are most vulnerable to the influence of role models or sponsored athletes. The drinks are horrible- huge links to increased anxiety concerns, sleep problems, diabetes and the list goes on (yes I am aware of some studies that show in some athletic settings there is some benefit... however this is not really how they are generally used is it?). However, I also love seeing athletes like Jack and Camille receive support and funding for all the damn work they have done. All of the athletes picked up by Monster are so deserving of support for their contributions to the sport and achievements. So Kudos to Monster for providing that support but I wish their was more accountability for making billions off something so problematic with little conscience about it... blah blah blah no one was forced to drink it, free agency, screw the nanny state... but still... in the work I do in mental health with kids the corner of the impact of these products I see is bleak.

 Always thought they were crap/crack until I tried a rebull without vodka recently and kind of liked it, honestly. Only got half way through it though and poured it out.

I'd never drink something based on what my favorite rider drank, but then again I'm not 10. Any extra $ these poor pros can get is a positive in my book. Moir certainly deserves it..

I can't even imagine what our sport would look like if they weren't sponsoring. Probably be still be watching freecaster and definitely wouldn't have the best event in our sport in my opinion: Rampage

  • 2 1
 I've worked for/with Red Bull for the past 10 years, and i've never heard water cans being a thing. Athletes are more than welcome to pour out the drink and refill with water on their own, but sealed cans of water are 100% not a thing.
  • 1 1
 @davidrobinsonphoto: they definitely had them at the CF Games. They even advertised it. Initially I thought it was weird that when athletes finished a round they cracked open a can of monster (later realised it was labelled as water) and poured it over their heads.

It’s a product they don’t sell, but have for athletes so they can be seen drinking from a can of Monster all the time.

Imm in a dilemma, I am against all these sweet and sugary drinks from a health standpoint (especially the marketing at younger kids/teens), but for great fuel for all the money that they put into sports and support for athletes across the sporting world. Same with Coca-Cola, Redbull, etc.

 @L0rdTom: energy drink usage has been correlated with PTSD, aggression, and mental health issues in US veterans: academic.oup.com/milmed/article/183/11-12/e364/5085551

 @Dogl0rd: Serving in the US military is also correlated with PTSD, aggresion and mental health issues. Crazy
  • 11 1
 @Dogl0rd: This is an interesting article, but it appears to be a perfect example of correlation =/= causation

"High energy drink use was associated with mental health problems, aggressive behaviors, and fatigue even when controlling for rank and sleep problems. These patterns were consistent across estimated quantitative measures of use (i.e., frequency and volume). In addition, moderate energy drink use was associated with aggressive behaviors and fatigue as well as depressive symptoms." - from the disucssion section

"First, this study is not able to determine causality since the correlations between energy drink use and health outcomes were based solely on one-time point. Thus, energy drinks may lead to an increase in mental health problems, aggression, and fatigue, or energy drink use may be a manifestation of these issues."

So basically military members who drink a lot of energy drinks also have mental health problems, aggression, fatigue, etc. But there is no data saying that energy drinks causes those behaviors or problems. Maybe it is that those personality types buy into the energy drink marketing? The association is there but the causation is not clear.

It's just a sugary drink with some caffeine. No worse for you than a sweet latte, except more convenient to grab on a long drive. Never heard anyone whinge about the coffee industry "pOiSoNiNg OuR cHiLdReN" though. If you're able to not give them coffee then, I don't know, don't give them energy drinks either. It was your decision to have kids, so you deal with them now and let other people live.

 So true. And isn’t it a coincidence that all the big soda companies suddenly started buying all the fruit juice and bottled water companies up a few years when people started to realise the effects of sugary drinks/tax them more.

 @bananowy: obviously you’re not aware of the power of advertising, especially with kids.

 @CustardCountry: I am, honestly. I'm not one of those guys who claim to be immune to marketing. Quite the contrary, I don't only sometimes fall for it in the traditional sense, but I also appreciate *good* marketing so much that I'll consciously buy into it in a "see what you did there, well done, take my money" kind of way. Which is a bit meta, but in the end it has worked on me, right?

All I'm saying is that while advertisers work to influence kids' minds, parents should always influence them more and that it's perfectly doable. If you can explain to your kids why they shouldn't binge on coffee, Coke or crisps, why they can't have every single latest toy they see on the Internet and why setting their BMX pallet jump on fire for a TikTok video is not the best idea, you can do the same with Monster. And it's your job to do it, not Jack Moir's.

 People need to stop talking not educated trash around energy drinks. In moderation they're perfectly fine, like most things. Caffeine, vitamins, with sugar or sugar-free, they're no worse than drinking coffee or expresso, which most people seem to drink like water these days. Personally I drink Monster or Reign before riding or training to give me the boost I need. Other than that I only ever drink water, no coffee, no alcohol, no soft drinks etc, just water, and I'm perfectly fit and heathly.

 @sb666: They aren't exactly as unhealthy as people make them out to be either, no worse than coffee with sugar.

I just simply wonder if there would be half this outrage if Jack got sponsored by a non-caffeinated soft drink brand like, idk, 7up? Or a coffee brand like Lavazza or Illy. Or even better - a beer brand. You know as well as I do that if he got sponsored by a brewery almost everyone here would be super stoked.

Of all the unhealthy things that get advertised everywhere every day, why do energy drinks get so much hate?

Hell, mtb athletes get endorsement deals with car manufacturers and there used to be whole teams like Volvo Cannondale and Trek VW! In the grand scheme of things cars have contributed to much more death, disease and destruction than energy drinks. Why is that OK and Monster is not?

[EDIT] There's actually one more thing that interests me. Do all the "drink water" evangelists here really never have alcohol, soft drinks, coffee, unhealthy-ish food, pre-workouts before gym and a load of other such stuff?

 I still don't understand how energy drinks companies even make money. I don't think I know anyone that has ever bought a can of the stuff, and they give so much away free at events that they must be haemorrhaging money. I once went to a night that had free energy drink cocktails all night, i.e. a double shot of booze plus a whole can of sugary liquid. All. Night. I've never felt so sick in my entire life. Anyway, if they've got loads of money to give talented riders, all for it

 @TimMog I raise my hand. I prefer energy drinks to coffee on night drives. And like the taste from time to time tbh. Surprised you felt so bad after vodka redbulls, it's one of the least hangover-inducing drinks for me hands down.

@catweasel very true, though it's not limited to manual jobs. Plenty of people in my office have an energy drink every now and then if they get bored of coffee. Everything in moderation. A one-off beer and kebab-fuelled night out won't kill me and neither will the odd redbull.

As for whether sponsorship is effective. While I obviously won't buy any energy drink just because of an athlete, when I actually do need/want one I pick redbull over the same thing in a cheaper can precisely because some part of my money supports mtb coverage and athletes.
