Fair point.
I don't have anything against Red Bull in particular and I'm well aware of how sponsorship works. I just feel that 'extreme' sports these days are completely over saturated by Red Bull/GoPro branding.
That being said, the event officials Red Bull tend to employ are known have been fucking imbeciles in the past. A quick watch of Nicholi Rogatkin's brutal crash at Red Bull Rampage last year, followed by Red Bull representatives egging him to carry on his run despite the fact he was most likely concussed is a pretty prime example. mpora.com/mountainbiking/most-brutal-mountain-bike-crash-ever-nicholi-rogatkin-just-fell-down-a-30ft-cliff-then-walked-away

Oh, I hadn't heard about the concussed chap.
My main problem with Red Bull is that it tastes and smells disgusting. At least it's relatively new and has done well to find a niche in an overcrowded market, and rather than just crap ads on telly they do entertaining stuff like this.
