That is not the one I saw on network TV, there was only about 10 seconds of skiing in the one I saw but was still great to see! We only have an attention span of 16.95 sec. anyway.

We saw the one @Wish posted while at a restaurant yesterday morning for breakfast.

 

T-Gas is also a featured athlete on 5 Hour's website.........

Huge exposure for our sport from TGas once again. He did a stint on the Italian Dancing with the starts as well last year. He is now a house hold name in Italy how I understand it.

After listening to him a little on the mic at Diablo, I thought it was funny that he put on an American accent for the 5hour En commercial. It was thick Italian at Diablo. :) And who made the vest and gloves. Very cool for the sport.

Vest was a Eagle

Saw it several times during Monday night football

I like how the commercial conveys the "extremeness" of the sport- I'm still not going to drink the stuff though.

[ScarletArrow]

The only time I drink 5hr energy is when I'm driving all night from Ohio to Orlando. I pop one at 10p.m. and another at 2 a.m. to get me through. Bless you T-gas!

I have been sponsoring 5 hour energy for a while still waiting for my pink vest!

[thager]

That would go nice with your pink speedo! : )

As a once one a day drinker of 5 hour energy I can attest that the stuff works pretty well for the most part and is incredibly convenient. However it has a tendency to give you a little to much to quick so that you feel jittery instead of energized. Now I only drink them when I'm on long road trips or early ski mornings.

[teammalibu]

1/2, in the morning and 1/2, an hour before i ski in the afternoon. Much cheaper by the case! I dont drink any caffeine other wise!

The commercial that I saw, t-gas was seen skiing for only about 2 seconds or less, shocked me to see waterskiing in the commercial though. I had to rewind the DVR to be sure of what I saw.

@RazorRoss3 -i have a skier friend who used to play in the main event of the world series of poker which is a total marathon with long hours of poker at a time and he used 5 hour energy drink by sipping a little bit every once in a while thru out each session. said he went thru may be 2 or 3 bottles a day over 12 hours of play and said it kept him up with the young guys like nothing else could.

Kudos to T-gas for actively landing 5-Hour Energy as a non industry sponsor for himself and the sport.

[RazorRoss3]

@mwetskier, wow... I'm pretty sure the bottle says not to exceed 2 per day. Not like I haven't gone through three in a day over the course of a 3 round slalom tournament before but not in a few years. I make no argument to the claim that 5 hour energy wakes you up I've just personally tried to cut back a little. I do agree with the concept of not chugging the thing down, I've found half now half in a little while moderates the jittery side effect fairly well.

Saw the commercial today while watching hockey. Awesome to get some press for waterskiing - even of only for a little bit. It ought to catch the eye of someone right?!
