Ethan Brown is one amazing athlete exploding into the spotlight of triathlon. After a successful college cross country career, he won the U23 National Championship last year, and defended his title winning again this year. He's traveled all over the world, representing Team USA, and doing an absolutely fantastic job. We at Fluid are very proud to call him one of our sponsored athletes! Here is a video performance of Ethan competing recently in San Luis Obispo, CA (our hometown) at Scott Tinley's Triathlon, check it out!



Great job Ethan!!

The JEEP 48 Straight downhill mountain biking series wrapped up in San Luis Obispo this last Saturday and Fluid was there to provide these amazing riders with some much needed Recovery.



The surfing legend Tim Curren stopped by to check us out and say what's up as well.



The sky was full of sunshine, the air was warm, and the wind was waining. Perfect weather compliments to the sweet sounds of Brett Dennen. If you haven't had a chance to check this kid out, head over to his website and give him a listen.

Another wonderful weekend filled with Cyclocross Racing in Southern California. Team Fluid was rockin' out at the races! There is something magical about an ice-cold cup of Fluid after a cross race!

SPOOKY CROSS, Irvine California
Saturday, October 25th 2008

This was an insane evening. If you were not there, it's hard for us to put it into words. This was a night-time cross race under the lights. Right in the middle of the course was the Boost Mobile Free-style Motocross performers. These guys were doing back flips over a bus while racing was going on! It was absolutely nuts! The fields were huge, the racing fierce, and the costumes well.... revealing. Nothing like a banana-hammock on a cold evening!

BLACK CAT Urban CROSS #2, Torrance CA

A perfect day for racing cross! The Urban Series continues to impress! The race was help in Torrance, just minutes from the south bay beaches, and it was tough! Each lap had a 100ft sand dune that needed to be "run-up." The rest of the course was fast with loose turns, and a ton of sand! The race also followed with a kids race, that had nearly 50 kids duking it out over a short course! It was wonderful to see such a great turnout! We are excited about the next event, and we hope to see you out there!

At Fluid HQ, we look forward to feedback on our products every day. Here's a great testimonial we just received from a long time endurance athlete and coach that we'd like to share with you:

------------------------------
Dear Fluid,

I just wanted to take the time to let you know my feelings on your product.  I got a jug of Tropical Escape a few weeks ago and I'm just getting a chance to use the product regularly.It's the BEST TASTING recovery drink I've ever used. Period. I used to really like Powerbar Recovery but your product puts it away for good. I'm stoked about the fact that you use whey protein, but the whey formula in your product mixes so well and doesn't end up clumpy and gross like other drinks I've tried (especially Recoverite). It almost gives the drink a creamy flavor. The L-Glutamine really seals the deal. I discovered that Glutamine was key for my muscle recovery several years ago. It's nice to find a company that sees its importance as well.In the future I'm going to do some tests to see how your product will work for me as nutrition during long endurance events such as half ironman and long road races.Anyway, I hope you find my feedback helpful and encouraging. Keep up the good work and look forward my improved training and performance now that I'm hooked on Fluid!

Sincerely,
Nathan Chaszeyka
