    Stop! It's just a placebo! They don't know it actually works so this can't be true...

    I once ran outta water so I just snorted 2 lines of BerryBuzz Tailwind.....PR'd the rest of the ride and didn't sleep for 2 days.

    I've seen the military drill/LSD experiment films, so I pretty much know what will happen. :Roflmao:laugh: Hash House Harriers have it down...you gotta train for this stuff! Tailwinds could help after a late night (or early morning) of swilling Headwind and staging control burns.

    If I see any of you whip out a syringe mid-ride, I’ll know we’ve gone around the bend...

    I’ve used it after a night of heavy drinking... which at my current beer fitness level, means 2.

    He saw "Buzz" on the label, and thought it was worth a shot.

    I managed to sneak a bar anyway, even though food is now so overrated!

    So that's a lot less than others are recommending. More of a maintenance level?
    I don't cramp, don't salty sweat, just looking at it more for the calories.

    Well at least you're not calling it Tailwind's....

    I think you meant "...no issue's with the gut..." you know, because plural's require apostrophe's...:confused: o_O (face palm)

    Ordered 1 bag. If it makes me push up these climbs without using bailout, they need to use me in advertising.

    It's called Tailwinds because there are multiple "tailwinds" in every package. Feel better now?

    Personally with all the free advertising Tailwind's is getting here, I think that Tailwinds should be paying us!

    And so we come full circle, and the circle is unbroken. Except by the occasional gust of wind from the gut. Or something.

    That is about what is recommends on the bag, 2-3 scoops per 21oz bottle. At this level the taste wont get bad, if its hotter, every other bottle might have an extra scoop.

    I had to go and re-read your original comment... I read it as one scoop per 100 oz of water! Basically one scoop for a Camelbak!
    I now see the error of my ways...

    Alright, I know everyone here has been wondering why Danimal hasn't chimed in. So here goes..

    I agree with all this. I use tailwind in my camel Bak, and find all this to be true. No longer need it even want gels etc on a ride, and do not get cramps either. However I do carry a bar just in case. There have been times when I was hungry and wanted to chew something.

    Flavor of choice of the Mandarin orange.
    :thumbsup::thumbsup:

    With two thumbs up how can you not want to try it! Go get yourself some....




    I was not paid or compensated for this review...( Now where is that damn check they sent)

    I have 2 packs of Tailwind (that I am not using). I generally do not do long enough rides to need it. Tried it a few times on shorter rides and it erased my appetite which was bad. Maybe it could aid in dieting where appetite reduction is a goal?

    I am going to hang on to some of it for big rides I will eventually do but I should give my unopened bag away before it expires. BTW, how long does this stuff last once a bag is opened (and kept well sealed)?
