About the Monster Army

Most companies spend their money on ad agencies, TV commercials, radio spots, and billboards to try and tell you how good their products are. At Monster we choose to support the scene and our athletes. Who dreams about landing a 9 to 5 job? We all dreamed about being pro athletes, musicians and living the lifestyle that makes us who we are.

Monster Army is Monster Energy's athlete development program that currently focuses on supporting up and coming athletes ages 13-21 in moto, bike, snow, skate, surf and wake. We know it takes talent and support to make your dream a reality, so we created the Monster Army to back the next generation pros…the future Ricky Carmichael, Danny Kass, Ryan Villapoto, Tom Wallisch, Scotty Cranmer and Nyjah Huston's. Check out X games, dew tour, supercross or any moto/surf/skate/snow/BMX magazine and you will see firsthand Monster Army's impact on action sports.

Every athlete in the Monster Army is an important piece of the Monster Energy brand. From the elite ams and pros to the local groms, we hand pick athletes from all over the world to bring into our program to grow with our brand. Many factors go into our selection criteria. Sport, location, skill level, other sponsors and marketing value are all equally important. If enlisted, we provide varying levels of support (a.k.a. 'Rank' in the Monster Army) to get you Monster Energy product, exposure and event bonuses through our Paid to Podium program. Want in? Join the Monster Army.
