Mike Metzger \\u00bf will be rockin&amp;#8217; the glowing green ripped &amp;#8220;M Claw&amp;#8221; logo this weekend when the 10th annual ESPN Winter X Games opens for competition on Buttermilk Mountain this in Aspen, Colo.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Metzger, 30, brings to the table a cache of five X Games medals in freestyle motocross, including gold from the Summer &amp;#8217;02 X Games and &amp;#8217;03 Winter X Games. Insane as ever, Metz will no doubt be one of the favorites to podium at the most crowded of all the Winter X events \\u00bf FMX on Saturday night.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Metz can roll out of a hospital bed onto a bike and win,&amp;#8221; said Crown AMG&amp;#8217;s Scott Sepkovic, spokesman for Monster Energy Drink. &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;d just like him to roll out of his hotel bed and win.&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Sidelined with an injury for much of 2004, Metz will arrive in Aspen not only as a medal favorite, but also as one of the favorite athletes with the fans \\u00bf all sports included.&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve been buying Monster by the can at the gas station on the way into work and was thinking `Why am I paying Monster to drink their product when they could be paying me?,&amp;#8221; said Metzger. &amp;#8220;Then it dawned on me that I haven&amp;#8217;t competed in over a year. (laughs) So yeah, I&amp;#8217;m definitely down with Monster&amp;#8217;s product. I always run the original, the wife like the Lo-Carb and my kids dig that Khaos flavor. It&amp;#8217;s all good with Metz &amp;#038; Monster!&amp;#8221;&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Monster Energy supports the sport. Be it motocross, surf, skate, snow, BMX \\u00bf name it \\u00bf the athletes are rockin&amp;#8217; Monster Energy more than anything these days.
