Donny Robinson is the epitome of the word determination. If you want to make sure he fails at something, don't tell him he can't do it. The guy's made a career out of proving people wrong. He is living proof of how far hard work, mental toughness, and a never-say-die attitude can take you. He took everything that was put into his 5'5" frame and turned it into BMX success, starting with an incredible amateur career and now his Pro career. In 2006, dR was unstoppable, winning just about every race he entered, culminating in a bag of titles including the NBL National #1 Elite Men's title, the UCI Supercross World #1 title, as well as Transworld's NORA Cup Racer of the Year. In June 2007 at the inaugural U.S. National Championships of BMX Donny brought home the Gold Medal. dR's sights are now set on the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, China, where BMX Racing will make its Olympic debut. Donny is a front-runner to not only make the '08 US Olympic team, but also do his country proud by bringing home the Gold medal. So, if you find yourself on the gate next to him, don't tell him he can't beat you-you have no idea what you just unleashed.

Forbes Sports Money, school visit, and others.

Tue, 16 Dec 2008 - Posted at 03:30:00 PM

So, I'm always thankful to BMX and my support staff because I've been a part of some awesome opportunities.  This TV show is no different.  It's called Forbes Sports Money.  This show just started and the first episode featured Shaun White, along with myself and covered how the economic downturn doesn't seem to be affecting the action sports industry.  Seriously as awesome segment and so thankful to have been a part of it.  Our segment starts about 8 minutes into the show.  Below are couple ways to view it.

 
 
If that link doesn't work then take the long way:
-At top of page scroll over video and click on YES Video.
-Scroll to bottom of page to the video archive section and click on the YES Network.
-Top of page in Search YES Archives go to November and click GO.
-Halfway down the page at 11/14 you'll see Forbes Sports Money segment, click to watch.
-My part comes in at about 8 minutes but the whole segment rocks!
 
Also, at the race in Tulsa some days ago, a few local stations aired stories about the race.  Here is a link to one of the station's stories.  I come in with a few words at 1:21.
 
Did a pretty decent phone interview with Sports Byline USA last Friday.  Another very cool way to help grow the sport.  Not sure if it will be archived on their website but I'll let you know.
 
Sports Byline USA is a national show heard on nearly 200 syndicated radio stations and reaches more than 2.5 million listeners per week, as well as 100,000 plus unique visitors each month to the web stream at sportsbyline.com. Additionally, Sports Byline USA is heard internationally on 500 stations on The American Forces Network as well as in Canada, the Virgin Islands and on Radio New Zealand.  Sports Byline is also available on the Cable Radio Network.
 
Check out BMXmania.com.  Scroll down a little until you see:

You can't miss it.  It's a contest!  Pretty cool... thanks Jerry.
 
Yesterday, I went and spoke to 4th and 5th grades at a school in Sonoma, CA.  Always good times.

 
And finally, last week I also flew from San Francisco to San Diego, back to San Francisco, then to Dallas, then do Denver, then home to Oakland, CA all to get my year-end status on United.  I'm happy to say I am now part of the United 100,000 mile flyer club.  Think that means I get dinged for only 1 checked bag now haha.
 
Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
 
Donny

How was your Christmas buddy? Did you get your sprints in? My house almost blew down from the wind but I bundled up like you told me and did them anyway.
