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.

-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.

"WIN DONNY ROBINSON'S JERSEY"
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
