Athlete Minded: Stories

Current BMX racer and bronze medalist at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, Donny Robinson joins us today.  This episode was amazing because we not only talked about how he got started in BMX, but also how he became one of the top racers in the world by the time he was 19 years old. He had sponsors since he was young, but it's interesting now when he says how some are not sponsoring him anymore because his career is coming to a close.  He also discusses the injuries he had, and how serious they were. It shows he has great intentions by the fact he really just wants the younger athletes to get outside on their bikes, and runs a "Pedals to Medals" program to help young riders.  That website can be found at: pedals2medals.com
