“A Champion in Balance.” A professional BMX Racer measuring in at 5 foot 5 inches and a buck fifty, Donny Robinson looks the part of the consummate underdog. Originally from California, “dR” is a BMX national champion, and with the trip to Beijing right around the corner, he’s not planning on slowing down. Donny began at age five at the Napa Valley BMX track, during the summer of 1989. In 1996 he was named as one of "The 10 Hottest Amateurs" and future top Pro BMXers by BMX Plus! BMXdebuts as an Olympic sport in 2008, opening new doors for Donny including additional sponsors and cutting edge training techniques. For a year Donny has lived by these rules: a strict diet, strong faith and plenty of family time.
