Friends on 34th …
Last week, Roxy skier Sarah Burke and snowboarder Torah Bright stopped by the office to take part in our new favorite game show: Friend vs. Reporter. Check it out.
And while you’re at it, get into Olympics mode with my piece on BMXer Donny Robinson, which ran in this issue of the mag—along with never-before-seen video of Robinson’s own high school musical.

A Record Truly Meant to be Broken
Reporting From … The Red Bull K-Rob Experiment
Records are meant to be broken. In most sports, records are also meant to be revered, discussed at length and argued about heatedly after one too many beers at the corner pub. A record is not, however, meant to be humbly handed over out of respect for the athlete who is attempting to break it. Last night, I believe that is what I witnessed. And, although I also believe this will be argued about by sport purists in the days to come, it was perhaps one of the most impressive feats of sportsmanship I have ever encountered.

Everybody’s Somebody
Last week, I was in Napa, California (I know. Rough assignment.) to meet up with Olympic BMX hopeful Donny Robinson. Donny grew up in Napa and lives at home when he’s not traveling to races. Although he’s well known in BMX circles, he’s virtually unknown to the mainstream sports world. For that reason, no fewer than five times we had this conversation …
Donny: You didn’t come out here just to interview me?
Me: Yes, Donny. That’s my job.
Donny: Really? For me? I’m a nobody.
Me: Maybe not for long.
