About Kevin
Driven and passionate in every aspect of life, Robinson has contributed much to BMX and now helps communities around his hometown of East Providence, RI, through his K-Rob Foundation. He was the first person to land a double flair, debuting it at X Games 2006; it took 9 years for anyone else to do it successfully. He owns 10 X Games medals, including 4 gold, and went 27 feet above a quarterpipe in 2008, higher than anyone has gone on a BMX bike. The 45-year-old has spent nearly 25 years pushing BMX progression, and he came out of retirement on Aug. 13, 2016, to attempt a Guinness World Record for longest power assisted bicycle backflip.
