Not on purpose but I totally want to learn them.

I put my phone in a plasic bag to protect it from dirty spots. I won't set my phone on anything that isn't "clean" and by clean I mean a spot that I have control over and I know that there's nothing dirty on it. I can place my phone wherever if it is in a plastic bag because the inside of the bag is clean. It's complicated, but it's just one of my things.

I cannot change the rules for this contest ColdRiver, even for Hoff. Please read the fine print and tell Tony to go buy headphones instead of ballerina suits.

I was more pumped than I thought I would be. If Tony wasn't a good guy before, he definitely is a person that is good for BMX and for me. He's trippin' a bit on all this BMX science and I'm going to laugh him off the track when he shows up in a skin suit, but like I told him, he looks amazing already and it was only his first race back. Tony will be a threat in AA Pro and I'm calling some good talks will happen with him.

I'm sure I did. I crashed all the time when I was young.

Probably the Olympics. It was just a culmination of everything that has gone into my career.

He has his moments haha.

Not that I know of. I might not be here today if that had happened.

Nice question Robert. I see that you and your friends share freely the conversations that I have with them. I guess that's what I get for talking with Fresno's BMX group who don't have much else to do but gossip. I am happy to answer your question, if I knew the answer. However, I doubt it would be anywhere close to Robert ColdRiver. We shall talk about this more in depth at the race.

First lap of the Olympics. I was in like 3rd and going through the rhythm. Crashed all by myself and looked like a major dork, all on world wide television.

Yes Alan told me. Precious. :)

Um heck yes! Your mom will get over it. Take the wheels, cranks/gear/bottom bracket, brakes off and put towels around the forks and rear of frame and you are golden. It's such a good way to learn tricks and some decent exercise too.

First of all BMX Racing is my passion and the simple joy I get from just riding my bike is unreal. Couple that with the fact that I'm super competitive means that I want to be the best BMX Racer ever. Drugs, parties, drinking and other unhealthy stuff is the norm in kids' lives, they are surrounded by it and when kids don't have a direction or something to live for, they get sucked into those things. I have a goal and I'll do whatever it takes to attain it. Granted, I'm not the kid that likes partying anyway but that's not the only thing. There are kids out there that don't party but they still lack the motivation to be successful at something and you see those kids sitting on the couch doing nothing. It is imperative to find a solid group of friends that are goal oriented and that will keep you moving in the right direction and progressing. Basically, God has blessed me with the gift of riding a bike, positive peers, and the ability to work towards goals without being distracted by negative things. Always have somewhere to go. You should never reach a destination and be satisfied with it. Whether it's having to do with music or baseball or art or BMX, find your passion and work towards great things. Never let anyone tell you what is or isn't possible.

Squats, deadlifts, leg curls, abs, upper body stuff, plyometrics, sprints and a lot of racing. Pretty basic stuff.

Haha not sure. My girl wants November of this year but I'm not in a huge rush.

It would take a while to list and remember everything. Off the top of my head right this second, here are a few: -Olympic Bronze -Being on McDonald's cups/bags -On the Today Show a couple times -Meeting Bart Taylor and Cru Jones from the movie RAD -Being on Mad Money w/ Jim Cramer -Being sponsored by McDonald's, Hershey, Kellogg, Nike, at&t, etc. I've been real blessed with my life and I'm lucky that I have many moments to choose from.

Ok here's a list. -classified -classified -eat healthy stuff -classified -have fun Just kiddin'. I do weights like squats and deadlifts and leg press. I also do a variety of plyometric exercises and then of course sprints on the street and riding at the track. Not all that stuff is meant for all ages. Being 13 I would recommend what I did when I was 13. I did grass sprints and hill sprints and quarter mile sprints. Do 20 sprints about 60 yards long of both grass and hill sprints. Then go to your school and do sprints around the running track. I'd say do about 6 straight away sprints and then go for 4-6 complete laps around the track without stopping pedaling. Do hills twice a week, grass sprints twice and those sprints at the school twice a week. Make sure to ride your local track at least twice a week too.

It was a Boss. It's now my trampoline bike. For some reason it still fits me...

I'm not sure if I'll be in TN this year, but bring that mag wherever you go and I promise I'll get it signed for you one day.

All the interviews and stuff I did in Bakersfield should definitely be on the video page here at Go211 within the next week I assume. Unless I did a horrible job and they can the whole thing haha. Tony's interview was probably my favorite.
