BMX has lost another legend… Rest In Peace, Kevin Robinson!
It’s never easy getting news that somebody has passed away. Today we have found out that BMX has lost Kevin Robinson to a stroke according to a Rhode Island news station. Kevin is one of those riders that was a legend on and off the bike from his years of being a pro rider, setting world records and crushing it on the vert ramp in the X Games to the work he has been doing with the K-Rob Foundation helping underprivileged children get involved with sports. Kevin had retired a few years ago, but has been very much active in BMX from doing shows to being a commentator and analyst for ESPN and the X Games. Kevin was 45 at the time of his passing and leaves behind his wife and 3 children. Rest In Peace, Kevin… You left your mark on the BMX history pages and will never be forgotten. Below you can find a few words from Mat Hoffman who has been a lifetime friend and sponsor of Kevin’s. You can also find some words from Brian Tunney over on the X Games website as well.
“We are completely shocked, like the rest of our world is. Kevin had the biggest heart. He is eager for every day. Like he was a little kid going to a carnival. He is enthusiastic for every step he took. He is the proudest parent, loyal, loving, caring and tough as hell. He is one of a kind. He could have the softest heart, but may kick your ass, but only because he loved you. There is no one as tough and sweet as KRob. We will forever miss you. My heart is broken. I give every bit of love I have to Robin, Shaye, Kevin and Riley. I’m so sorry. I’m crushed. I Love You.” – Mat Hoffman
