My names Roy Winkelman. 17 years of age and a professional Bmx rider. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA and this is always where Im going to be. Im a pretty fun and simple kid who just tries to enjoy living life to it's fullest.
I pretty much listen to music that most of you have never even heard of. I love listening to the smaller Indie rock bands that arn't well known yet. Their music has that certain feeling and flow that's perfect to ride trails or park to, or anything really. Music contributes a huge part to how I live my life.
Right now my biggest hopeful is to get a major in Film Production and/or a Bachelors degree in Film Editing. I love to edit videos and its what Im doing when Im not riding. Im hoping I can turn it into a career someday and still stay in BMX. If I did turn it into a career I would get away from shooting racing and get into the more true BMX field. Park, Street, Dirt, and everything around that. Traveling the world with nothing but a bike and a camera and a bunch of amazing riders. Can't figure out a better way to live my life.
Just the thrill. All the things I get to see, all the people I get to meet. When you win you just feel like youve accomplished something great, makes you want to train more so you can win more.
What is there not to like? BMX is like my second family. Its MY LIFE. I just love everything about it and everything in it. Nothing could ever change that. All my life I'm going to be surrounded by this sport. I never want to let go. Just the environment, makes you feel good, and welcomed. BMX Racing is what I just love to do. and everyone else that races feels the same way. We're all different, yet alike in strange ways. BMX, is my family, and my life.
