Donny Robinson hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to staying on his bike. Injuries have plagued the Monster rider the last couple of years. Donny crashed again in Papendal at the World Cup but managed to get to the semi final before he did so. Although limping and in pain at the end of the day, the American was happy about the progress. Final next time? Here's what he thinks of the Papendal track.What did you hear about the track before you made it to Papendal?
Donny: I heard that it would be the biggest and most difficult track we have ridden to-date.
Did you try to find videos of it to see what it was like before you went to Holland?
Donny: Absolutely. I wanted to see what I was getting myself into.
When you arrived at the track, what was your first opinion?
Donny: I thought the box jump was very intimidating. Other than that, I felt comfortable with most everything else.
