You've been racing BMX since you were 6 years old, did you see riding BMX as a great way to grow up?
Donna: I grew up around BMX and bikes in general. My Dad raced when he was a kid and my brother raced for most of his life, so it is in my blood! BMX has taught me a lot and kept me in shape so I am glad I got into the sport.

You wear a lot of hats, but also you wear a crown sometimes. Let us know what titles you won as a model?
Donna: In 2008 I won the title of Miss Sarasota, this was my first title. Next, I became Miss southwest Florida in 2009 and then finally Miss Florida 2010. I went to the Miss United States pageant in July 2010 and made top ten. I was happy with that! 

VSI Products, Inc. is proud to announce that it is once again a title sponsor of the top Factory and Shop Teams in the country. For 2011, VSI will once again sponsor Rennen/Intense, J&R Racing and Intense/Spinzz. “We think it’s really important to give back as much as possible to the sport and support those riders who have worked hard and made it to the top of their classes. In this business that isn't always easy to do. But even though business has been rough during this economic downturn, I know making a living racing BMX is even tougher,” said Toby Henderson, VSI’s founding partner.

“We’re committed to supporting the best riders with great product and getting it to them when they need it throughout the entire season. We’ve built a reputation as a reliable sponsor that makes reliable frames, components and safety gear and we’re really happy all our teams came back to us for next season. They are all top-notch teams with the world’s best riders. It’s an honor to support them,” Henderson added.
