Roy Winkelman | 16 Years of age | San Diego, CA

Born on the date of October 21st, 1991. Through his whole life he has had many desires/hopes/dreams, and just random hobbies that didn't tend to work out. Such as paintball, R/C cars, slot cars, go-carts, Magic, photography, golf and many others. It's hard for him to set his mind on one thing. He played baseball for 8 years, and loved the sport until he found something else. He found the sport of BMX, and has loved it even more since he started at the age of 8. It forced him to quit baseball and continue his passion of racing. Racing was all he wanted to do, yet he still found one more hobby to do on his down time. He started creating videos late 2005. His first film was called "Power Wheelie". A twenty minute video filled with the best BMX races from 2005 and random videos off of the internet. Later in the year of 2006 he also started making what some call "Sponsor Me" videos for his friends, which are videos of only that particular person. He didn't even start recording his own races till early July 2007. He managed to use videos of races off the internet, and create them as if they were his own. People loved them. He didn't think it was right to use someone else's videos even though he gave them full credit, they weren't necessarily HIS videos. He spent $2,300 dollars on a HDV Sony Camcorder, now he can take his videos to new heights. A month after purchasing his camera, he decided to break away from the BMX for a bit and start creating his own short films to publish up on YouTube.com, even though BMX racing is what he loves to film.

You never know what he's going to do next. He's a mad man, you can't stop him from living his dream.

And why am I talking in 3rd person? Sounded cool at the time huh? haha
