X Games Harley-Davidson Flat Track Athlete Spotlight - Brandon Robinson

May 28, 2015

Note: AMA Pro Racing will be highlighting all 24 of the athletes racing in X Games Harley-Davidson Flat Track, which will take place Thursday, June 4 at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, and be shown live on ESPN at 8:30 p.m. ET, 5:30 p.m. PT.

Brandon Robinson has wasted no time establishing himself as one of the top competitors in AMA Pro Flat Track. He has three Harley-Davidson GNC1 presented by Vance & Hines victories to his name at just 24 years old.

The Pennsylvanian has been the model of consistency in recent years as well. Dating back to 2012, he’s failed to race in just three main events – one each season. In 2014, he landed in the top five a total of five times en route to an eighth place showing in points. In 2013, he won three races and wound up third in points.

Based on that history, there’s no reason to think Robinson won’t be in the mix come June 4 at Circuit of the Americas for X Games Harley-Davidson Flat Track.

So far, he’s won the prestigious Springfield Mile twice – both in the same season – and won on the Short Track at DAYTONA Flat Track, so he’s not a one-trick pony.

He’s new to the Latus Motors/Castrol Triumph team in 2015 and is already showing speed. An X Games medal would only be another step in the upwards progression Robinson has shown.

In their words: “It’s awesome, it’s an international event, and it’s just cool to be with everyone in the action sports industry and to all be in one venue. It’s going to be cool to showcase flat track and hopefully, we do a good job and bring more fans to the sport.”
