  Bobby McMullen is an extreme athlete who remains competitive despite (or perhaps because of) the loss of his vision, years of dialysis, two double transplants (kidney/pancreas), and having broken more bones than he can list.  Bobby has been a world champion alpine skier, though his current "life support" is the mountain bike. He embraces life with optimism and humor that is contagious, and imparts that enthusiasm to audiences worldwide.



  Three films featuring Bobby have recently been released:  The Way Bobby Sees It (Poison Oak Productions, 2008); Kranked 8: Revolve and Look to the Ground (a six-minute short), both from Radical Films  (2009).  They are currently being screened at film festivals throughout the world. You can see Look to the Ground at the followig link:

  Bobby is available for appearances at film screenings, motivational/keynote speaking engagements, or for more lengthy engagements that include speaking, riding and sharing life experiences with event participants.  He is a popular speaker at conferences, athletic events, school activities and fundraisers. Bobby is inspiring, smart, and a seriously funny guy. He is a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Athlete Speaker's Referral Network.



  Please visit Bobby's website, www.RideBlindRacing.com for interview clips, movie promos, and photographs.  Please contact me if you are interested in working with Bobby, or if I can provide any further information.



  Very truly yours,
