Born in Santiago, Chile, Rodriguez started getting into BMX at the age of three and motocross by five. He has continued to be a great example of his faith to his friends and fellow racers. Rodriguez doesn’t race on Sundays, even though that’s when the best prizes are awarded. He also makes sure to pray before each race.
