Kevin was recently featured on the news in his hometown of Providence, RI. He’s trying to make things better for the kids where he grew up and is doing a great job at it. Take a look below.

The K-Rob Foundation is hosting their 2nd Annual Ride With K-Rob Day in Providence, RI on May 20, 2012.

Check their facebook and website for more info on this amazing event. HEAL will be there as a vendor and look forward to seeing a lot of new people this year.

If you follow either K-Rob or Scotty Cranmer on twitter, you would have scene some trash talking between the two regarding the recent Superbowl. With Kevin being from the state of RI, he obviously is a Patriots fan. Scotty being a Jersey resident, was going for the Giants.

Since both are good friends and good sports they decided to put a friendly wager on the game with the fan of the losing team having to clean the other ones bike at this year’s X Games in front of everyone – apron, gloves, and all. As everyone knows, the Giants won leaving Kevin with the chore of cleaning Scotty’s bike during X Games. Below is a nice little edit describing the bet and some trash talking between the two as the game was unfolding.
