A Red Bull athlete, Taylor Robert started racing dirt bikes at the age of four, and his youth was spent as a regular on the motocross track, taking part in many amateur nationals. He admits he was never the fastest racer on the track, but he improved throughout the years and became a consistent top-five finisher in his class. At 15, Robert suffered several broken vertebrae at an amateur national event. Little did he know that this accident would serve as a turning point in his career. During his recovery, Taylor became less interested in motocross and more interested in the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS), which his father had also participated in.

In 2006, he raced the full series and by 2008, he had secured the Pro2 class championship and earned a spot on the podium in his first pro race. Taylor entered the pro ranks full-time in 2009, where he won a race and finished fourth in points. By 2012 he had won his first WORCS pro championship and began branching out into other races around the world, including X Games, endurocross, ISDE, Baja, beach races in Argentina, and select extreme enduro events. He has collected three gold medals from ISDE and has been the top placing American for a number of years.
