Kevin Windham - The Jump

Just as media day is wrapping up, Kevin Windham maps out a 110 feet double for his famous opening ceremonies jump. We were lucky enough to have the camera rolling for everything that took place. After multiple runs at the jump, he hucked it. The time preceding up to it had everyone holding their breath with fingers crossed, as it has to be one of the sketchiest slash biggest jump for opening ceremonies KDub has done.

[@loganh33]

He actually retired because the bike was starting to have trouble hauling his balls around the track

[@bigpoppa4094]

loganh33 fucking sent that

[@deadgoatsracing234]

Lmao kudos to k dubb

[@superfly3990]

You got that Right ! They are all worried standing on the track talking about K-Dub's Giant Massive Cods @0:17. The Motor and Suspension on the Factory Honda had to be fitted with Military Spec components and Cheater Top-End for him and his Cods. Windham was a Legend !

Kevin Windham is one of the smoothest most technical riders to ever grace a dirtbike. He's also the greatest ambassador the sport of MX & SX will ever know. KDUB #14

[@jeffreinke5474]

true that love Kevin

[@cambo6911]

@Kiryufan That's awesome bro, definitely no need to be surprised though, he's a very cool dude, very approachable.

[@iceKOId]

AP kind of reminds me of Windham

[@Zoopitubull87]

"It's easy till it goes wrong" story of my life.

[@HermCore]

Windham had the most buttery smooth riding style. K-Dub & Mcgrath had the smoothest, sickest looking riding styles out of anyone in the '90's. They were definitely the 2 riders I tried to emulate when it came to my riding style. His seat bounce whips always stood out to me too, they just looked so much better than everyone elses. Def an MX/ SX legend!

[@kentuckycountryboyredheadr4230]

Windham is a cool customer. I sat and had drinks with him at Denver Marriott bar in 2011. Just a bunch of guys drinking at a bar. The end of night I finally acknowledged who he was paid the bar bill. Both team Honda rigs were in the parking lot.

[@cambo6911]

Kentucky Country Boy I met Kevin in Washougal, he's a very cool dude. My favorite rider by far. 👍

[@maverick2242]

Kentucky Country Boy & Red Head Racing That’s an awesome story dude, one to tell the kids, nice work. Those guys from earlier days just way more chilled than the current crop prob why K dub had such a long career, good dude.

[@williamdavison6072]

Massive Airtime! Thank you for all the great years of racing Kevin Windham!!!

[@scottparsons2031]

I have had the honor of watching him race a couple times in Washougal Wa.

[@kevinmoore4887]

Those transfer jumps were amazing. Big enough for the AMA and FAA to be concerned. Did you file a flight plan?

[@lj362]

Kdub Is an absolute legend

[@stellastarr69]

Gonna miss seeing Kevin doing transfer jumps during opening ceremonies. Enjoy your retirement K-Dub!

[@pay2000]

No doubt one of those all time heros like Doug Henry, Guy Cooper...

[@dzlf2504]

Bob Hannah Jeremy McGrath

[@Piedmont_Regional_Outfitters]

Damon Bradshaw, Jeff ward

[@ridered7262]

Well said!

[@justlucky8254]

Absolutely! I always loved Coop and Henry! Remember the Fox gear ads in the magazines that showed Henry taking off his jersey and showing that enormous scar that went from basically his stomach near his waist and then around his side and up his back? The caption said "whats stopping you?" if I remember correctly. Dude was/is a hero in my book for sure!!

[@josedacunhafilho]

My all time favorite AMA racer, and I do miss the huge beard and hair. That was solid cool.

[@marcuslovelace5953]

Pretty much as far as possible in the building/ arena And yes incredibly smooth

[@richardchamberlain5177]

Love coming across this every once in a while

[@hawktuner11]

Kevin is one of my favorites, I miss seeing him at the race line. I would love to meet him one day.

[@shaquillewilson]

I met him back in 2009 and still have his sign poster on my wall 10 years later

[@markmcwilliams3767]

Man i remember him from when I was a kid he was the man

[@KyleSchwanz]

I was shooting the series and was there on press day, it was gnarly!

[@bmxf1]

F--king UNREAL!!! Kevin Windham is super sick the kid at the beginning is like "no way man" & that to me is the best part cause K-dubs almost twice his age. just shows you how gifted he is.

[@jojojnc]

Justin Bogle is the kid at the beginning and he is a beast and jumps most things first. So for him to be sketched out makes Kdub that much more amazing

[@joel387ktm]

beyond buttery smooth

[@bonniebankston9974]

Although awesome jump Kevin Windom tought me most of everything I know. Jason Falcon 76 I'd be not nervous racing Kevin but mad respect....!❤️🏁🇺🇲💯🚁

[@RichM0410]

One of the all time greatest!

[@Antmanmoto]

Living legend!

[@lex34ww]

Looks smooth!!!

[@hankcarver3219]

I watched him in Orlando citrus bowl. He did a huge quad trying to beat Jeremy McGrath .Kevin landed into a turn. I actually felt the thud of the impact it echoed in stadium he was a beast. I don’t know how he hung on. He pegged the throttle. Turned left and blasted after McGrath Jeremy won but damn Kevin windham was awesome!!!

[@rmrm1002]

Got to be a bubble off sometimes... Windham has done some of the wildest transfers!

[@parkerstyers4812]

Do I hear Hubert Rowland?

[@boxingscience8849]

Huge fan of Windham

[@CQ825]

He's the man hands down..

[@baby-sharkgto4902]

I was always surprised that his sponsors let him do the pre race jumps

[@goinhot9133]

You can hear them iron balls clanking together as hit that jump!

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

I'm 5' 2" and weigh 90 pounds. Would this be a first good jump for me to try?

[@MXWARREN22]

KING TROLL you might be dumb

[@TOMVUTHEPIMP]

brayden warren I think I can do the transfer too.

[@chocokuma4327]

+1 360

[@YFZriderdude15]

Fucking go for it bro. YOLO!

[@coolcatamapro9676]

It takes something that few people have and that is how to deal with fear and adrenaline every technique on riding a bike can be taught from jumping to turning the bike but you can't teach some one on how to deal with fear and the adrenaline that comes with it you either have that or you don't and if you have that you know it

[@pharmakon6]

I'd be stoked doing the setup berm2berm jump leading to the real jump!

[@cencoast_7.340]

So much air with balls so heavy...natural phenomenon

[@MXWARREN22]

Gonna miss you k-dub you da best

[@raptorboyz960]

i have no idea what is it but i think kevin is one of the best rider there will ever be , he has alot of heart into and love this sport , to me hes the greastest rider there will ever be i never seen any one like him ride before , he pushes, takes challenges doesnt quit. i mean look at him he is 34 years old he almost beat ryan villopoto hes 26. hey windham i hope you recover dont go hurting your self trying to be a hero , your my hero and im sure you are to many others.
