Bartram, Kenny

After racing professional motocross for several years, “Cowboy” Kenny Bartram decided to try his hand at freestyle. And since that day, he has become one of the most accomplished riders in the sport.

Bartram’s achievements include 11 X Games and Gravity Games medals, four of them being gold. The KTM rider is also the 2002 and 2003 IFMA Champion, 2003 WFA Freestyle and Big Air Champion, and the 2002 Vans Triple Crown Champion. He also won the 2003 Red Bull X-Fighters, and most recently he became the first Dew Action Sports Tour Champion in 2005.

Of his 2005 season, Kenny says, “I got an X Games silver medal in Freestyle, a gold at the Gravity Games Freestyle, and Bronze in Big Air. And in the Dew Action Sports Tour I took three wins in the series and won the overall Dew Cup Championship. And after my Dew Cup win, I got to go ride with Chris Cagle and his band for a few of their tour dates.”
