Trail Jesters KTM Racing

The Offroad Masters Championship is proud to announce a new youth-focused partnership with @trailjesters , a well-known name in American off-road racing known for developing and elevating some of the sport’s most successful riders in series including GNCC, National Enduro, US Sprint Enduro, JDay Offroad and the ISDE. Founded by Ross Mauri, Trail Jesters became one of the most respected teams on the East Coast, helping young athletes rise into the ranks of national and world champions. Over the years, their program became synonymous with mentorship, discipline, professionalism, and opportunity for emerging riders. That spirit now finds a new home within The Offroad Masters. With this partnership, Trail Jesters aims to continue its purpose-driven support of youth development, talent cultivation, and progression within off-road racing. “The Trail Jesters story has always been about seeing potential early and helping riders rise higher than they ever imagined,” said Mauri. “Even without an active race program, that mission doesn’t go away. We’re excited to support The Offroad Masters and support the next generation of champions competing out West.”

The End of an Era (2014-2023) Trail Jesters KTM Racing announces today that we have sunset our racing team this month. (Link to full press release in bio) The team was established in 2014 with six riders racing at the regional level in New England. In 2016 we brought Ben Kelley and Josh Toth up to race XC2 Pro 250 class in the Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) series. Success came quickly on the national stage and we continued to bring more riders to up to contend at the professional, amateur and youth level. Besides @benkelley530 and @joshtoth_ , notable riders @jg69rippa , @jesseansley_ , @simon_j118 , @braydennolette432 and @addiharris25 have all won AMA national championships. Johnny Girroir and @koriesteede have won FIM World Championships. In total, Trail Jesters riders and graduates have won 12 national championships and over 40 regional championships. At the world level Trail Jesters riders have won individual and team championships at the FIM International Six Days of Enduro (ISDE) and earned over 20 ISDE Gold Medals. “Trail Jesters has been an important east coast support team for us over the past decade. We want to thank Ross, and all his sponsors, for helping to develop a pipeline of talent for the KTM Group factory teams. And we also want to acknowledge the many national and regional championships Trail Jesters team riders have won for KTM over the years.” said Antti Kallonen, Director of Off-road Racing for KTM. “For me this has always been about rider development and providing a platform for growth. I'm so stoked that a handful of my riders would rise up far enough to be chosen to race for factory teams. In the end, we couldn't have done it without an amazing group of sponsors, mechanics, trainers, support crew and families. I want to thank KTM for their unwavering support and partnership. Finally, as we close this chapter ... I'm not quite done supporting our sport. But it is time to pass the torch and I'm looking forward to some exciting news as a new phase unfolds.” said Ross Mauri, Founder of Trail Jesters. #ktm #fmfpower #trailjesters

Roger De Coster is “The Man” to me … you all know he won five FIM 500cc Motocross World Championships and has been so much more to our sport throughout the decades. Roger won Unadilla many times across multiple different series including the 250cc and 500cc classes at Unadilla as part of the AMA Motocross Championships. His victories in these classes showcased his versatility and dominance in the motocross world during that period. This is my Roger story. After one particular 500cc win the fans surrounded the factory Suzuki box van … and 15 year old me looked down in the grass and saw a number plate laying there. That number plate quickly went under my tee shirt and traveled home with me. From then until A1 a couple years ago it remained with me but I never displayed it. I was embarrassed that I had stolen Roger’s plate. One day much later on in life I decided to give it back to him at upcoming A1 SX. I went in right when the pits opened because I knew I could find him somewhere before the chaos started and have quiet moment to return it. That moment came within 10 minutes of entering when I spotted him in an empty space near the KTM rigs. I got his attention and walked up … slowly pulling the plate out of a bag and ready to confess … when Roger’s face lite up like a kid seeing Santa Claus. He was genuinely smiling from ear to ear. I handed him the plate and told him about Unadilla and that I was sorry. Then the coolest thing happened … he said I should keep it and handed it back to me. What would you say next? I said can you sign for me please? Of course he did and after a few more words we parted. Me with a weigh off my shoulders and a piece of MX history that I now proudly display. [the program is from a Trans-AMA race but I wanted you to see the matched signatures] [writing this brought back great MX/Offroad memories starting in 1972 … I may tell some more stories some day]

I am truly speechless. It is hard to put to words the emotion, but I will try. This project was a labor of love. From start to finish, I gave it everything I had. Every piece of me. We pushed HARD. We pulled all-nighters. We didn’t settle. We didn’t give up. We did what we do best; we told the real authentic raw story. The women were top notch. They were vulnerable. They were real. They put in the effort and made the vlog relatable, passionate, inspirational. They were the stars of the show and I cannot express the gratitude I have for all 3 of them. @rachel_gutfish @koriesteede @brandyrichards198 @howes_it_going brought so much talent to this project. I knew from the start he was the one I wanted to work with. His ability to take my vision and make it a reality was pure magic. His drone skills are among the best in the world. His dedication to honor the women’s intense efforts matched my determination and tenacity, and together we conquered. @meg.argubright was behind me from conception to checkers. The impact she has on women in this sport is nothing short of incredible. She played a role behind scenes and on camera, and truly completed this victorious storyline. Our sponsors put their trust in me before anyone else did. Oftentimes we think of them as just a necessity but in this case they were part of the team, and as such are a part of this success. Truly madly deeply; thank you for believing in my vision and helping to make it a reality. @trailjesters @ama_riding @mooseoffroadofficial @xcgear17 @gsd2racing @kariresources And lastly to @fim_isde @_michele_bianchi_ for the invention of this competition. The opportunity to tell these women’s story to the world is everything. I cannot thank you enough. See you at the FIM awards! If you haven’t watched the vlog yet, tap the link in my bio.
