OFF-ROAD ATHLETES
Riders in off-road competitions provide us with a wide range of feedback on fit, mobility, and control on physically demanding dirt tracks. This includes all-round freedom of movement, support and comfort in challenging turns, and flexibility during jumps and landings. Aside from having a former national Enduro champion on our payroll and still out on his bike, we also work with national riders in different disciplines such as MX, Enduro, and Flat Track.
TOINE VAN DIJK
Toine van Dijk is a five-time Dutch Enduro Champion with a career spanning more than 4 decades. He also earned 6 Gold Medals in the International Six Days Enduro and raced motocross at World Championship level. Today, he combines his experience as a rider, coach, and motorcycle tester with off-road training and suspension work, while still putting plenty of time in on the bike.
JOHN CUPPEN
Born in the Dutch village of Escharen in the early nineties, John started racing at a young age and participated in competitions of various classes organised by different associations. His most notable achievements are his two national (MON) MX2 championships and the European (IMBA) MX2 title, which he has won a whopping five times.
BEREND DE RUITER
A true allrounder when it comes to dirt riding. Our fellow Dutchman competes in Enduro competitions such as Rallye Breslau, but is also active in MX2 on a national (MON) level. Thanks to his extensive experience, Berend knows exactly how to find his way through the dirt, something he can teach you as he is also a certified (KNMV MT-2) MX instructor.
JEFFREY BRASSER
An off-road fanatic who competes in Enduro and OTR events, enjoys messing around in the dirt, and likes to create video content about those adventures. He’s known online as Moto.Jefff and co-founder of Jax’s Racing Garage; a YouTube channel centred around Enduro and big, modified adventure bikes. Jeff recently conquered the Red Bull Romaniacs event by successfully finishing in the Adventure Class.
RICK KOEKEBAKKER
Another dirt junkie who participates in different events, such as the Ténéré Travel Trophy which he has won in 2024 and 2025. Moto.Rickk is the other half of the JRG YouTube channel. Together with Jeff he creates as much content about new parts and preparation of their bikes as they do about the events themselves.
MAIKEL DIJKSTRA
Dijkstra has been racing motorcycles since the age of six, starting in grass track racing before switching fully to Flat Track in 2016. He competed in American Flat Track events and raced at the Superprestigio Dirt Track in Barcelona. He has been victorious in both the Dutch and German flat track cups, as well as several DTRA events. Today, Maikel shares his experience with new and experienced riders through his Flat Track Academy.
MARTINE VAN DER KOLK
Martine van der Kolk only climbed onto a motorcycle for the first time in May 2023, when she joined Maikel Dijkstra's Royal Enfield Slide School. Just weeks later, she was lining up for her first Dutch Flat Track race. Since then, she has progressed rapidly through the sport, finishing fourth in the championship and moving up to a TM FT450. Now coached by Maikel, Martine is working towards her goal of competing in the FIM Flat Track World Championship.
