Our ISDE Journey 2014-2019

The International Six Days of Enduro is the annual FIM Enduro World Championship for national teams and considered to be the Olympics of motorcycling. The ISDE is the most prestigious off-road motorcycle event in the world. First held in Carlisle, England, in 1913, the ISDE is one of the longest-running events on the calendar of the Federation Internationale de Motocyclisme.

We have a passion for our country and for the Six Days. We started in 2014 and to date four of the Trail Jesters riders have pursued their ISDE gold medal dreams.

  • Ben Kelley 🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
  • Josh Toth 🏅🏅🏅🏅
  • John Kelley 🏅
  • Jason Klammer 🏅

Team riders have earned a total of 12 Gold Medals, 2 Class Championships, 1 Top Overall Club Rider, 2 Club Team podiums and 3 World Junior Trophy Team podiums. And we aren’t done yet 😉
