California (January 6, 2026) — The Offroad Masters Championship is proud to announce a new partnership with Trail Jesters, 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, U.S. Sprint Enduro, J Day Offroad and the ISDE. Though Trail Jesters no longer operates an active race team program, their legacy continues—and now extends to the West—through their commitment to supporting the next generation of champions competing in the Offroad Masters.
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.
Keeping the Trail Jester Spirit Alive
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.”
A Shared Commitment to the Future of the Sport
The Offroad Masters has long recognized that young athletes are the backbone of off-road racing’s future. The partnership with Trail Jesters strengthens this commitment, bringing a respected legacy and national reach to the series’ development pathways—including youth racing, up-and-coming amateurs, and grassroots communities that fuel the sport.
“Trail Jesters built a culture of excellence, opportunity, and belief in young riders,” said Meg Argubright. “Their involvement is a huge vote of confidence in what the Offroad Masters is building. Together, we’re reinforcing a sport-wide message: the future matters, and we’re investing in it.”
Honoring the Legacy — Inspiring the Next Champions
As part of the partnership, Trail Jesters will be highlighted throughout the season as a program that shaped some of off-road’s biggest names. This collaboration ensures the Trail Jesters story continues to inspire, motivate, and celebrate the rising talent competing in off-road racing.
