Casey kostecki

My name is Casey Kostecki. I am 29 years old and I have been riding dirt bikes since I was a little kid. This is my second year racing the US Hard Enduro series. I am currently racing in Expert class with the goal of eventually getting into the Pro class. Riding dirt bikes has always been a passion of mine and I am thankful for Penco's support as I pursue my goals and progress in the Hard Enduro community. Learn more about Casey here.

 

colten hanson

My name is Colten Hanson. I have had a lifelong passion for dirt bikes, growing up in the Flathead Valley and starting my racing career at just 3 ½ years old. I continued competing through my late teens before discovering the thrill of snowbiking in 2016—a decision that changed everything. Since then, I haven't looked back, embracing the unique adventure of year-round riding.

I share my passion for snowbiking with my wife, Jess, who is also an avid rider, and our two daughters, who naturally love all things outdoors. My enthusiasm for riding goes beyond a hobby—it’s also my career. As the owner of a powersports mechanic shop, it's in my DNA to stay deeply connected to the latest innovations in the industry.

I am excited and honored to be part of the Penco & MTN.TOP team, helping to promote the sport I love and encouraging others to experience the adventure.

OLIVER WEITZEL

My name is Oliver Weitzel, and I’ve been racing dirt bikes since I was four years old. I’ve always loved racing and the excitement and adrenaline that come with it. I’m proud of how far the sport has taken me and excited for what lies ahead. For the past eight months, I’ve been living in Texas training with Shannon Niday and Jake Boumert, and I’ve been improving a lot because of their guidance. I’m continuing to push myself every day and working as hard as I can to reach the top.

 

COLE BEARD

My name is Cole Beard. I am ten-years-old and I love riding dirt bikes. My number is 112 and I am a big KTM fan. I started riding a STACYC when I was four and a Honda Z50 dirt bike when I was five. I participated in my first STACYC race when I was seven and started racing motocross on my KTM 50 SX in Kalispell and Washington when I was 8.

Last year, I began riding a KTM 65 SX. I participated in my first cross country endurance race at Niarada Raceway and MX races at Dairyland and Hungry Horse. In 2025, I also started Mission Motocross to help share the good news of the gospel with dirtbike riders. Someday I would love to own a riding school where I can teach other kids how to ride dirt bikes using my faith as the foundation.

I will be racing my KTM 65 SX one more year before moving up to a KTM 85 that I also want to use as a snow bike in the winter months. I am hoping to compete in all of the High Country Motocross Association (HCMA) races this year (and any others my parents will take me to). My goal is to place in the top three at each race and overall and to glorify God through my racing.
