Motocross rider
Martins Platkēvičs #16
Martins Platkēvičs rides for the generation that treats motocross as a craft: consistent, technical, and never satisfied. Competing at a high level on national and international tracks, he has built his name on control under pressure and steady, measurable progress season after season.
North Trade Group has been his supplying partner from the start. His motorcycles are kept at peak specification with top-tier components, and his kit is covered from helmet to boots — because performance matters, and so does coming back after every ride. Even the most worried motocross grandmothers can watch in peace.

Motocross development team · Latvia
GF Racing Team
What started as a group of friends with one shared obsession has become one of the most recognised motocross teams in Latvia. GF Racing is proof that enthusiasm, consistency and a clear purpose can turn a hobby into a force in the sport.
The team was founded by Gints Filipsons, a former top MX2 rider in Latvia who moved on to enduro with strong results at home and abroad. Today that experience goes straight into the next generation.
The mission is simple and ambitious: build Latvian motocross from the ground up. From first laps on a 50cc to emerging talents, the focus is on fundamentals, discipline and the mindset it takes to race — with the aim of producing riders who can one day compete at the highest international level.
North Trade Group supplies GF Racing with motorcycles, parts and equipment for both performance and safety, so young riders are set up to international standards and Baltic motocross keeps its strong name on the world stage.

Former professional motocross rider · Enduro · Coach
Kārlis Sabulis
Kārlis Sabulis is one of Latvia’s most recognised motocross riders, having represented the country at the highest level of international motocross for years. He is a big part of why Latvia and the Baltics are taken seriously on the global motocross scene.
He has proudly ridden for Team Latvia at the Motocross of Nations — the “Olympics of motocross” — contributing to some of the country’s strongest results. Across Europe he fought for podiums in the EMX250 European Championship, took a Vice Champion title in the ADAC MX Masters and consistently placed among the top riders in the MX2 World Championship.
From motocross to enduro
After his professional motocross career Kārlis moved into enduro, where he competes in local and international championships. Many expected him to step back from top-level racing; he did the opposite — still on the big stage, still delivering, now in a different discipline.
From racing to rider development
Through coaching and his KS Racing Academy he passes that experience on, helping young athletes build the skills, discipline and mindset competitive racing demands. North Trade Group supplied Kārlis with top-level components and equipment throughout his professional career — and the partnership carries on today, backing performance on the track and the riders who come next.
