Background:
Peter Politiek is a four time Dutch National show-jumping champion. He is still the youngest rider ever (age 8) to win a national championship in horseback riding in the Netherlands.
Peter competed in the Dutch 250cc Grand Prix of the Netherlands at age 17, in 2002. He suffered a near fatal crash in a European Championship race nearly a month later. It put the Dutch rider into a (artificial) coma for 6 weeks.
In 2006 Peter won two American Vintage Racing Championships when competing in the AHRMA championship series during his time in New York City.
