Born in Curaçao, Jaimie already had a motorcycle ready. His father passed on his passion for motocross to him at an early age, and as a toddler Jaimie often sat at the front of the quad. When he was three years old, the family moved back to the Netherlands, where he rode his first motocross race at the age of five.

At the age of eight he received NOC*NSF status and trained daily after school. From the age of ten he raced abroad, also capturing the MX California State winter series title.
