Our Origin story
The Uptown Riders were founded in 2005 by two ex-marines Malcom (Malc) Bradley and DeSean Jenkins in Northwood Liberty City. After serving one tour in Afghanistan, the pair returned to Liberty City and vowed to help around in the community. This took the form of organising soup kitchens for the less fortunate, paying for studio time to keep youths off the streets and away from violent crimes and drugs that the city of Liberty breeds. Not to mention hosting motorcycle lessons and getting more teens involved in motorcycles.
We are a group of urban riding enthusiasts. Originally started as a lifestyle group, established for the discussion of sports bikes and, we help around in the community, We diversified into a clothing line with more merchandising to follow.
Malc and DeSean befriended The Lost MC's Acter chapter in Alderney and combined forces to combat their common enemy, Uptown Riders supplied The Lost MC with the explosives which they used to destroy several Angel's of Death vans, containing the equivalent of two million dollars of heroin (Street Value). This Provocation broke the peace accord between the two rival motorcycle clubs. Throughout their gang war, The Uptown Riders continued supplying The Lost MC with heavy weaponry including multiple rocket propelled grenade launchers and the munitions for everything they could imagine. This ultimately gave The Lost MC the advantage they needed in order to win the biker war of 08'.
Los Santos Chapter
In late 2013 co-founder Malc moved to Los Santos and left DeSean to run The Uptown Riders Liberty City chapter. After 5 years in the shadows learning the lay of the land, Malc founded The Uptown Riders' Los Santos chapter. Situated in the heart of LS, The Hawick club house is where Uptown Riders members spend a majority of their time tinkering with their Japanese and Italian machines.
The Clubhouse contains a bar and state of the art mod shop with round the clock service from our very own mechanic.
