Our first ever blog is here!
We want to take a little time to introduce ourselves, and tell you about how we got here, and where we are heading on our UTV/Offroad journey.
Hope you all come along for the ride!
Rob, Brandi, Mason, and Grace Keady
I (Rob) grew up in Coos Bay, Oregon and spent A LOT of time in the dunes and woods with my family and friends. Mostly on quads, three wheelers, motorcycles, in jeeps, trucks, and, rails. Hell, we even took some beaters with heaters out there back in the day! Needless to say, when I "grew up" and had a family of my own, we set out to make sure our kids could enjoy the same things I did growing up. Times have definitely changed out there, and we have watched and enjoyed a ton of events and trends come and go from our dunes!
We, like a lot of families out there, started out on quads, went to dirt bikes, back to quads, and then ultimately to the SxS world (still have quads too...). Starting with the first Rzr 800 we had, I immediately wanted to to customize it and make it different than anything out there! After all, we always customized our quads, jeeps, and trucks. Honestly, nothing could be left stock...
We plan most of our vacations around the dunes, and have made some amazing friends that we call family now. To this day, we all still do many trips together including Thanksgiving at the Oregon Dunes every year, no questions asked, rain or shine!
Through our SxS communities online, several great events over the years, and a whole lot of play time in the sand, we have had the pleasure of meeting a bunch of great folks! From industry professionals, to like minded enthusiasts and everyone in between. With the support of great friends and family, we started our own customs shop out of the garage at our home and have been growing ever since. In-between building amazing UTVs in the shop, we have been able to travel to other parts of the country and ride with some other amazing off-road groups too!
Most recently we have dipped our toes into the event scene! Event #1 is happening April 6th-9th, 2023 over Easter Weekend at Boxcar Hill Campground, in CoosBay/North Bend, OR.
We are excited to see where else this amazing community takes us, and we hope you all follow along as we document our UTVRiders events, and everything else in-between....
