Well I figure by now you regulars have seen this UTVUGJake guy posting up all kinds of cool stuff. So I figure its time I formally introduce you to this mysterious new contributor here on UTVUG.
UTVUGJake is Jake Yubeta. Those who frequent the Lucas Oil Regional race series may recognize the name. Jake has been racing a Polaris RZR XP900 for the past year or so, he is also an avid off-road fan.
UTVUnderground.com has grown tremendously since 2009 when we first launched. Since our launch we have gone from being just a forum to a recognized source of first hand knowledge and information surrounding the UTV sport. We have also morphed into a full tilt media company that offers video, editorial and photography services and our homepage has turned into one of the most visited UTV pages in the world. Our social media ranks amongst the top in our sport as well.
While I will never take full credit for this growth because many have helped make this happen, I will say that the good and bad of UTVUG has and probably always will rest on my shoulders. With the growth has come a crazy schedule putting me on the road a good majority of the year and has increased my responsibilities prohibiting me from doing all the little things that helped us make this site so great. Luckily we have always had guys like Rusty that support and love this site and sport as much as I do, but Rusty like all of you has a real job still. He doesn't consider what I do a real job, its more like a real F-Off Job.. lol
While the Forum has taken a back seat to all of the growth in content generation it is still the foundation of who we are. I love this forum, and I love the membership, old and new. Its you guys who really have made the site what it is. The hard work I put in is nothing without you guys and I know that. So that is where UTVUGJake comes in.
Jake joined our team here at UTVUG a couple weeks ago. Jake is a recent graduate of the University of Arizona. I will let him explain what his degree is in but it has to do with drawing stuff on computers that then go into machines to make more cool stuff.. Its pretty cool.. So he is smart. He is young, but most importantly he loves this sport and loves off-road. The fact that he races a UTV is only icing on the cake!
Jake is here to do all the stuff I can't get done on my own anymore, the important day to day stuff like keeping you all posted on the daily news and developments from around our industry. He is posting all those race reports I couldn't get up, the PRs from companies, the new product releases and yes, he is going to help me with even MORE GIVEAWAYS!
If Rusty is my right hand man, then Jake is my left. He loves to tinker and wrench, so do I, I just can't do it, but he can which means more product install threads and product reviews. More build threads on our UTVUG builds and lots more daily sharing of content from other parts of the web.
Anyway, I just want you guys to know whats going on and to welcome Jake. He is a huge addition to our growing site, our first true employee hire and hopefully the first step in helping UTVUG continue to grow into being the best source for UTV content and information.
So let me be the first to say, Welcome to the site Jake!! We are stoked to have you on the team!
