Jayson Uribe was born in Bellevue, Washington on March 27, 1999. He began his motorcycle racing career at the age of 4 aboard a Honda 50. He quickly advanced to a Kawasaki KX65 at the age of 5 and began racing motocross competitively in the Northern California region. At the age of 7, Jayson expanded his racing interest to Supermoto on his Kawasaki with Supermoto USA and quickly excelled in his division. Jayson raced and won in several championships aboard his Honda 150R and 250R over the next 5 years. By the age of 12 he was the 250cc National Champion while riding for Mammoth Motorsports. Jayson continues to ride Supermoto today as one of his favorite ways to train and improve his race craft.

In 2009, Jayson began his road racing career aboard a 2004 production Honda RS125 two stroke GP machine. He is the second youngest licensed racer ever in AFM history. Due to his age, several racetracks would not allow him to ride on their circuit; thus making a championship win nearly impossible. In 2011 he was the WERA West Novice Champion in the F2 class. In 2012 and 2013 he was invited to the Redbull Rookies tryouts in Spain; he was one of 6 Americans invited to attend.^[1]

Jayson's first international championship was in 2013 in the British Superbike Championship in the Monster Energy Motostar class. Jayson and his mother lived in Nottingham, UK for the season while his father kept their family electrical business in Napa Valley going strong. Jayson raced under the Rock and Sons Racing banner with Ian Emberton as their mechanic. He placed 11th overall in the Championship that year with his strongest race finish being 7th at Silverstone in 2013. Jayson was the only rider to finish every race in points contention; and he still holds the BSB record today with 19 consecutive finishes in points contention.
