The 1 Up 1 Down Ryderz Motorcycle Club was founded on February 3, 2002 in Montgomery, Alabama.  
The 17 original founders are Sony, Jesse, James, Alfred,  Terence, Eric, Quincy, Kenny, Collin, Cornilus, 
Ralph, Ivan, Tyrone, Corey, Vernon, Clarence, Shawnn, and  Earnest. The founders shared a passion to 
ride motorcycles, and a common goal to create a sport bike motorcycle club  in Montgomery that wasn't 
all about terrorizing the streets, but helping out our neighborhoods as well.    Our plans are to ride  through-
out the year, give back to the community and to have fun while doing it.  Our motto is to "Always keep 1 
wheel UP in the air or 1 knee DOWN to the ground" hence the name 1Up 1Down.
