The son of a motorcycle dealer, he was born in Wooster, Ohio and grew up in Idaho. Uhl competed in several different off-road motorcycling disciplines including motocross, trials, dirt track oval racing and hillclimbs.[1] In 1969, Uhl became the youngest ISDT gold medal winner at the age of nineteen.[1] After his retirement from competition, he became active in designing off-road trails as well as becoming an advocate for responsible off-road vehicle usage.[1]

He was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 2007.[1]
