Mickey Wilson
Golden, CO
When I found out that part of the Ford Ranger shoot was going to be in Colorado, I was pumped! That’s my home turf, and there’s no place I feel better shooting than somewhere in Colorado. Well I was in for quite a surprise. First up was Mickey Wilson aka Tricky Mickey. This dude is quite the showman and he did not disappoint. To say his stunts were epic is an understatement, they were literally breath taking. It was so stressful hanging out watching Mickey slackline across a canyon right there in Golden, Colorado. He did a slackfline to base jump landing right next to the Ranger truck. It was not all that high so he had to pull the parachute just right. Also from my vantage point he would just disappear into the canyon and your breath was gone until you heard that sound of a chute opening and then waiting a few seconds till the people on ground level started cheering. What a show from Mickey!

Lightning XL Super Crew STX 4X4
Tyler Brandt is one cool dude. It was a real pleasure getting to hang with Tyler for a few days on the river. I’m not exactly sure where in Colorado we were, however I know we were close to FairPlay. Either way it was typical conditions, light snow in the foothills, winter dry, but that water was freezing. Like, really really cold. No biggie for Tyler tho. It was funny watching him float through chunks of snow and ice. Crazy few days : )

Cynthia Johnson
Loveland, CO
Black XLT Super Crew Sport FX4
Cynthia Johnson gave quite the tour of Loveland, Colorado. We all met up and crushed a shoot very early season. It made it a bit gnarly, with the base being so low, but nobody got hurt and we got some epic shots. It was totally awesome, very snowy and a couple of rad days. I should post some of the BTS video of everyone getting down in the parking lot at Loveland. lol.
