Jackson Fowler's Dreamer Home

It takes an eye like mine to appreciate a truck like mine.

- Taylor Boyd

It’s tough to explain Jackson Fowler. In trying, maybe it’s best to start with the fact that Jackson grew up as a skate rat living on a farm outside Boulder, Colorado. He’s a soft-spoken free spirit with a blue-collar work ethic and a solid frontside grind. Perhaps Jackson was born too late; he might have been more comfortable spending his twenties during the ’60s or ’70s. But Jackson was born in 1994. And at 22 years old, his snowboarding is as much an anomaly as his personality.

TRUCK

A four-wheel-drive International Harvester with a 392 V8, a five-speed transmission, and a 6.4-liter engine. The whole back end is a flatbed that I welded with a hydraulic dump kit on it. I got the call that I was needed for landscaping, so I souped it up even more, put a new Holly four-barrel carburetor on it, and did the brakes. I have hydraulic jacks that I lift the camper off with when I need the truck for work, then I just lower it back down when I’m done. You can just crank the thing off the bed a couple inches, then drive off.
