At age 11 young Ricky Berry started shooting pictures when his dad joined a local off-road club in 2001. In 2002 Ricky started shooting pictures for the club's website for everyone in to see. As he and his dad went four wheeling nearly every weekend he begin to shot more and more pictures and as he progressed he started to notice he was kind of good at it and posted the pics for more people to see. In January of 2006 CRAWL magazine came to shoot the Blue Torch Fab fabstock and to shoot some of his friends four wheeling at Gray Rock ORV. Dan Dubose (owner of BTF) invited him down to shoot pictures of a buildup of a rock crawler they were building and post them on pirate4x4.com. He got to meet Tim Piele (the main editor of CRAWL)and shoot beside him at the build up at BTF and Gray Rock. Then he got the call form Tim Peele to be a photog and writer for CRAWL. With lots of local rides for the magazine and getting to cover the XRRA (Xtreme Rock Racing Association) eastern races he is well on his way to becoming one of the best off road photographers and he is only 18. Just a couple weeks ago he finally started his own website to index and sell all his photos in one place. Being so involved in the sport he has been able to make many friends in the four wheeling community. People like Adam Woodlee, Bryan Cole, Dan Dubose, Keith Bailey, Rob Dubroc, Matt Overton, have all been a big help and inspiration to Ricky.
Many people see Ricky's work and think, WOW this guy looks like he has been doing for 20 or 30 years but he is just getting started, he has not even graduated high school. He now runs Morris Mountain ORV and Gray Rock ORV's websites. And not only that he is a member of SFWDA (Southern Four Wheel Drive Association) and Hardline Crawlers of Birmingham, AL.

Weird...
