Take our “Light Up & Lift Up” Pay It Forward that Custom Dynamics powered last year! Our efforts together has changed the lives of Chris & Shana Wilson as well as our viewers!
One of the online analytics that really show the massive impact is from Twitter in which we honestly do not utilize to it’s fullest however you can see that in January 2021 when we had posted about our Pay It Forward that Custom Dynamics was involved with the number of Tweet Impressions were over double what our normal range is.

From the time that we started “The Ornery One” we have been a team... a team of 2 different individuals with different perspectives which allows us to offer double the effort vlogging & sharing our story. We are starting to branch out to the 2UP community which had not been promoted or presented. Our goal with “support 2UP” is to empower riders of all genders & empower the passenger. Stephanie has started working with the Buffalo Chip last year & will be involved in the Women’s Day at The Chip again this year promoting passengers & 2UP riding. You all know our social media presence but I want to do a small year to year comparison that shows each of our platforms continuously growing in impressions, interactions & subscribers as well as a few other analytics.
organic growth across social media platforms over the past 3 years
We can't thank each of every one of you enough for following our journey, sharing in our experiences & supporting us mile after mile. We are thankful & can't wait to get 2022 started! I hope we will get to meet you all at a rally or event this year!!!
