Rider Bio

meet zach johnston a super-upbeat, always stoked down to earth snowboarder, currently based out of Breckenridge, CO. Zach grew up riding the "mountains" of Michigan and Ohio. He started shredding seriously around the age of 15 with friends from his high school snowboard team which he would later become the prez of. I remember Zach riding in the car talking about tricks he wanted to do that were somewhat, off of most peoples radar in the area. The thing about Zach is that he is always trying to learn the next trick, be the best and most of all have the most fun possible on top of a snowboard. Zach has always been a super fun kid to ride with because he is always stoked on whats going down around him, and he is usually killing it himself, so that makes it fun for his friends to watch. Zach is currently riding for Mervin Mfg. and Quiksilver and getting flow help from CandyGrind, Celsius Boots,Purl Wax and Monocera. With the addition of the 1080 and his invented rail trick, "the magician" Zach Johnston is definetly some one to watch out for and if your looking for someone to hook up thats going to represent your company in an extremely positive manner then this is your kid.

this is such the business side of things, some people hate on this whole "going for it" attitude that i have with snowboarding, regardless of what their deal is all im trying to do is have fun, yeah the business side of things sucks compared to snowboarding but its all fun to me. Im not trying to keep the fun in snowboarding, to me its always fun no matter what, park, pow, groomers drops down rails and everything inbetween. no matter what happens, if i turn into the next big thing im always going to have fun on a snowboard no matter what. so lets go have fun together asap.
took the day to re-learn backlips the correct way. super fun trick when you do it right, feels money, other than that the other cool thing in my snowboarding world right now is rodeo back sevens, love the way those feel and im trying to raise money to get to snowboard camp this summer! anything helps haha. looking at doing the hcsc stuff, but in the meantime im on my way to woodward to try to learn doubles. wish me luck! hope all is well with all of you!Thanks
