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.

ready for another amazing spring day at abasin. shredding is so sick because even in the midst of five final exams this week i guarantee when i roll into that jump or roll into that rail, final exams will be the last thing i am thinking about. i love getting lost in my passion everyday.
