Johnny Coward

BIO:

Johnny Coward was a professional FGFS rider from the Bay Area in California. His smooth style and transition riding got him attention across the scene and eventually landed him with the development of a signature frame with LDG, which ended up falling through.

His beginnings were with the SHMOB crew, which consisted of Shane Hunt, Tyler Louie, and others. They would regularly put out group videos and solo edits of the members on their Vimeo channel.

In 2013 Johnny would move to Southern California to work for and ride for Livery Design Gruppe. Him and Jakob Santos became teammates and would ride and film together very often.

In 2015 Johnny was set to have a signature frame with LDG. The entire team at the time all received prototypes and the frame was well received and sparked large interest among the community, but the project would fall flat as LDG backed away from freestyle production.
