Preview: Be-mag Issue 25 - Rachard Johnson I-view - 07/10/25
"Rachard Johnson. Bit of a legend. So what is this Rachard fellow like? It pretty much goes without saying that he is one of the true icons of our sport. After spending a month on tour with him and two weeks at his house I always found him to be good humored and energetic. He’s a pretty big guy, and likes to hit people, in a "fun buddy" kind of way. I found it was wise to keep close enough to hear him joke around, but even wiser to make sure there is someone in between you and him while he is joking around, so should he decide to hit someone, you are at least second in line for the jovial yet debilitating punch. His skating speaks for itself, even though it sounds cliché. Rachard has had countless sections proving his skills, and continues to go big and technical with his powerful yet agile skating."
