Omatic Snowboards is stoked to announce super ninja Josh Sherman to the Omatic Pro Team.  This Wisconsin native relocated to Breckenridge, CO in 2004 where he continued to sharpen his ninja skills and samurai swords.  Not only can Josh do round house nose tap flipty-doos but he can also shred the “gnar” out of a snowboard. In addition to the annual Pee Wee Sherman Rail Jam, and breaking bricks with his bare hands.  Josh will be hitting the Canadian Open, Dew Tour @ Northstar, Grand Prix, U.S. Open, New Zealand Open, Australian Open and a slew of other rad contests.

“Getting put on the Omatic team is the best thing that’s ever happened to me. They have the best team, and now I can have Todd make fun of me full time. I have so much I want to do in snowboarding. They are the best boards I’ve ever ridden, and nothing from before even touches what its like ridin an Omatic.”  -Josh Sherman

Since Josh was 14 years old competeing in the USASA Nationals in Waterville Valley, NH he has been shredding up numerous mountains and cities all over the world.  He generated a deep pocket of tricks that will take him from the top of pow stashes most dream of, to the cities and streets hitting a plethora of urban fun.

Josh has put himself into tons of great situations landing exposure in every major shred magazine along with the cover of the 2007 Transworld Buyers Guide.

He doesn’t stop there…  He filmed much of his 2008 season with the Pirates Production crew along side good friend and fellow Omatican Mike Casanova.  You can check them both out in one of this seasons steamiest movies “Overseas” on shelves now…  Go get cha some son!  Read his Pirate Bio

Sherman always sets away some quality time each year to give back to his roots and remember what snowboarding is all about, the kids and the fun! 

He hosts a contest called the Pee Wee Sherman Rail Jam for the kids of Tyrol Basin, WI.  This year will be the 3rd year in a row at Tyrol Basin taking place on January 31st.  Oh, that’s not all…  You can then find him on the slopes of Mt. High, CA March 8th for another stop of the rail jam.

“Putting this contest on for my home mountain rocks. I love it. I get to see all my friends from back home, we have a good time and don’t make this some do or die contest, it’s a really fun day. And now that we teamed up with Active, it’s open to all ages. This year is gonna be better then watching Rosie Odonnal bike up-hill in a one piece spandex suit, sweating in tropical heat on a fixed gear.”

Josh’s Sponsors consist of Omatic Snowboards, Smith Optics, Drop, Elm Headwear, Breckenridge Resort
