Having recently moved from a full suspension rig to a more bikepacking-friendly hardtail, his choice of bike is a clue to his racing background – a full carbon, lightweight setup – and his considered gearlist is well honed from years of backpacking.
His cadence never fluctuates and fitness and his bike handling skills never fail to humble and inspire me – he regularly cleans sections of trails that I didn’t imagine could be ridden, with or without bikepacking gear. When it comes to mountain biking, Zach is a precision instrument. In fact, Zach grew up backpacking with his family since the tender age of three! These days, Zach gravites towards the adventurous side of mountain biking, where he puts his skillset as both an incredibly strong rider and his mountain experience to great use along the way, he also spent a couple of years fighting wildfires with the Hotshots, so is no stranger to minimal camping and spending time in remote areas. Over the years, he’s represented the Rockshox Devo Team and been a member of the US National MTB team, racing internationally. In a former life, Zach was a pro mtb racer based in Durango. Jackson-born Zach Shriver is a firefighter who works in Los Alamos, Santa Fe.
