Todd Richards

Todd Richards is a snowboarder from Paxton, Massachusetts, who helped introduce skate style at a time when the sport was mainly influenced by alpine racing events. He grew up skateboarding on the East Coast and translated his skills on four wheels to riding a halfpipe made of snow. During his career he won multiple US Open halfpipe titles, X Games gold medals and World Championship firsts, and he was a member of the 1998 US Olympic Halfpipe Team in Nagano. In 2003 he published an autobiography titled P3: Parks, Pipes, and Powder, and he has done color commentary for NBC coverage of the Olympic Games from Torino to Milano-Cortina. He played a former professional snowboarder in the 2001 movie Out Cold and is the subject of a 2009 documentary, Me, Myself and I.
