Growing up in Massachusetts, Richards made his mark on the sport by bringing a “skateboard style” to a scene and has been a pioneering figure in the snowboarding scene ever since. The influence of his refined, technical style derived from a skate background helped propel him to the forefront of halfpipe competition for nearly two decades. Multiple X-Games gold medals, World Championships, and US Open titles in both slope style and halfpipe make him one of the most decorated competitors the sport has seen. Beyond his competitive career, Todd has made significant contributions as a commentator and media personality, helping to popularize and shape the sport through his insightful analysis and infectious enthusiasm. His ongoing impact on snowboarding culture and his advocacy for the sport’s growth continue to inspire generations of riders.
