Todd Richards, Pro Snowboarder, Action Sports Commentator, Podcaster and Entrepreneur

Todd Richards grew up in Paxton, Massachusetts and got into skateboarding and punk rock.

Skating was one of the first things Todd was passionate about and he could see progression happening and that was the backbone for everything.

Snowboarding came along initially as something to do the winter months when the vert ramps got too icy to skate.

A friend introduced him to competing right at the time when the birth of snowboard halfpipes started. The rest is history. Todd went on to win multiple X Games medals, two U.S. Open halfpipe titles and was on the first ever US Halfpipe Team at the Winter Olympics in 98. 

Nowadays Richards hosts the Monday M.A.S.S podcast with friend Chris Cote, commentates on various skateboarding, snowboarding and action sports events such as Dew Tour, Jackalope Festival and the Olympics for NBC.
