Todd Richards (snowboarder)

Todd Richards (born December 28, 1969) is a snowboarder from Paxton, Massachusetts. In the 1997–98 season, he won five out of the seven halfpipe competitions he entered. Todd pioneered the snowboard trick "the wet cat." [1] He won a Silver Medal in 1997 at the Snowboard Halfpipe World Championships at Heavenly Mountain Resort. He was a member of the 1998 US Olympic Halfpipe Team, and after being heavily favored to win the halfpipe event, finished a disappointing 16th place. He also published an autobiography, P3: Parks, Pipes, and Powder in 2003. He started his own snowboard company called O-Matic with Tara Dakides and Andreas Wiig in the 2006-2007 season. He produces a series of webisodes entitled Todcasts for Quiksilver[2] as well as a frequent announcer at snowboard events such as the Winter X Games.

He is the subject of a documentary entitled "Me, Myself and I" released in 2009.[3]
