Todd took off to become the Ultimate Boarder, leaving us high and dry for our Friday funnies. However, we ran into superstar Danny Kass and decided waiting on Todd sounded stupid. So here it is folks, High Fives with Danny Kass.
Are you going to win the US Open this year, why or why not?
I was [...]
The Snowqualmie crew threw us another edit. This time with shaky hand and super long intro filters.
One of Yobeat’s original Hump Day vixens, Desiree Melancon, is officially bald, and will be sporting a dyed red head for the Ashbury Demo and Ms. Superpark events coming up soon. Desiree had this to say, “Whatever, it grows back.” The once cute, yet androgynous, Desiree is now sporting the toughest look on the Ashbury team. [...]
By 2010 the Ride Shakedown had outgrown its Canadian roots and became a multi-stop action sports circus. The American debut was held at Summit at Snoqualmie, a hill known for park, night riding and being close to downtown Seattle. My job was simple enough; drive to Snoqualmie and cover two days of snowboard action.
A day [...]
It’s official, Chris Grenier has finally been tricked by the Ashbury boys to ride for them. We know it’s true cause they sent us this video.
Earthquakes, poverty, internet haters and all sorts of stuff is currently ravaging this great planet. What does Todd Richards think of this downward decline? Can he save us? Well, obviously not because he’s just an aging father of two, but he sure can make us laugh about it.
Two earthquakes in 2010, is this a sign [...]
The Family Tree boys recently met Canada’s coolest Dad. They even have video proof. For more on this crew check out their site HERE and get a glimpse at a bunch of free snowboard junk. Oh yeah, and to the crew, how about next time you name Yobeat instead of whatever that other site you mentioned [...]
With so much on their plate Knife Show has only found time to make mini-edits. From their minds to your eyes, here are the two latest.
Episode 6: Scruffy Style!
Episode 7: Icelandic Style!

Yes ladies, Mr. Sell is single and searching for love. p. Robbie Sell of Robbie Sell
With guns o’ plenty, a mean mustache and an apartment in Reno, Robbie Sell is nothing short of an American badass. After the tragic death of a once prominent snowboard career Robbie has recently [...]
Snoqualmie local’s Yudo, Seth Kitzke, Spence, A Dub, B Payne, and way more importantly Forum Youngblood Austen Sweetin in their first edit that matters, “Big Dog”.
The Olympics are finally over and Todd is no longer in a foreign country. For Todd that means he can finally see his family again, for us, that means we don’t have to think about ice dancing anymore. This week we are bringing back the Todd in High Fives with Todd Richards. Here we go…
If I gave [...]
Todd’s busy, bored and ready to ditch the Olympics for some surf n’ turf and some family time in his sunny So-Cal home. In the mean time though, we’ll keep bugging him as he slowly loses his mind.
How do you feel about the bad press the American Snowboarders have been getting?
I think that when [...]

Just four months ago, I had never heard of 16-year-old Sage Kotsenburg. Even while writing this, I can’t recall a photo or edit of the Park City hellion that wasn’t published by the Dew Tour. But since November, the 2010 Slopestyle Dew Cup winner has demanded my attention by shocking his way into my [...]
Finally the Olympic shit show has ended and we can refocus on the important stuff—being cool, getting a sponsor-me-tape squared away and keeping current with snowboarding’s ever changing scene. Luckily for you a top secret Yobeat document slipped through the cracks yesterday, and before the blogging world goes crazy stealing our secrets and branding our [...]
Our man on the Olympic scene, Todd Richards, is having a busy week. Besides texting me (possibly during the halfpipe Final), doing voice work for NBC, snuggling up with Celebrities and actually getting serious about a thing or two Todd’s head is spinning. We know you don’t care though, so we cracked the whip and [...]
Olympic action has begun! Skiers have been crushing moguls, ice skaters have been flying around in circles and in the ratings booster, snowboarding, the pipe is collapsing slowly and medal events have officially begun! Men’s Snowboardcross, or as they like to call it “the only race for freestyle snowboarders,” is a wrap, but I must [...]
Kurtis Rothecker might not be a style king like Bennee or Nima, but this up and comer is blowing shit up. Yobeat gives Kurtis two thumbs up for solid tricks, a good eye and a weird beard. Here’s what he had to say:
“This is my part from Nuulife Cinema’s “Sixes and Sevens”. I’m from the [...]
Once upon a time a man named Corey Smith ruled the Portland landscape. He was the big fish, swimming in a small pond, and both women and men loved and adored the tattooed artisan. Eventually Corey grew bored of the same venus, bars and people begging for his attention and acceptance, so he moved to the [...]
TJ being deep. p. Joel Fraser
TJ Schneider is one of the oldest CAPiTA Pro riders, one of the newest Bond Outerwear riders and one lucky guy for not blowing out both knees last year. With his personal video blog, The Snowboard Realms, up and running and Universal Healthcare giving his career the thumbs up, [...]
SIA Denver tried to party. It didn’t work out. One night we were given a treat though. Wu Tang showed up and did some rapping. Russell Winfield showed up too. If you don’t know who he is, you’re not worthy. I mean we did give him top honors in our black snowboarders poll and all. [...]
Day two of Denver SIA 2010 was as uneventful as the first. Once again a sea of random products flooded the showroom floor, no one came and the world of ski fashion gave Yobeat the boot. However, there was a first ever blog summit, we did explore the darkest corners of the show and Yobeat [...]
Yobeat finally made it to the first Denver hosted SIA, and while twitter was alive with positive comments I was pissed. Finding parking sucked, the local crack heads are boring, my body is itchy and uncomfortable in the dry Denver air and the show is boring. Booked during Winter X, and missing the attraction of [...]
The Winter X Games is going on in a little place called Aspen and Todd Richards is not announcing in order to save himself for the Olympics. But he is old as shit, and still has insight on the TV Show as he competed in the very first one! You know what though? Todd is [...]
Yobeat is headed to the first Denver SIA, so check back over the next few days to see what’s new, what’s stupid, who’s there and if Denver can compare to Vegas. Below is our Preview Post, company names and real names have been removed so they aren’t alerted to our mischief.
Being on a media list [...]
People from California are laid back. p. Stan Evans
Growing up in Truckee, CA, Kimmy Fasani had nothing better to do than hang with the dudes and huck backflips. A few hundred backflips later and Kimmy had three USASA National titles under her belt, she’d been on Burton, she’d been dropped by Burton, and she’d [...]
According to the news, my mom, your mom and a panaphobics everywhere, snowboarding is a dangerous past time. Sure you could get hurt doing your raw air dog double backies and what not, but just living life is pretty damn dangerous too—just take a look:
Snowboarding
Problem
Solution
Cold Fingers
Get better gloves.
Sore feet
Get better boots
Broken Wrist
You won’t always be [...]
A teaser from Back to the Boneyard, the only crew in Breckenridge guaranteed never to see their security check or carpet again. Enjoy the slickness.

It’s mid winter and Todd Richards happens to be a busy man. With two kids, a wife, a company or two and plenty of hosting gigs, Todd’s finding it harder and harder to relax, and more importantly, play Xbox. YoBeat is a caring company; we’re all about feelings here. With that in mind I thought [...]
Last weekendish the Dew Tour stopped in Snowbasin, Utah. While most folks partied in SLC or over at the DC Mountain Lab some stuck it out close to the hill in good ol’ Ogden. In the four days we were there a few bars actually ran dry of various popular beverages, a strip club has [...]
Todd Richards has been around long enough to know everything about snowboarding, women, the universe and genealogy. This led me to thinking, could Todd know the answers to the classic, “Why can’t chicks ride like dudes?” question. Well, let’s find out.
Who is the best Female Snowboarder of all time?
It’s a tie between Janna Meyen [...]
Apparent snowboarding “expert” Christine Brennan, who claimed the the International Olympic Committee to be the pinnacle of snowboarding, among other blasphemous bullshit, has caught serious flack on the interweb since her dumbfounding ABC interview regarding Kevin Pearce’s injury and the dangers of extreme snowboard trickery. The blogs blew up in anger, Todd Richards threatened to [...]
After Kevin Pearce slammed in Park City the media jumped all over the story because, well, they had something to talk about. While we send our best wishes to Kevin no real snowboarder will say, “Oh shit, we better ban that damn double twisty.” Most people aren’t real snowboarders though, including the claimed “expert” Christine [...]
The Costa Mesa-based fashion collaborative COMUNE, fresh off a successful Fall launch, has just dropped its third catalog. The Spring 2010 line is up on the COMUNE site and it looks jazzy. The denim line has expanded, their are some warmer weather options, and the entire line seems to have expanded and upped its quality.
While we have several dedicated columns, YoBeat also publishes individual and random articles. Every year a few of these articles just don’t go over real well for one reason or another. In 2008 it was Josh Sherman who flipped out on us, this year the big B lost its top, but our controversy generally turns into your [...]
