YoBeat: Making Fun of Snowboarding Since 1997

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

After an incredible Hump Day with Todd, it was decided Todd’s unique views on current events, toys, sex and life needed to be explored further. Since that fateful day Todd has sat down to answer five questions for the Yobeat audience to enjoy every Friday. Below are five of the better Q&A moments from the [...]

It’s December now and depending on where you call home it’s either snowy, frozen, or a worthless place to live. Next week the Dew Tour makes it’s first stop in Breckenridge, cutting the ribbon for the upcoming mega-tv-contest season, and Todd Richards will be there, in a booth, talking shit while wearing massive headphones.
Yobeat: [...]

It’s hard being an aging legend. Just ask Todd Richards. Forced to fly around the world, paid to talk about nothing of importance, and eventually return to his sunny So-Cal home where his only fitness options are surfing, skating, snowboarding, bike riding, anything aquatic or land oriented actually. Never mind, Todd Richards has it fucking [...]

Todd Richards has been to the Olympics (before it was cool), has helped his wife pop kids out, and has already experienced a snowboard career that none of you could even hope to obtain, so bottom line, dude is old. The real question is, does Todd agree? Well, let’s find out.
1. You’ve had a legendary career, been to the [...]

Obviously working for Yobeat is paying off huge for Mr. Todd Richards as he just hosted a gig on MTV! Now that the Music Television Station no longer offers music, they have been scrambling for new “legit” shows.  Last night MTV ran a Parkour challenge. You know parkour, it’s that French sport where people run and jump/flip/spin through [...]

When I heard a woman had given birth to Jabba the Hut Jr. I knew Todd had to be in the loop. Why? Because Todd had babies once, and he’s seen the whole birthing process. Todd didn’t think it was that funny that a woman had pushed out a monster, he was more sympathetic, but [...]

Talk to Todd Richards and he’ll tell you that he is proud of his family, career, and his tiny dancer. While Louie might not be kicking enough ass over at ABC to get his board graphic shown on national TV, he is in negotiations with Todd to get an O-Matic neck tattoo, or at least [...]

So Mr. Todd Richards is busy this week chasing the great wave. Apparently the coast of Florida is about to get rocked by some huge waves due to a a storm swell off the coast. The name of this wicked wave is Hurricane Bill or something like that. Since Todd is busy chasing the dream [...]

What a wild week. Ex-Presidents rescue people from North Korea, snowboarders acted like snowboarders, and we are headed to Mars! With all of this going on Todd’s secret identity, God, must be in a rage. It’s hard to take the weight of the world day in and day out, but someone has to do it. [...]

Old Man Winter is headed to Government Camp yet again for what should be a great end to an amazing summer. The TR-minator, as Todd would now like to be called, is a “signature pro” during session six of HCSC.  This week we went over what makes Todd tick, smile, frown, and kill when he [...]

Welcome to Yobeat’s first installment of High Fives with Todd Riachards. Each week, or wheneverhe can take the time out of his busy schedule, Todd will answer five questions about some current affair. This week we will be discussing the hot button issue of Somali pirates. Enjoy.
