By 1994 snowboarding was an exhibition sport at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer; since then it has become one of the most popular sports in the Olympics. Todd Richards was there through it all and, as he tells his story, he shares the history of his sport.\nTodd Richards is one of the biggest names in pro snowboarding. Now his image is on PlayStation games, plastic toys and countless magazines. Hes won world championships and X Games medals. Known for his wit, work ethic, and front side 900, Todd has helped bring snowboarding out of obscurity and into the limelight. The sport continues to gain momentum through growing media coverage, and no professional embodies the image and attitude of snowboarding better than Todd Richards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"It Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44953725665333,"sku":"ByrdShop_0060761792","price":227.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780060761790_edf927f9-c79e-45d1-8278-d41192602f56.jpg?v=1778906247","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/p3-pipes-parks-and-powder-9780060761790","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
