Acknowledged as one of the most influential riders in freestyle snowboarding- Todd Richards continues to make his mark in an industry he helped create.
A film by Award winning director Josh Landan, “Me, Myself and I” reveals the story of a man hailed as one of the most decorated snowboarders in history- from birth to legend. Todd Richards exposes all layers as he chronicles his life on film for the very first time. He was introduced to the sport in its infancy, and took over as it was catapulted onto the world’s stage. Riding professionally for over 19 years, Todd is a force to be reckoned with, dominating Winter X Games, Vans Triple Crown and the US Open. Not only was he the first gold medal X-Games winner, he also participated in the first US Snowboarding team at the 1998 Nagano Olympics.
This feature length documentary will surely entertain, educate and captivate its audience. Todd created success with his wit, competitive drive, and positive outlook on life- inspiring the hero in all of us.

In a sea of fancy filming, cable cams, rocket pack follow filming, and helicopters filming helicopters in the “other” videos today, Videograss will be there to keep snowboard videos focused on reality; raw snowboarding, personality, and progression. When well known pros shredders Mikey LeBlanc, Nima Jalali, and Darrell Mathes started this new production company they carefully picked out their wish list of pros and ams regardless of sponsors or money.
The result is a video that is taking the phony out of snowboarding! Videograss lets personality drive the movie as much as the snowboarding does. There are no part skippers in this video, just a lot of Fisheyes, booze, good music, and of course top notch snowboarding. The kids will be wearing out their dvd players on this one.
For the Burton Team, the 2009 season started just like any other- resort and heli laps from New Zealand to North America and Europe, pipe, park, backcountry, and Stash runs, with riders leaving their mark at every stop. The snow-covered streets of Salt Lake, Minneapolis and sleepy European villages were explored. Corks were doubled and rails were combo’d as waves of winter storms cleaned and set a new slate for mission after successful mission. It was another dream season, but something was different this time. Something bigger, and more iconic, something so over the top that the movie had to bear its name.
Burton is proud to present “The B”, a snowboard film featuring the riding of Jeremy Jones, Jussi Oksanen, Nicolas Müller, Frederik Kalbermatten, Keegan Valaika, and Shaun White with appearances by Danny Davis, Terje Haakonsen, Mason Aguirre, Kevin Pearce, Mads Jonsson, Natasza Zurek, Mikey Rencz, Luke Mitrani, Jack Mitrani, Mark Sollars, Charles Reid, Gabi Viteri, Spencer O’Brien, Mikkel Bang, Sani Alibabic, Marko Grilc, Peetu Piiroinen, Kim Rune Hansen, Stephan Maurer, Chris Sörman, Kazu Kokubo, Takaharu Nakai, and Kyle Mack.
