Legendary snowboarder/MTV host/Olympic commentator Todd Richards is one of the names attached to a new site, awsm.com, which highlights cool gear in a similar fashion to the already-growing-in-popularity werd.com.



Yes, the site is probably a clever marketing tool from the companies who prominently advertise on it — Quiksilver, Nixon, Coal, and Element are just a few of the obvious. But it’s kind of cool to see the gear they’re highlighting, and the site is pretty stylish. There’s a lot of crossover between PWC and snow, surf, and skate, so I’m passing it along.


If anyone feels the need to thank me, a nice Nixon watch would be just fine…
