SAN DIEGO (AP) — Want to own a skateboard like the one Shaun White used to win his latest X Games gold medal?
The action sports superstar is expanding his empire with the Shaun White Supply Co., which will sell skateboards, BMX bikes, helmets and pads, ramps and grind rails in sporting goods stores across the country and online.
Although White says it’s “heavy” to have his name on his own company, he loves it that he gets to be his own boss. Plus, he promises that the quality will be far superior to the skateboards his mom bought for him at a swap meet when he was boy.
White will officially launch his product line Thursday in Las Vegas in conjunction with the final stop of the Dew Tour.
