Baltimore, MD – Baltimore-based performance apparel maker Under Armour announced Thursday that the company has re-signed X Games skiing star Bobby Brown to a multi-year endorsement deal. Brown has earned the unique distinction of being the only skier to win two gold medals at the same Winter X Games competition. Under the terms of the agreement, which were not disclosed, Brown will be featured in various advertising promotional campaigns and will serve as a key winter sports ambassador for the brand.n“Bobby Brown is on the cusp of stardom and has accomplished some remarkable feats at a young age,” said Kip Fulks, Senior Vice President, Outdoor and Innovation for Under Armour. “Despite his success, he remains hungry and humble, and he is poised to electrify his fan base once again at the upcoming Winter X Games and beyond.”
In his burgeoning career, Brown has already made his mark on the slopes. In 2010, as an 18-year-old, he captured gold medals in Ski Slopestyle and Ski Big Air at Winter X Games in Aspen. He continued his dominance taking first place at the Freeski Slopestyle Championships at Mount Snow, Vt., and third place at Snowbasin, Utah, giving him a second place finish in the overall Freeski Slopestyle standings for the 2010 Winter Dew Tour. As a result of his stellar 2010 season, Bobby was named overall Association of Freeskiing Professionals (AFP) Slopestyle Champion. He is also recognized as the first skier to land the “Switch Double Misty 1440” trick, which earned him the first-ever perfect score in the Ski Big Air Contest at Winter X Games.
“Under Armour has been a staple of mine since I began competing, and I am extremely excited to extend my partnership with them,” said Brown. “Between training and competitions, I spend hours on the mountain, and Under Armour’s technical gear is one of the main reasons I am able to perform at my best.”
Brown is the latest championship caliber winter sport athlete to join the Under Armour family, which includes Olympic medalist Lindsey Vonn, snowboarder Chas Guldemond, five-time Time X Games Medalist Jen Hudak and skier Justin Dorey.
