After already conquering snowboarding and skateboarding before he turns 25, Shaun White is understandably bored. And, if you know anything about the young face of Xtreme Sports for almost a decade, it’s that White loves endorsement deals. Add BFGoodrich to Target and Hewlett-Packard on the list of companies that have nothing to do with snowboarding or skateboarding but will be paying White a chunk of change this year.
The above spot, “Flop Quiz,” is the first is a series of four spots from the Martin Agency that follow White’s journey into closed course racing with the support of BDGoodrich tires. White and his buddies (including Marshall, “the Facebook Friend”) may not blow the competition away on a pop quiz about how math applies to racing, but what do you call someone who gets C’s through med school? You call that person a doctor, and so White gets to race around for the following three spots leading to the “Final Exam Jam.” Credits and the other three spots after the jump.
