Ever wondered how much Shaun White costs? Well you may well find out as he is up for auction on eBay! Well ok, he’s not up for sale per se, but the opportunity to hit the slopes and snowboard with the Olympic gold medallist is up for grabs to the lucky winning bidder.
The bidding will run through until Friday 13th November and will close at 7pm PST, which is 8 hours behind the UK. Also (rather annoyingly) the bidding is restricted to pre-approved buyers only, and those interested must email the seller beforehand to gain approval.
So what does the winner get? Well a snowboarding session with Shaun White himself, which many would consider impressive on its own, and then there is lunch with the man himself, to allow you time to have a chat with Shaun.
But wait there is more! Also included are two one-day VIP passes (so you can bring a friend) to the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championship on March 16th to the 21st which is held at Stratton Mountain in Vermont.
If you need some snowboarding gear for your session don’t worry as that is included too, as a matter of fact there will be a complete set-up from Burtons ‘The White Collection’. This will include a snowboard, snowboard bindings and full outerwear. Oh and you get one nights accommodation in a four star hotel on March 20th.
So what’s the downside? Unfortunately travel to and from Stratton Mountain will be the winning bidder (and/or guests) responsibility.
All benefits from the auction will go to Right to Play, a great organisation that uses sports and play programs to improve health and develop life skills in children and communities in some of the globes most disadvantaged and underprivileged areas. Check out the video below of Shaun in Rwanda spending time with the children there and teaching them how to skateboard.
