Fox celebrates IPO with NYC snowmobile jump
If you were Fox Factory Holding Corp., how else would you celebrate your company’s initial public offering than with a snowmobile stunt in New York’s crowded Times Square?
Held in front of the NASDAQ Market site in Midtown Manhattan on Aug. 7 just before the market opened, a large crowd of onlookers and company officials were on hand to watch a professional rider jump a 15-foot gap to celebrate the company’s major financial milestone.
You can watch a video of the jump here; a news release from the company follows.
