(AP) — When Dennis Leedom, Adam Godwin and Josh Walker released their first-ever action sports helmet with a built-in visor, snowboarder Seth Wescott told them he'd win a gold medal wearing it at the Winter Olympics in Torino, Italy. Founded in 2004 by Leedom inside a 500-square-foot barn in Duxbury, Bern Unlimited is the only independent company to design and manufacture head protection for non-motorized action sports. While skaters, skiers, bikers and wake boarders often have to switch between helmets depending on the sport and season, Bern was the first to offer adaptable, all-season helmets with removable liners that boast both safety and style. While the company has seen tremendous growth and its Kingston facility is busting at the seams, Leedom and Walker said they have no intention of moving the company headquarters out of the state.
