Brief summary about my journey and the NFT projects

My name is Nick Truscelli and I have been skateboarding for 20 years. It has always been a passion of mine purely for the love of it, however I’d be lying to you if I said I never aspired to become a professional. Unfortunately it never panned out the way I imagined, as you know sometimes that just how it goes. As Frank Sinatra says…. that’s life. :)

The journey has not been easy fighting for a dream in an industry that doesn’t guarantee financial stability. I’ve faced a lot of ridicule in my years for choosing such a rebellious sport/art form. Just like everyone else I’ve had to work countless jobs to survive, and I have acquired many skills outside of skateboarding that have kept me in the game. I’ll forever be grateful for the challenges I’ve faced.

This has been a journey of self reflection and self improvement, thru countless hours of hard work and perseverance. The eye of the tiger, the willingness to keep fighting for it even when it seems impossible.

I have skated amongst some of the biggest names in street skateboarding today in some of the biggest amateur contests. As humbly as possible, I may be one of the most overlooked skateboarders in the scene.

I started this NFT project because I believe other people outside of the industry will appreciate my art. I know that my hard work and sacrifice holds more value than what the skate industry has led me to believe. Thank you to all my supporters! <3
