These digital collectibles from the skateboarder are animated NFT forms of his most famous tricks, including “Frontside Cab”, “Gymnast Plan” and “Finger Flip”.

Birdman Launches 16,600 ‘Last Trick’ NFTs

Tony Hawk, a professional skateboarder, is widely regarded as one of the greatest in the world. He invented many tricks during his youth and continues to amaze people into his later years. Hawk, also nicknamed Birdman, was one of the first professional skaters to complete the 900 (a 2 1/2 -revolution or 900-degree spin) at X Games V in 1999. It took ten attempts for Hawk to complete the skateboard trick and since then a few others have landed the 900-degree spin as well.

Hawk is also a fan of bitcoin (BTC) and claims he purchased the crypto asset in 2012 after reading about the Silk Road marketplace. He is also a skateboarder and entrepreneur and has recently made available his first NFT collection through the Tom Brady-created Autograph NFT Marketplace. The Preseason Access collection featuring Hawk sold out in minutes and to commemorate his career he selected five signature skateboard tricks and turned them into animated NFTs.

“After seeing how quickly my Preseason Access collection sold out, I was inspired to do something bigger and more personal with my latest assortment of NFTs,” Hawk said in a statement. “For the Tony Hawk ‘Last trick’ collection with Autograph I chose five of my signature tricks to retire, and reinterpreted them into animated NFTs that last forever
