Following the American professional skateboarder Tony Hawk’s first non-fungible token (NFT) sale on the NFT marketplace Autograph, Hawk is commemorating his career with a new series of NFTs called the “Last Trick” collection. The popular skateboarder’s latest digital collectibles showcase his most memorable tricks like the “Frontside Cab,” “Gymnast Plant,” and “Finger Flip” in animated NFT form.
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 be astonished by audiences even into his later years. Hawk, also nicknamed Birdman, was one of the first professional skaters to complete the 900 (a 2½-revolution or 900-degree spin) at X Games V in 1999. Hawk completed the trick after completing it ten times. Since then, a few other skateboarders have also made the feat.
Hawk, a bitcoin fan (BTC), claims that he bought the cryptocurrency asset after learning about Silk Road. This skateboarder turned entrepreneur also likes NFTs. Recently, Hawk offered his first NFT collection on the Tom Brady-created Autograph NFT market. Hawk was able to sell out the Preseason Access collection in a matter of minutes. He also chose five iconic skateboard tricks, and made animated NFTs from them.
“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 selected five of my signature tricks to retire and reinterpreted them in animated NFTs that will last forever.”
Hawk’s NFTs to Showcase His Signature Varial 5, Gymnast Plant, Magic Dance, Front Side Cab, and Finger Flip
Hawk’s latest NFT tricks will include the “Varial 5,” “Gymnast Plant,” “Magic Dance,” “Front Side Cab,” and “Finger Flip.” The collection had an early access deadline lasting from December 14 until December 16. Today, at 5 p.m. EST, Autograph’s Tony Hawk “Last Trick” collection will start its public drop. The official NFT reveal date will be on December 21, 2021, and the early access period was set aside for owners of the Tony Hawk “Preseason Access Pass.”
The website states that the trick has been made into 16600 digital collectibles. Each NFT also contains a specific level of rarity. The rarity tiers in the “Last Trick” NFT collection are called carbon, platinum, emerald, sapphire, and ruby. Some are dubbed “Immortal Statue,” and some of the NFT collectibles have a “mystery container” tethered to the NFT as well.
“It’s humbling to see how these tricks are taking on new life in the digital era even after I’ve performed my last ones,” Hawk concluded. “It allows fans the opportunity to experience them once again in a new way.”
