About the “Ollie 540” the theme of his NFT he said, “Today I decided to do “Ollie 540” one more time … and never again” Hawk said. “My willingness to slam unexpectedly into the flat bottom has waned greatly over the last decade.”
And that last moment his minting and selling, could you imagine the joy that will bring to skateboarding fans all over the globe?
