Skater, Artist, Icon: The Rise of Nora Vasconcellos | Let it Kill You – VICE
Nora Vasconcellos moved from Pembroke, Massachusetts, to Southern California in pursuit of a career as a professional skateboarder. Though it was a tough transition—sharing a bed with her mom while adjusting to a new environment—her perseverance paid off. She connected with Welcome Skateboards at the brand’s inception, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey.
From there, Nora quickly rose to prominence, not just as a leading figure in women’s skateboarding but as a force within skateboarding as a whole. With her vibrant personality, artistic flair, and raw, powerful skating, she became one of the biggest names in action sports. As the first female skateboarder to be signed by Adidas, Nora’s achievements continued to mount, solidifying her place in the sport’s history.
This is a glimpse into Nora’s unique approach to art, skateboarding, and life itself.
