Skater, Artist, Icon: The Rise of Nora Vasconcellos | Let it Kill You
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- 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.

Nora is one of my best friends in the world. When I lost my job in 2023 she bought my kids a ton of Christmas presents, wrapped them all personally and sent them to my house so there would be something under the tree for my kids. She told me how when she was growing up her family had really hard years so she knew what it felt like. Nora is a real one. Im glad Vice did this episode on her.
You’re awesome too! Always stoked to hear you on Vent City!
That’s fantastic, truly
Amazing, Nora is a good human...
@@hassan4773 ❤️❤️❤️
I think all parents should watch this as a PSA to see an inspiring way to raise children
I worked with Nora's mom at a golf course in california, she was awesome and was so excited to tell me that Nora released a new shoe with adidas, she might not remember that but it was really cool to hear about and to experience the excitement from her.
I also worked with Nora’s mom, but at Apple a few years prior. Probably one of the most positive people I’ve met. Cool to see what great parents she has.
Her mom knows what’s up, free golf. I cooked at a course for free golf one summer.
Hearing the way everyone speaks so highly of Nora is a true testament of how genuine she is. You can sense it in her way of skating and art. Forever one of the coolest people in skating!
Welp. Her dad made me tear up there at the end.
This has been such a great series. Well done to the entire team behind it. 👏
This is the type of Vice we love!
Great content.
Nora is such a sick skater and an absolute vibe!!
Such a huge fan of hers
Met Nora couple years back when she came to volunteer her time teaching snowboarding to the youth I worked with at an action-sports education nonprofit. She was generous, genuine, humble and a real light. I was fanning out and she fielded my many questions gratefully. Our students were lucky to meet a real hero of mine in the flesh. Thank you Nora
NORA!! 🙌💜💜💜
Zio supporting brand , smh
I met Nora a few years ago, and she was so kind. What a great story that only has begun.
Thank God you're not a one-armed girl who got your arm eaten by a shark who doesn't believe an abortion otherwise she would tear you to pieces

Ngl I had a Nora phase where I did the one rail, drew on my griptape, and liked the lavender color. Had a skate crush on her during her vlog days.
She’s a gift to the universe. Let’s go Nora 🎉
Grift to the universe. She's a legend pro now?
Nora, you were a beast back in the day at Rye Airfield. It was great to ride with you back then. It's awesome to see what you've become!!

Super inspiring as a Dad who’s had a rough couple of years and a kid that is super artistically inclined. Pandemic took the wind outta our sails but no joke after watching this i’m starting an art project with my 14 yr old daughter tomorrow. Thank you Nora for being you

Nora has milked it harder than any other skater
Songs at 1:45, 11:37 & 24:49? Insane that they’re not even in the credits along with the other ones
