BMX and VH1 Superstar! CORY “NASTY” NASTAZIO!!!

May 3, 2012

Dustin Grice isn’t but a few days into his ventures of BMX at Xfest in the UK, and check out who he LINKS up with! BMX Wonder… CORY “NASTY” NASTAZIO, one of the hosts of the VH1s XLife!!! Cory is a BMX rider, known worldwide for his dirt jumps. He’s a busy guy, with a lot of energy. He’s funny, he’s charming, and can be quite the ladies man. He’s the most sensitive in the bunch, but is no stranger to getting wild. He considered quitting a few years ago, after his good friend, Stephen Murray, was paralyzed from a BMX accident. But, under Stephen’s pushing, he kept with the sport.

Cory has been on top of his sport for 15 years and received the silver metal at Xgames and Dew Tour; the gold at Australia X games and is a two time Noro cup winner and three time overall point leader in Panasonic BMX dirt tour. Thanks so much for Link’n Up With Us and showing support. We really appreciate it Cory.

….sometimes you just need a little help from your friends, and other times you make new friends during a very difficult time. This is what happened to our family when our son, Brett Banasiewicz, suffered a traumatic brain injury on his BMX bike on August 23, 2011. Dustin Grice is one of Brett’s BMX buddies that reached out to us about the Link Foundation. Jeff Troldahl, founder of the Link Foundation, and Dustin Grice designed a “Maddog” bracelet with Brett’s signature colors pink and green. The Link Foundation sold many bracelets via the internet and also allowed us to sell the bracelets at Brett’s BMX Skate Park. The proceeds went to Brett’s mounting medical bills. Brett was able to obtain the best care in the United States that also included hyperbarics. Brett had to relocate to Texas because the state of Indiana is not licensed to administer hyperbarics for TBI’s..
