After claiming silver at the 2000 X Games and gold at the Australian X Games in 2002, Nastazio's accomplishments earned him the NORA Cup in 2002 and 2003. His career took an unexpected turn in April 2004 when his Honda Civic crashed into a tree and he ended up in the ICU for two weeks. Despite a hemorrhage on one side of his brain, broken ribs and a collapsed lung, he made a full recovery. Since that time, he has returned with a vengeance, winning the 2006 Extreme Thing contest and finishing in the top 10 overall in the Dew Tour's BMX dirt rankings in both 2005 and 2008. He is noted just as much for his tattoos, spiky hair and insane personality as for his skills on a bike, Nasty's popularity has landed him on the pages of Maxim, Rolling Stone and Stuff magazines. Nastazio has two children, Trey and Londyn.
