About NDE COLLECTIVE
Make the most of what you have, some don't survive the reaper's touch
Our slogan hits close to home. NDE Collective was started by Rick Scammell, a man passionate about the outdoors and being active; from mountain bikes to road bikes, boxing to Muay Thai, wakeboarding, surfing, and skydiving, Rick is a man who takes life by the balls.
The NDE in NDE Collective stands for Near Death Experience
Rick's happened in 2019 in the form of a dirt bike accident, causing a burst fracture in his T4 vertebrae, resulting in paraplegia (paralysed from the chest down). This didn't stop Rick from being active; his offroad wheelchair allows him to get out and about for adventures.
Rick's passion for clothing apparel had sat in the back of his mind for years. Still, it wasn't until he was sat in a hospital recovering for 9 months that he decided to take the leap.
NDE Collective is a brand that aims to create comfortable clothing that displays your personality.
We want to highlight people's interests and raise awareness that accidents can happen when we least expect them. We want to maintain a balance reminding people to be careful but to still go out there and seize the day.
Rick has many passions and experiences in different sports and activities. He's started the artwork designs for NDE with activities that he's most passionate about. In the long term though, he would like to cover all adventure sports so that everyone can be part of the NDE Collective.
Remember, Make the most of what you have, some don't survive the reaper's touch.
