My favorite part is where he doesn’t follow the etiquette of the board assist, snaking, or picking up trash.
We need Malto to release the pic of Biebel drunk in an elevator with his wiener hanging out.

Boy is good that's for sure.

Hes not my favorite but I dont see anything to hate on.

That's one fuck of alot of tricks for just cruising a park

I'm astounded how much skating has changed since I was a young buck. If I see that at 15 years old my mind would explode

He lands pretty soft on his board and is just cruising and he shows it. I don’t see it as forcing style. Some people take any flavor added as a crime against the art, but then rail against everyone else for having no personality in their skating or for being to robotic.

Agreed. He has a unique style with very interesting trick selection/variations, he skates very fast and commits fully to everything. People on here sound like total bitches. Jealousy maybe?

I remember seeing Karl Watson doing that nose slide 270 ages ago and I was thinking that it shouldn't look as good as it did.. Then I thought well, it is Karl Watson?

If I could turn back time... I did these good but as a dork trick.

The key is  popping out just like a k grind while being ready to rotate at the same time(shoulders turning prior)


Still a fuckin horrible trick but its fun

The music did not fit.

The filming was not good.

Austyn's skating was and is so much fun to watch. I do wonder about guys like Austyn that are so deep into the skinny pants look and how they will react as the baggy pants revolution progresses.

they need to get his shoe out ASAP ( i know it's coming but 12 months is too long) if he can be that good at having fun in a park in an afternoon and have 4 mins of good times footage

Im pretty sure it’s a rule at les to snake everyone in sight
