Ripping. The nose slide 270 at the end is a trick that should never look good but somehow he made it shine.

The ultimate 'style' of looking like you're not trying, even though you are trying. I fucking hate skateboarding in 2018.

Also I’ve heard people in my neck of the woods talk about LES park and call it “Less Park.” Send the nukes.

I wish I could do those tricks while looking like I'm not trying but actually AM trying.

And hasn't he pretty much skated like that for as long as he's been around?

I don't think he was trying hard. He's consistent and stylish. I love watching people skate like that. That's not fake

I turned the audio on about a minute in and I totally hate whoever put that song over this beautiful skating. He's one of the very very very select group of people whose skating looks just as good filmed like this. Most people owe a lot to their filmer but Austyn looks good on security cam.

If you think his style is fake or forced or not natural then just how good do you think he is to skate like that AND put on a show while doing it? Get your heads out of your asses.

I think his style is amazing but he does force it a little bit, little slow motion after landing. Again i'm not a part of the all or nothing movement. I'd say his style is 90% great and 10% contrived.

I def got those fake steez vibes that people speak of, mainly just on rollaways and like little kickturns on ramps right after tricks. But I'd be lying if I said I didn't try to look cool and graceful sometimes, too!

it must be nice knowing your casual hour at the park is better than 99% of normal peoples best efforts.

seen him skate LES around 2012 manny mania contest- dude went fast as hell all through the park and barely did tricks but a switch fs 180 on flat that was above waist high and i totally could not tell his stance anymore after seing him skate in person!

one of the greats right now and one of my favourite styles

Damn, that one was on point as well. They both did it in a similar way; the spin isn’t “flat” if that makes senses. I think it’s the way they actually pop out, compared to those who just kind of pivot out of em where it pretty much doesn’t count.

Your boy Nick Jensen would like a word...

Best one ever done. Period. The little tweak before he pulls out of it... woof.

Austin can jog on.

My favorite part is where he doesn’t follow the etiquette of the board assist, snaking, or picking up trash.

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

Post by: waltercronkite on August 18, 2018, 08:30:56 AM
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?

Post by: Betaphenylethylalamine on August 18, 2018, 04:56:42 PM
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

Post by: jacktharipper on August 19, 2018, 08:36:52 PM
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
