For those of you who don't know who Brian is: 3 years ago he was one of the top up and coming riders in Northern CA. He Unfortunately blew his knee on a double up and had to have surgery. He went through rehab and than blew it again his first month back on the water. Now after 3 years and 2 surgery's, Brian is Back. He's been riding since the middle of August and is slowly on the come back trail. He's riding as smooth as ever and is just beginning to get back into his giant bag of tricks. Already stomping: grabbed BS 180's and 3's in all directions, toe off 5, switch toe off 5, and switch crowmobes. Brian Austerman is definitely someone to look out for. I posted a couple of photos from yesterday but they don't really do him justice. Welcome back Brian!
Thats great, Brian is a super cool guy. I met him in accounting class when he was going to JC down here in SLO. Super chill and very encouraging. That switch crow mobe is so easy for him, what a punk.
One of the most inspiring days on the water I've experienced was watching he & Daniel Doud trade rides and Daniel asking for Brian's Mobes and Brian asking for Daniel's tech spins.
Yeah brian is definately one of the most talented guy's ive ever ridden with i remember telling him try a few fairly tech tricks like tootsies and 911's he landed them 1st or second try. Watch for him this next year.
