Austin Miller – Summer Favorites

November 22, 2013

[video_widget]

One of the best parts about waking up every day is checking out all of the different submissions for the Daily Section that we get from all over the world. Because of it, I’ve ended up talking to people I’ve never met from countries I’ve never been to more than people I grew up with that I still see pretty frequently. Austin Miller might not be from another country, but there’s no denying that he’s always actively sending through new videos he put together for us to check out. We were talking a little while back and decided it would be rad to feature one of his videos, so he went out and stacked a few clips over the last few months he was stoked on. The footage might be a little rough and it’s not the craziest riding to ever grace the internet, but it’s rad because Austin went out of his way to put in work for this video for us all to check out. So hit that play button and take a peek! Shout out to Austin and everyone that chipped into film a clip or two for him.

“Every year, we make a video featuring our team riders on our complete bikes to show how similar these bikes are to their personal bikes. The geometry is the same between the completes and the team’s personal bikes. Our goal is to make our complete bikes as similar as possible to the team’s bikes, so you can learn as easy as possible. Aaron Ross, Gary Young, Alex Magallan and Chris Childs are featured shredding the bikes in this video. Again, these aren’t the rider’s personal bikes just the same bike you can buy at your local Sunday dealer.“

“Story behind the photo: Scotty Cranmer and Matty Cranmer Can Slap photo
I showed up at Cranmer’s skatepark in September for a couple days of Vans photos and before the door could even close behind me Cranmer was asking me to set-up for a photo. Haha. This guy. So I go and get all my gear and as I’m setting up on the wall ride he is explaining to me that he wanted to fufanu or wall slap this can on Monster on the wall ride for a photo and they were about to film it.
Watch the video and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Some slick editing by Matty Cranmer. what you don’t see is the steel reinforced pole inside of the Monster Can. http://youtu.be/laFlOf4OisY
So he indeed did stall on that skinny ass can just above the wall ride. Just another day in the life of the wonder kid.
