E’ stato uno dei piloti sul quale i team avevano messo gli occhi: andava fortissimo e da ragazzino aveva vinto tutto a tutti i livelli, tanto che Dirt Shark gli aveva anche dedicato un video.
Cadute violentissime con conseguenti infortuni pesanti, hanno caratterizzato la carriera di questo pilota e fu proprio grazie ad una caduta che gli costo una commozione cerebrale, che il pilota del Missouri scoprì di avere una malformazione artero-venosa al cervello, ma nemmeno questo l’ha fermato.
Per molti anni pilota del Team Kawasaki Pro Circuit, ha sfiorato il titolo della 250, ma non ricordiamo una stagione, senza un infortunio.
Ora, nel Team Triumph, dopo altre cadute, altri infortuni pesanti, il suo fisico non ce la fa più e lo stesso pilota dichiara di non avere più massa muscolare ad un braccio e nella mano.
Legato a Rylee Jean Kirk, ad una delle Monster Girl più belle viste nel SX, Austin è diventato papà ed il secondo figlio è in arrivo.
Almeno la carriera di pilota, gli ha permesso di conoscere la persona con la quale ha costruito una famiglia.
In bocca al lupo!
Questi i risultati dell’impressionante carriera del pilota tra gli amatori.
