Video Check Out: Austin Thongvivong | TransWorld SKATEboarding

Age: 18 Home: Portland, Oregon Sponsors: Nike SB, Ashbrook Clothing, Lacorda Threads, Tactics Boardshop Am who should be pro: Jack Olson. Pet peeve: When someone is never fired up in a heated session. First skate video you saw: Fully Flared. When you're not skating you're: Relaxing at home chillin' with the family. Best style: Morgan Smith. Advice from your TM: Have fun skating all the time. Road trip essentials: Water, my phone, my skateboard, and homies. Thing you'd do if the world ended tomorrow: I would huck my self down El Toro as the world ends. That way I can say I jumped down it without killing my legs. Austin is straight on another level, watching him is surreal. He almost never bails, every trick he pops is followed by 100-percent commitment. He's always the most hyped dude at the park. No matter how much you think you love skateboarding, Austin loves it more.—Kyle RIchner
