FIXED GEAR ARCHIVE

AJ Austin

BIO:

AJ Austin is a Texas native 700c FGFS rider who rose to prominence around 2009. His friendship and edits with John Watson, Eric Puckett, and Justin Taylor brought AJ to the frontlines of the early Fixed Gear trick scene and helped put the Texas scene on the map.

His goofy, loud personality was very notable and often was at the forefront of the content he was featured in. He was also the first to land a lawnmower on a Fixed Gear.
