Long before the days of slim black jeans, cigarettes and powerfully flicked switch kickflips, Austyn was a clean cut Cali kid. His part in Habitat Skateboard’s Inhabitants was his first visual outing with the company since outgrowing Termite and settling down with Joe Castrucci and co. Obvious and fairly drastic outfit changes are the main difference between the young Austyn we have here and the one we know today and though he spent a number of years with the company, the brown pants that are a staple of the Habitat brand appeared to have also been outgrown following this part.

There is more focus on technical tricks here, as seen with the backside 180 fakie 5-0 shove and switch back tail bigspin shortly afterwards, as well as the nollie 180 switch crook shove out later on. However, his trademark loose yet powerful style he would mature into is clearly already there.
