AUSTIN AUGIE – IN THE VOLVO – BMX

Finally! Episode 6 of the In The Volvo featuring the one and only Austin Augie. Full disclosure, this episode was shot at the end of January—a week before RideBMX as we knew it was no more. Fast forward through a few months of limbo and sorting out what the hell we were going to do, and here we are—back In The Volvo, for Our BMX. Our guest Mr. Aughinbaugh is currently living it up, traveling the world as a model working for some of the biggest names in the fashion world, riding pro for Fit, and he’s a YouTube vlogsmith, as well. Austin has his hand in multiple pots at once, but despite the bad rap he occasionally gets, the dude checks out. Love him or hate him, here’s your chance to get to the core of Austin Augie—and keep in mind that this episode was shot a few months back, so some things may no longer be current.
