Born and raised where?
Denver, CO

When not skating, I’m…
Probably editing skate footage. **GOT’EEM**

Favorite skaters to ride with
Riders that are new to the sport of downhill! Having the privilege to help other skaters develop and/or refine their skills is always special to me.

Sponsors
Seismic Skate and SKELLER STUDIOS®

Favorite Seismic products
Trishul

Skate heroes then and now
Roy Wolf ||. Dude was an absolute fucking legend. Only skater I’ve known to die skating, get revived, then shred even harder for decades after. He was a pillar to the downhill community and one of my dearest of friends!

Favorite quote
“Whether you like it or you don’t…learn to love it…because it is the best thing going today (Woah!)”.
-Rick Flair

Most memorable achievement
Watching a skate video of mine at a movie festival was pretty far out (shout out to Scott Hardesty).

Goals for the future
Curating skate footage has become an obsession of mine so I hope to someday develop a new and refreshing media platform that’ll showcase downhill skating for its rawness through an artistic lens.

Seismic Skate is proud to sponsor Skateventure South America:

This is a 2500-kilometer human-powered, carboNZero-certified journey, starting near Machu Picchu (Peru) and finishing in the spectacular Patagonia region of Chile.

On December 11, 2011, native Kiwis Troy, Alan, and Guy began their longboarding journey, which they hope will inspire others to experience life and travel on an environmentally-sustainable basis.

After Maryhill, we had a chance to catch up with Austin Joseph Nicassio and find out how our 76 mm Purple Hot Spots performed throughout the event:

“The best thing for me was their acceleration in and out of turns, the performance core complimented the outstanding rebound of the black opps urethane that created the exit speeds necessary for racing and advancing on the Maryhill Loops Road. Along with the core helping exit speeds, it also kept my wheel lips stronger which allowed me to have a more firm yet smaller contact patch and intern still offer more grip for more nimble and faster racing lines than my opponents.”
