Austin's Unique BMX Style
Coleman is famous for his very unique riding style. He often creates completely new trick variations. He also tweaks existing tricks in ways only he has mastered. It seems impossible for others to do them like him.
Austin always tries to be diverse in his riding. This has led him to try many different types of BMX riding. His most recent interest is "Vert" riding. This means riding on a large halfpipe. He brings his special style to the halfpipe. He performs amazing "downside whips" that look so big. It seems impossible that he will land back on his pedals in time!
