How Did They Meet?
Raisa and Austin aren’t just the hosts of the show but partners in real life. Probably with one of the most cute-meet stories. In an action sports event, Austin was producing and judging a BMX contest and there was an after-party for this event. As he walked into the party, he discovered a huge mural on the wall and was instantly fascinated by it. He kept asking around, inquiring about the artist that made the mural, and eventually, someone pointed him in her direction. They met each other for the first time, enshrouded by wonder and fascination. The now-couple danced and talked all night. A week later, Austin called Raisa up and said "I really like talking to you" and as they say, the rest is history.
When asked how it feels to film together, they answered saying that it feels like a concept of trust falling. When shooting till late, they often blast music and try to have fun to make sure that they don't feel fatigued. They also have a ritual where one says "Are we going to have fun, regardless?" and the other says "A 1000%."
It's not just their design but also their personalities and lives that complement each other. If you thought romance was dead, think again.
