OTHER STUFF WITH BRAD HUGHES

WHY SNOWBOARDING? It just brings pure happiness, I can’t get enough of it! Being on the hill whether it’s with the homies or just getting them soul laps it’s beautiful whatever!

PERFECT DAY? Probably spring, get up early enough that it’s slightly hard, sun shinning. Then coming into the afternoon getting supper slushy! Dang that would be nice right about now!

WHEN YOU’RE NOT SNOWBOARDING? Trying to skate a bunch! Also riding mountain bikes and working full time.
