AGK: What's up Bradley how yeah doin?
BH: Yo I am doing good just been having fun riding. I was out at Blue Mnt this past weekend for the Volcom PBRJ which was really fun came in 2nd(15 and Under). I am now looking forward to heading down to Ottawa this weekend with the "This Is Awesome" crew to do some filming.

AGK: So your 15 and you destroy on a snowboard when did you start?
BH: I got into the sport when I was 11 year's old after seeing my older brother ride alot I really wanted to try it out and from there I just took off.

AGK: You have quite a hefty list of sponsors, is there any pressure being so young to produce or is it natural for you?
BH:Well personally my sponsor's don't give me pressure I just think most of the time I just give my self the pressure.

AGK: What inspires you to go out and ride?
BH: The thing that inspires me the most is to go out and ride with the people that I ride with. We have such a fun crew every time we go shred we are always doing stupid and fun stuff.

AGK: What do you like to shred the most?
BH: I really enjoy riding the Outback at Louis it's always a fun time when riding there. But don't get me wrong the street's can be just as fun.

AGK: You're on DIALOGUE HEADWEAR tell me a little about them and the company.
BH: Well dialogue started in 2005 with custom crocheted toques then moved on to Machine Knit toques and screen prtinted tees. They have now grown big enough to expand the line to toques,tees,caps and they are major in the skateboarding and snowboarding community in Ontairo, Dialogue is runed and owned by Skaters/Snowboarders.
I would like to Thank Trevor Harris at dialogue for all the times I have slept on his couch to get filming done in Toronto. Dialogue is a big part of my snowboarding for me right now so show your respect and buy some hats.

AGK: Are you currently working on any videos?
BH: I am currently filming for the Dialogue video "This Is Awesome" which is going to be one of the most Banger video's. We have been filming since November and have been killing shit since then. So look for this video coming out in later fall. I am also filming for Very Really which has been a 2 year project going in to the last year Nate Butcher hopes to release it some time in the fall.

AGK: For people who don't know explain what goes into making a snowboarding video.
BH:For people that don't know what goes into a video. Well when you want to be in a video that is going to be produced you have to be fully committed and that means going out every week and filming handrails and trying to stack as many bangers you can. The more filming you can get done and the more tricks you stomp will just make your part that much better. But making a snowboard video means lots of time. So check out the Dialogue video in the fall to see how we got done.


AGK: How do yeah feel about AGK and what we do over here?
BH:You guys down at AGK seem like super stoked guys. When I came down to Niagara with Matt, you guys were out in the cold filming and shooting for us for that I give you guys prop's for. But its sick how your AGK Kr3w is tight that's what will bring out the fun in the sport.
