Brayden Hudnall

My name is Brayden Hudnall and I am from St. Louis MO.  I started skateboarding in the summer of 2019 when I was 7.  

I often get asked how I got into skateboarding.  My mom originally brought home a small $5 Penny Board from Five Below.  When my dad saw the board he was immediately like “no way are you riding that junk… I have an old BAM Element board in the basement you can try if you want to ride.  But if my son is going to skate ..it should be on a real board."

My dad showed me some of the basics like pumping, an ollie, pop shove it and more.  I then begged him to take me to the local skate park.  He said that he wouldn’t take me until I learned at least 10 tricks.  So I went to the driveway for a few hours, jumped on YouTube, found Braile Skateboarding and ended up learning 20 new tricks.  The rest is history. 

Since then my dad has been capturing my tricks on videos and posting them on YouTube so I can track my progress and be able to look back at all my sessions.
