"Some times you meet someone and in the shortest amount of time grow a deep family like relationship with them. Brad and James Hawkins in this case are like my brothers. Brad soft spoken and modest, one of the most genuine and talented people I know. James well I'll let Brad speak on that. Brad's description is short and accurate, true Brad style, and to be honest you would truly have to meet James to know how great he is." -Jessie Jay



"Where do I start I guess the first would be to let you know that James is not only my younger brother, he is definitely my best friend. He has a live it up carefree attitude, which certainly shows in his riding. He enjoys the outdoors and has become some sort of a “Renaissance Man.” He plans on attending a school in Ontario, Canada to live in the woods for 10 weeks and learn how to build log cabins among other things. If you ever get to meet him you will be in for a goodtime for sure, maybe if your lucky enough he will treat you to some of his homemade wine, which is nothing short of amazing." -Brad Hawkins



"James Hawkins........ what can i say about the man. I met Brad and James for the first time about a year ago when we traveled south for the TLP/XTNT road trip and immediately felt a connection with the dudes! I dont know if James and i shared some kind of younger sibling connection seeing how both of us had older brothers on the trip but i do know it just clicked. He is just one of those genuinely nice and down to earth guys that after a day you just feel comfortable hugging, i guess james would be more pysched to hear a hot girl say that, but its the truth! He is an amazing rider and appearently an amazing woodsman. I already saw first hand how amazing he can flow a concrete park but i had to do some research on the extent site to realize this guy can handle wood just as well; building saunas, log cabins, and cups all out of wood is something i find unbelievable. Now its probably been a year since i've seen james and granted it was only a week long trip i'm still pumped i had the chance to meet him and think if you spend a day with him you'll feel the same way. I feel a little empty inside with out him! haha." -Kenny Miller
