Hometown: Encinitas, California

Axell “Slay” Hodges loves filming his moto sessions around his home with his friends. Slay is all about having fun and doing what makes him happy. That might be why he’s built a solid reputation by posting his massive whips, turn downs, and creative tricks like wheelies, stoppies, transfers, and more on Snapchat and Instagram. In addition to his strong social media game, Slay has won the Best Whip title at the X Games and competed in events like Step Up, Real Moto, and FMX Quarterpipe. When he’s not tearing it up on his bike, you can find him enjoying his favorite tacos at Rico’s Taco Shop in his hometown of Encinitas, California.
