Ikua Hughes grew up around motocross, but his childhood was much different than most amateur racers today—he wasn't homeschooled, his family didn't make racing a priority, and he got to experience everything that comes along with being a kid. Now at 21 years old, Ikua is making his own decisions, moving south to San Diego and concentrating on becoming a successful professional racer.
