not 1 for interweb beef myself (who am i joking i used to go on streetphire just to right "cunt" then log out) but word on the wire (a.k.a the pijin blog) has sparked a bit of controversy over the last few days in the soton stuntin scene...

Mike Netley i think ur a nice dude and thank u for takin the article photos and doin the whole thing for ride i am much appreciative of this but u have no right to say that the soton scene is weak when i have NEVER seen u ridin in town with the stunters down here, myself (Joel),  dan (dissrm) westlake, farmer d, MARK WESTLAKE (who comes all the way from LONDON to ride soton street), sam the man, paul, carlos, bonedave, and many others come out ridin on a regular basis especially dan westy, the farmer, and me (yeh i have been workin all summer but im a student needin cash so i got good excuse), and we ride all day and all night when we can, so all i can say is the soton scene is strong as fuck, where you at?

now with that all done and out the way onto better subjects,

firstly!

my new shiny s3 turned up yesterday and it was built up till it looked P-I-MUTHERFUKIN-M-P, after disputes with carlos about cranks and a drinkin seshion l8r i was persuded onto a set of raw colored profile cranks by fuck was that a bad choice... after riding for 5, yes, literally under 5 minutes i was back in pijin with a severally twistedly bent crankarm posing the question to carlos "so light AND strong you say???" but with a quick whipit from another box i had a new crank arm and a set of two tone cranks 1 black, and 1 raw pimp+ my jigga.

Dan picked me up a bit l8r in the evening and we went over to chandlers ford for a fresh sesh and a bit of a jive about, framer d, and paul turned up so we had a few heads rollin and the seshion kicked off, what i gotta say is this, farmer dan is a park machine he has been training so hard and now has the skills to back it all up, park riders of soton be warned farmer d is out to get you, with some huge volcano biz i saw, a huge 3, quick fliked bazzers, and some smooth dialled 180's, what i can back this up with is the fact that im sure soon enough these twists will have bazzers in and we will be seein sum 180 bazzers and trucks over stuff soon! getty onit farmer boy!!!

me and dan had a go at twisting the volcano which dan bust out pretty freshly and got it done, then it was my turn?, i dont like parks i was raised riding bikes on the streets but with all the heads bustin i switched off my brain and took it like it should and just span! 180's where fine (the first one nearly went to flat though) then it was time to put the extra twist in so off it went and straight to flat l8r there was a 3! done! spent a little while gettin them into the tranny and after a few go's got it and stopped before it went all wrong (again s3's are lush)

we rode some street after this in eastleigh at these tight flatbanks, farmer and me both got the bebs on it, dan launched the stair well gap and a few twists where sent over the hip, we went round the corner and rode the bank to rail aswell which me and dan took some spins to and got hops over the rail, over the rail into the bank, and 180 over the rail, then after a bit of bullying we got farmer boy to jump the rail too (excelent, i still got the talk).

thats about it really i dont know much of whats been goin on down here cuz i been back in the trowbo workin, all i got is s3's are lush, more people need to come ridin where the ridins at (get my number and come ride the centre), and lots more is comin soon cuz im gettin some filmin on the go so get in touch and lets get this thing rollin again!!!!

i meen this is the - Direct Involvement Southampton Street Riders' Movement, so get yourself directly involved in the streets of southampton and lets get these riders moving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also get well soon to marky westlake who bust his foot the other day, and also to young alex (i think) who broke his leg gettin run over (has know1 seen the hedgehogs highway code?) hope you kidders are out stuntin soon, get the numbers back up.

im off to glasgow on saturday with zardis and co (if i find out wots goin on) but will be back around mid next week to get my stunt on,

more blogs comin soon with photos, videos, and of course words!!!

KEEP IT STREET, Joel (mutherfukin) Nicholls, braaaaaaaappppppppppp!!!

(p.s. s3's are the best frame in the world!)
