I was out riding yesterday in the Wandsorth area with a few of the wannie massive we were having a good time riding a few of their local spots some curved walls a kinked legde and some cool banks. We headed off to this small youth club run ashphelt racetrack that i'd ridden a couple of years back and found the gate open. We went in androde for about 5 - 10 minutes and then the youth workers came over to move us on cos kids wee gonna be turning up soon. We chatted to them about the forthcoming "skatepark" that may get dropped there then got on our way when it looked as though the other youthworkers turned up with a bunch of youffs. This place has a largish fence round it now and a small gate which we ququed to get through the bunch of youths did'nt seem in too mch of a hurry to get in so nick started to get throgh the gate when one of them said off, off the bike so nick withoust saying a thing turned around but they all grabbed at his bike and started pullung it through his legs punching him in the back as they did so. I grabed his crossbar and tried to pull it back inside the gate but one of them finched me and another tried to get my bike too so i backed away and they ripped the bike away from nick and were off on it before i had a chance to stash my bike and chase them down. The youth workers were great and tried their best to calm us all down. They let us come inside their youthclub and play pool whilst Nick was out with the useless local Buzys looking for and estate they'd never heard of. We left once they took all our details and desciptions of the 5 Knobs that robbed Nick of his pride and joy and i gave him a backie back to his place.
If you see this bike or any other decent bike under the arse of an unlikely, in the Wandswoth area give em a smack and get it back cos nick'll be well gratefull and i'm sure if you can return it there'll be some kind of rewarad for your bravery, or stupidity if it was you who took it in the first place. Its a new baby blue pantera (but i'm sure its halfords black by now)with intergrated headset, with a profile chrome rear hub with hubguard on sun bigcity and gsport homer front etc etc. You can see what it looks like in the closeup below. Its such a shame, Nicks a good rider and he's gonna be bikeless for a while untill he can sort out another. These things seem to be happening more and more frequently when are out on street rides, and all i can say is keep our eye's open and be constantly asessing any situation you might be walking into while your out and about.
