Joel Nicholls, a Semi-pro BMX rider from Trowbridge, Wiltshire, UK. Really chilled out guy and I was lucky enough to get an interview with him. He Studied at Trowbridge College and went onto University. He went from the bottom of the UK BMX scene right up to the top. He rides and also films for his sponsor Project 5. This is a short interview into the rider’s life showing what a rider like him does on a day to day basis……Enjoy.
