You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I don't know any way to say this other than straight out. Nick has taken his own life.
You will be missed by a lot more folk that you thought Nick.
Rest in Peace.
That's very sad indeed.
Condolences to friends and family.
Indeed its sad
Not the Nick Wallis I know tho I don't think is it? as he was posting on facebook half an hour ago
Very sad. RIP.
teetosugars??
or another one? I bought some stuff of him a while back seemed a top bloke,
Not teetosugars?! He was just tweeting?!
Sorry for the confusion - I'm talking about Nick3216.
Confusion aside, it's still a sad moment. NIck3216 was a decent bloke from what I knew of him. RIP. Condolences to friends and family
RIP,
Sad news
Rip
i didn't know the guy i'm afraid,but my condolences to his family and friends 🙁
Sad news.
This is so sad. I read his blog, which seems very poignant now.
RIP
Is it wrong to ask for a link to his blog?
Not me, no...
And as everyone said, a tragic waste..
Stand down Nick.
I never met the guy, but followed his blog. Awful news, my condolences to his family and friends.
RIP
🙁 Very sad news, every time I met him he was a great bloke, RIP Nick.
Very sad.
Condolences to his freinds and family.
Any links to his life, as some of us dont know who he is sadly.
Sincerest condolances to his family and freinds at what must be a terrible emotional time.
His blog may go some way toward explaining his recent frame of mind:
Condolences to those around him.
I didn't know Nick but I am very sorry to hear this news. Very sad indeed. RIP
Very sad. I've read his blog, was he a member on here too. I seem to remember that it was on here that I first saw it.
Rip. very, very sad.
Awful news 🙁
Had some good times with him. Will be missed by loads of people.
Very very sad news. I didn't know him, but I've just read his blog &, well it choked me up, reading it.
Condolences to all who knew & loved him.
Very sad indeed. 😥
I didn't know him but discovered Nick's blog a few weeks ago after news of his really rather amazing unsupported singlespeed lejog. My condolences to his family and friends.
Very sad. My condolences.
Sad news - Ride in Peace Nick
very sad - I only read his LEJOG posts last week.. 🙁
RIP
Shocked - Very sad.
Don't know what to say
🙁

Just read his blog and found the news very sad , seems like the guy was a genuine and funny lad going buy his LEJOG blog.
R.I.P Nick . 🙁
I only knew Nick through here, his blog and Twitter but he seemed like a great guy.
RIP
RIP. Had a few email conversations with nick a few years ago when I was getting into ss. Will be sadly missed 😥
Just read his final blog post. Heartbreaking. Thoughts are with family and friends. RIP.
RIP
May he know peace.
I recognise him from that pic, think he was a mate of mate.......
Surely the nerve problem wouldn't have kept him off his bikes for life? One of his last tweets was about putting his bikes in to storage 🙁
RIP
Walking home from work had me thinking of a good weekend at SITS with you sat in the sun talking shite and drinking good beer. Tonight I will have a beer in your memory.
There's no words that can express how sad I feel right now, Nicks had a tough time of late, lots of issues that he appeared to be able to deal with, never thought that this would be the outcome, I spoke to him just last week and he sounded upbeat and ready to tackle his challenges.

Nick in happier times. How I'd like to remember him.
me too
Met Nick twice years ago, both over a beer and a really good chat.
Can't imagine what place he must have been in but having lost 3 friends who took their own lives I have a slightly horrible insight 🙁
Rip
He he traded his car to Chipps in exchange for those forks.
OMG. I was a very close friend at university and we met again through mountain biking. RIP Nick.
I really don't know what to write.
RIP
(wipes tears from eyes)
Hoped he could have pulled through his recent problems. Thoughts are with Kirsty.
Blimey. That's terrible news.
RIP
What a shame....be nice to think he's riding some trail on the other side now
:o(
****ing hell.
Just in case anyone might need it

There is help.
Never met the guy but bantered via twitter and flickr and was really impressed by his LEJOG and am now really shell shocked over this news and if i am i can't begin to understand how his family feels
Ride that one gear on and on Nick

Tragic,, RIP
Both Rest and Ride in Peace Nick 🙁
Very sad. He was [i]always[/i] smiling whenever we met 🙁
Thats terrible 🙁
sincere thoughts out to friends and family.
so sad 🙁 r.i.p dude
Sad news. Rest in peace.
Do hope he can now find some peace. So sad. 🙁
Was only reading his LEJOG posts the other day. A damn fine read they are too.
Just taken another look and spotted his mum commenting on this last post. So sad.
RIP.
I didn't know the guy (though I definitely recognise him from some of the Mayhem photos posted), but this is so sad!
I've just read through his whole blog about doing the JOGLE solo, unsupported on his singlespeed, and he sounded quite a jolly fellow, not the type to let a minor problem get him down.
I'm guessing he never realised quite how many people would miss him! 🙁
Sad news.
Another one lost to the black dog. Very sad. RIP.
poor man. awful to read something like this. thank you for posting a link to his blog. like many I didn't know the chap but I know what it's like to feel so low.
rest in peace sir
As above, sad news. Recognise him from a few endurance events although never had a chance to say hi. Sounds like I missed out. Read parts of the LEJOG blog and will now go back and read it start to finish. Least I can do. Really puts things in perspective, my dull job aint so bad today.
RIP Nick, enjoy those always dry and dusty trails on the otherside.
Nick proud of all his Mayhem boards. Constant smile on his face, whenever we met....

Sorry to hear this - I didn't know him, but condolences to his friends and family. RIP Nick.
RIP. Don't remember ever meeting you Nick but you probably rode past me at some point at Mayhem. Very sad, hope you're at peace now.
Thank you for the link to Nicks blog. Very sad news...
I was given a bike by Nick many years ago 2001 I think. Haven't been in touch with him for a long time sorry to here this news and of course my condolences go to those he left.
RIP Nick
i'm going to ride tonight in your honour
So, So Sad.
My heart goes out to all his friends and family .
Never met Nick although would have been at some of the MM's he was at.
I will take a minute out of my next ride and have a little sit and a think.
Tragic news, RIP Nick, thoughts with the family...
