When CJ asked if I’d be keen to write Arnott’s intro for his Sidewalk feature, I thought,
“Yeah I would but there are two people that know him better than anyone, and they would be Keeeeenan and Kel”.
I was thinking about his best mates since childhood, Chris Gallop and Joe Smith. So I asked if they wanted to do it and of course, they were very keen to rinse their best mate. But before they do, I will say this; although he doesn’t realise it (but he really should), he absolutely kills it on his skateboard and it’s always a pleasure to see an Arnott clip pop up, which is a rarity because he’s not about that ‘gram life. He’d way prefer to put something out that he has put some thought into and worked hard and spent time on, rather than just whacking clips on Instagram for that instant gratification. It’s refreshing to see. I look forward to seeing your next part Arn! So without further ado, here is Breadstick’s introduction, brought to you by Randy and Bollock. – Enjoy
One of my favourite memories of Josh was the time we were in the Warehouse club in Bristol. That night, Josh came to meet Joe (Smith) and I and our mates for some drinks. Josh didn’t really know our mates at the time so just sat there in silence and didn’t really introduce himself, (like always). After a little while, Josh got up and went to the toilet. All of a sudden our friend Nick leans in and says “Fucking hell lads, that’s the tallest Chinese kid I’ve ever seen!” On a serious note though – when he’s not dying his hair orange or watching Fake Taxi clips, (on repeat), Josh is one of the most genuine and nicest people on and off his board.
Not a natural, but doesn’t give in until it’s landed or the board is finished. Over the last couple of years Josh has gone from strength to strength, proving why he is one of the best. Keep up the good work mate.

Josh has come a long way since his starring role in The Sixth Sense.
I look up to him, (literally), for how he’s handled things on and off a skateboard over the last few years. The most modest guy ever and would never big himself up. This Hammers fan is allergic to mould, always late, and for some reason cannot burp. The kid lived in Spain for six months and didn’t get a suntan. He needs to improve his drinking skills but he is very good at spelling. Everyone is good at something mate. He knows life’s too short to not do exactly what you want to. Keep doing it Arnott.
