TXT US: Bob Manchester
We are starting a new video series called “txt us”. It’s pretty straight forward; you guys text in asking anything you want to know. We will give the phone to Joe Blogs and we’ll get them to read it out and answers them. We got a bunch of people to text Bob some questions, then we headed to The Shed skatepark in Kings Lynn for him to answer them. Check it out below.
Before you go grab your phone and start texting, lets see what’s in store next.
In a few weeks we will be heading to Estonia for the 2010 Simpel Session. Where we will be getting riders to read out and answer the texts you’ve texted in. Here’s a few of the people going to the event – what to ask them a question?
Harry Main, Ben Hennon, Aaron Ross, Scott Hamlin, Sergio Layos, Dan Lacey, Niki Croft, Sean Sexton, Mike Miller, Jason Phelan, Nathan Williams and loads more. It you want the full rider list head over to here.
You don’t just have to ask someone a question, just text in and we will try and get it read out!

Yes it looks like a rip off of the Berrics to anyone who hasn’t watched a TV or listened to a Radio before. TV and Radio have been doing things like phone in’s and text in’s for ever.
The Berrics just took an already great idea and adapted for their own needs.
I think BMX could use something like this for sure but they have to be open to asking the questions to all well known riders in the UK not just the best friends of the people local to the Ride offices. Lets hope we see that mobile and the camera travel around the UK a bit.
Oh and how about a better slogan/title than “txt us”?
