OK so maybe we are a bit slow on the old technology thing here at Dirt sometimes, but we have just set up a knew texting system where you can do all sorts of cool things like ‘Ask the Pro’, ‘Text the Editor’, ‘Send us your photos’, enter comps, ‘Reader’s Wives’ etc., all sorts of things are in the pipeline. We have now got the systems in place and we are starting off with some bangers.

There’ll be comps and all sorts going on, but we are starting out with our new ‘Ask the Pro’ feature where you can text or email questions in to famous riders. We’ll then pick the best ones and the ‘pro’ will answer them here in Dirt Magazine.

Thomas Vanderham.

There’ll be a different rider every month and we are starting off with none other than racer and freerider Thomas Vanderham.
