“In part 1 of his responses, Ryan Nyquist answers your questions about age, progression, crashes, being a father, his first kiss, Dean Cueson, bike weight over the years, and shows a pic he recently took of James Foster at the Pro Town premiere.“- Props

So here’s the deal, Twitter has basically taken over the BMX world. Every single day thousands and thousands of Tweets take place by pretty much every company in BMX, the majority of pro riders and every kid under the sun as well. But for a Twitter newb, it can be confusing. This is out attempt to organize every notable person who uses Twitter. I’m going to start off with a basic listing and then bump this post up to the top of the site every time we do an update. If you feel like we are missing something, feel free to comment on this post with links to deserving riders, companies or whatever and we’ll update. Got it? Go!

*Note: Everything here is organized alphabetically and in the case of rider’s it’s alphabetical by first name.

Aaron Ross continues to answer your questions from Twitter.

No, not really. But there’s a hilarious article over on ESPN which tells the whole story of how Tom’s sarcastic remarks on Twitter about blowing up the White House, Pentagon, his own house, and his flight, landed him and his parents a couple visits from the FBI & Secret Service. Lol @ this really happening, and them telling him he could lose his sponsors over it.

Albes has to have 5,000 Twitter followers by July 31st, 2010 to have a 50% off sale, and they are only at 1,942! Tell your friends, parents, neighbors and anyone easily influenced to add Albes on Twitter now.

Next up, Daniel Dhers claims Mirra is doing much better. Details are still scarce on The Miracle Boy’s status but it sounds like it turned out a lot better than it could have.

Ride says that they have another video in the works. I haven’t heard much noise about Range Of Motion (buy it here) on the forums online (despite the fact that it is actually pretty darn good) so I was surprised to read this, but the more BMX DVD’s, the better.

And finally today while out filming, Alex Platt smacked his head hard enough on a rail hop gone wrong that we had to bring him to the hospital. The nurse was being a bitch and Alex was being rude right back to her and the cops ended up coming in and kicking Mastroni, Scott Marceau and I out, then Alex voluntarily left and went to another hospital where they were much nicer to him. He’s still there being monitored but his condition is stable.

UPDATE: I guess he actually fractured his skull in 3 places, so it’s worse than I thought, but he’s still expected home pretty soon and shouldn’t be off his bike for too long.

If you’re just getting started on Twitter, my list of BMX personalities to follow from a while back is a good place to start, although there are a lot that have signed up since I made that list that you should be following too. Hitting my Twitter, following me and then looking at all the people I follow would be a good idea.

I personally am on a quest to have the most followers in the BMX category on wefollow.com, starting now. I may not be able to afford 10,000 bed nets, but I will personally donate 100 dollars towards the charity of the follower who puts me over the top’s choice. Will this work? Probably not since I’ve plugged my Twitter on here numerous times and still have half the followers of Ride, but it’s worth a shot.
