Los Angeles, CA, March 11, 2011:
YoHolla has officially joined with Rick Thorne, internationally acclaimed athlete, actor and musician, as a member and exclusive celebrity content provider of information, updates, video footage and “The Next Ridah” contest in the YoHolla Social Network. Mr. Thorne, also known as the “Biker in Black”, is one of the world’s most dedicated Professional BMX riders and now joins the ranks of many celebrities serious about promoting privacy and the well-being of youth when it comes to social networking.
In addition to his professional BMX Extreme Sports career, Mr. Thorne is also an entertainer, acting in major motion pictures, hosting television shows for a number of networks, and doing voice overs for Sirius XM Faction. He also spends his time as the lead singer of the band “Good Guys In Black”, which has just been added to the Vans Warped Tour this summer.
The Rick Thorne Next Ridah Contest is an opportunity for unknown and up-and-coming BMX riders and skate boarders to showcase their skills in a 30-45 second video clip. These clips will be reviewed and voted on by Rich Thorne and his panel of judges.
“I am stoked to be in YoHolla and when I heard about it, I was like FINALLY! I never would do Facebook because of all the privacy and security issues. I really believe in what YoHolla is doing by creating an advertising free, private and secure social network. Especially when it comes to the privacy and security of kids!!! When YoHolla approached me to do the Rick Thorne show and contest in their network, I was really excited, because I have so much behind the scenes content that I want to share. It’s going to be a crazy summer on the Vans Warped Tour for me and my band and now people can see what it is like to live my life on a day to day basis!” said Rick Thorne.
“Rick is on board with YoHolla because he sees and understands the problems with today’s most popular social networking sites. They share and exploit your personal information with whomever they please. He recognizes YoHolla is 100% private and secure, so your information will never be shared with anyone unless you make the choice to do so.” Said Jeffrey Wilhems of YoHolla. “The best part about YoHolla is that you can simply enjoy chatting with your family and friends, without the risk of sharing personal information with people you do not know.. or being bombarded with tons of advertising based upon the information mined from your personal comments by the other networks.” To sign up with Rick Thorne on YoHolla, and gain access to his exclusive “behind the scenes” content, and The Next Ridah contest rules, visit this link. www.yoholla.com/rickthorne
