Keeping the party going! Josh Alderete’s section from the Cult “Small Talk” DVD is now online! Josh has been killing it for a long time, but I think this section will really open up some eyes to just how good he is! Check out some amazing pegless freecoaster lines that he cooked up for this one!

“We’re psyched to be rolling out the sections from Cult’s most recent DVD, Small Talk, that ever-so-greatly moved the spotlight from their pro squad to the ams. Something relatively fresh in BMX, focusing time and money and letting their up and comers is something that rarely happens, but building the team from the ground up is what Cult is all about, so we’re hyped to rename the best day of the week for the next month: Cult’s Small Talk Saturdays.” – Ride BMX

“The classification between amateur and professional in BMX has been discussed and debated, but never clearly defined. While the lines are still a little blurry, if we can agree that a professional includes a paycheck and a certain level of experience and skill, then we’re halfway there. So what is an am? Does BMX even need ams? Cult thinks so, and they helped set the precedent for an established am class in BMX with the release of Small Talk, their am-based video that gave Steven Mack, Josh Alderete, Iz Pulido, and Andrew Castaneda the center stage usually reserved for the pro riders.”

Hailing from Palm Desert, California, Josh is another one of the quiet shredders who is all about consistency and riding as smooth as possible. He’ll be the first to call himself out and just pedal back to the start and film the line again until he’s happy with it. Even if everyone else would have taken the first try, it’s all about Josh’s own standards.” – Cult
