The latest BMX Videos, Products and News!
We have seen a few sneak peeks of the new tire color options that Cult have been cooking up and the good news is that they will be available starting October! Above is a photo of their full range of tires. The DeHart Tire comes in 2.20″ and 2.35″ and the DeHart Slick comes in 2.40″. Both of those tires will be available in the new Dark Gum and White to go along with the existing black and gum colors and the Vans tire is available in 2.35″ and black only.
Here’s a little split section action from the Cult “Small Talk” DVD for you to check out! Floyd and Codey Levesque teamed up to put together a rad section that has chill vibe and some great riding and even some skate clips from Codey mixed in! Check it!
“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.
“Grant is a flow rider from Long Island who had spent the summer in California. We filmed a bunch of clips for the mix part, but then realized that with a few more clips he’d have his first full-length video part. Grant definitely worked hard for it, and I think it was a good experience for him to be a part of the project. He has surely grown a bit since he’s been riding for Cult.” — Richard “Veesh” Krumm
We got a look at Cult‘s new 2015 complete bike line at Interbike the other week, but now you can get a better look in the flipbook that’s up on their website now! These bikes should be hitting shops and distributors worldwide in just a few weeks!
Ride BMX dropped this new video featuring two of Utah’s young guns that made the move out to California, Forrest Holland and David Pendleton! Since their move they started getting hooked up by Cult and it seems like the pieces to the puzzle keep falling into place! Check the video to see what these two cooked up for clips then a quick interview right here!
“Cult flow dudes David Pendleton and Forrest Holland hail from Utah, but after a random twist of events involving Caleb Quanbeck and an Instagram post, they found themselves in a Cali school-yard with Common Crew lens man Francis Castro.” –
“In the time that we filmed this, David and Forrest had been living in Southern California. These two came all the way from Utah, entirely on their own, to experience the dream that is California street riding. The fact that they ended up living no further than one stop-light away from me was a blessing! Working with them has been awesome and I’m happy to say that we all had an amazing time producing this video while pushing each other to progress in the process.”

Here’s a better look and more detail on the new Cult Nylon guards that we got a closer look at during Interbike the other week. These guards have an 6061-T6 aluminum core with a Nylon 6 polymer sleeve that slides smooth and gives it that matte black look like a glock gun. These guards slide over the cone nuts on all of Cult’s Match front, V1 and V2 cassettes and Match V1 and V2 freecoaster hubs. Clean and simple! These will be hitting shops and mail-orders worldwide in October!
Where does time go! It’s hard to believe it’s already been a week since Interbike wrapped up! That means we’re getting back on our weekly Saturday look at some dialed BMX products you might just want or need! In this weeks Products: column, were going to take a closer look at the High Rise stem from Kink, Garrett Reeves’ signature grips from Sunday Bikes, the Team sprocket from Freed Bikes, Simone Barraco’s signature Strada tire from The Shadow Conspiracy and then we will wrap things up with the new Cult X Starter limited edition snapback hats! Ready? Let’s do this!
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

Josh Alderete
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
It looks like Cult have a new collaboration cooking with Starter that we can expect some rad projects coming. They’re starting things off with 6 limited edition snapbacks that you can pick up in the Cult Webstore right now! Two are exclusive to the webstore, but others should be available through shops and mail-orders that carry Cult worldwide soon! Get on this now before they’re gone!
