I don't understand why avalanche is the only DH company worthy of a RM rider cult, In my opinion, there should be other cults like the Canfield cult, White Brothers cult, and Industry9 cult, as well as many others. if anyone is interested in forming a cult let me know

5.10. cult!!!!

 

[wingman24]

[S.K.C.]

I heard the Avy Cult has this really cool place down in Waco.

I think it's got a 4X track...

 

[wingman24]

well the canfields have a nice place in UTAH if you know what i mean..........and I've already promised Lance my first born for a F1.

 

[wingman24]

and by Utah yes i mean mormons and poligomy, and of coarse, virgin and moab.

 

[oly]

Theres only one CULT to be in, but not many people are willing to make the sacrifices to get in.. just listening to Slayer isnt enough.....

 

[JacobDW]

What about Transition Bikes??? Can we have a TBC Cult???

 

[PatBranch]

How about a hardtail dh cult?

i can already tell you should start fewer threads. please please don't fill this forum with crap.

You can't just start a cult, it needs to be formed. The Avy cult: Avalanche was considered the best out there for many seasons, then Romic popped up, 5th, manitou and fox was reborn. Romic was then the "Best ever" as was 5th. They then lost popularity due to reliability and performance issues. However t that point many were jumping ship due to the "Bandwagon syndrome". Avalanche still had some strong followers and it has remained that way for the last few years, thus the Cult was formed.

 

[zmtber]

can there be a sunday cult or a turner DHR cult?

 

[Bicyclist]

Cult does not mean fad or bandwagon. Cult means long-term underground (well, not in the case of the Avy cult ) following.

 

[Thrillkil]

can there be a sunday cult or a turner DHR cult?

no, because everyone has one of those. It can be argued that there is a Karpiel Cult, though.

Lol...

Nah, I just got a new pair of black Nike's and I'll probably be snagging a ride with the Mothership to L.A. next weekend.

Oddly enough, Bootsie Collins is driving.

The Avy Cult is annoying but I have to say that normally people who use Avalanche gear (specifically the rear shock) end up staying with it even when they change frames.

According to www.dictionary.com, here's one of the definitions of "Cult":

-Obsessive, especially faddish, devotion to or veneration for a person, principle, or thing. (in this case, it's a friggin shock)

With regards to forming little cults for various manufacturers, there's no point since people change frames/forks/brakes/rims/hubs/pedals like they change their socks!

So, having several little cults would be juvenile, useless and defeat the purpose of the workd 'cult' since everyone would be moving around from cult to cult...it would become a big swinger party!

 

[wingman24]

I started this tread as a little jab at the avy cult because it's kinda funny that it even exists. but the fact that it got so much response, some of it even seriouse is even more funny. I do like avys, I would use one if I only rode my downhill bike downhill

 

[stiksandstones]

There is and will only be one CULT

 

[dhbuilder]

where's jim jones when you really need him ?

 

[IronhorseCT]

where's jim jones when you really need him ?

Now we are talking Kool Aid, not the branch dividians...Anyone for Hale Bop?

 

[DH biker]

The Big Hit clut is pretty big too.
There is also a "Shinburger" Cult for the people who ride those.
Not to mention the "Shiver" Cult.

 

[Brian HCM#1]

They Cult kicks serious ass!!!!

 

[Brian HCM#1]

wow, what a tread killer.

I just didn't want to get your hopes up.






Hopes...........Buy Hope!!!!!

 

[MMcG]

There is and will only be one CULT

Nice!

This is my favorite Cult Album - yes - I had it on LP in college.

 

[skinny mike]

how about the 'i wish i had a cult' cult?

 

[stiksandstones]

There is nothing more godlike than THE CULT...and this is one hell of a reason for a thread derailment. Here is some of my memoribilia I have, the rest is all in the CULT shrine I have upstairs. (Es Muy Loco)

 

[bomberboy11]

I see this one in a couple years - The Single-Pivot Cult.

 

[PatBranch]

^ I may join it...I'm looking at a used bullit.

 

[degoose]

how about a xtr cult or a x.0 cult?

 

[PatBranch]

..but so many have those. The point is to have a cult of a small company, uncommonly used product or unusual design. This makes much more sense.

 

[dhkid]

how about a xtr cult or a x.0 cult?

why stop there, how about a xt and x9 cult?

 

[dhkid]

hmm..i might be leaving that cult before it even starts..

 

[PatBranch]

Too bad...what bike are you thinking? You will be off a bullit, I may be on a bullit.

 

[binary visions]

I'm in a cult where we devour the brains of our murdered enemies.

It's not really a "company cult", per se, but I like it.

 

[dhkid]

Too bad...what bike are you thinking? You will be off a bullit, I may be on a bullit.

actually a bullit cult doesn't sound soo bad... it fits all the criteria(sp?) its was pretty good once apon a time, its hopefully going to be great when it comes back end of this year. i am leaving mainly coz my bullit it too small for me now, and i dont want to drop a grand just for the same bike in m size. so its prolly going to be a old dhr (hint hint ian ) for the time being. but the ultimate would be a sunday... :love:

 

[dhbuilder]

Now we are talking Kool Aid, not the branch dividians...Anyone for Hale Bop?

branch dividians. if they weren't a cult, then the word needs redifining.
