Since Cult's incarnation and the first team trip to Arizona back in 2010 we've been there photographing their exploits and enjoying receiving their latest adverts or artwork with it's witty and satirical perspective. Robbie, Adam and the other guys at Cult have created a crew of riders who not only produce some of the best video sections out there but also have an uncanny ability to be highly photogenic, both on and off their bikes. I mean people don't get much cooler than AK, right? To celebrate Cult's recent fifth birthday bash and book release we thought we'd collect some of our favourite photos from our DIG staff and family photographers shot over the past half decade. These are a mixture of seen and unseen images from various different projects, ranging from Above Below to various Nike video projects, other sponsors road trips, and the filming of Cult's own classic, 'Talk Is Cheap' video. Enjoy the gallery and make sure you get a hold of Cult's excellent 'The First 5 Years' book!
