Found deep in a pocket of the internet occupied by the awesomeness of Tom Briggs and Skitch Clothing comes THE RAT CULT. I saw these photos back in June of ‘08 and little did I know that later down the road I would have the opportunity of meeting and riding with some of these guys. I’m not too sure what the whole back story behind the name is but would definitely be curious to find out. Check out a few photos and even a video trailer by none other than Revival filmmaker Wayne Morhart. Was there ever a full video made?

I’ve gotta make some room for new product. Go snag a tee or two at the online store. Most sizes are still available.

Interesting to see a dual 26″ setup. Mike is a big advocate for this wheel-way. I don’t think it’s a terribly bad idea as long as your bb height isn’t too low. If you are running fat tires it’s pretty much the same geometry as 700c’s with skinny tires. In any case, people are going to tweak their bikes to get it do do what they want it to do. Just like putting a 650c for barspin clearance.

Some old footage, but it’s still fresh. The kid just flows one trick into the next. So good.
I got a chance to shoot Steven last week. He is buttery smooth on a bike. Check the flickr for more
