Coming back for the 3rd season in a row the adventure continues with 12 riders spread across two teams traveling to the very south of Spain - the Canary Islands.

Two filmers and photographers will join the trip to capture all the adventures both, on and off the bikes and the last day will see both teams getting together for a final party to exchange their stories.

Vans X Cult Demo Wrap Up

Not even a mid-cal snowstorm can stop this crew.
Despite a crazy snowstorm below 500ft elevation, the crew had an awesome jam at Ramp Rats in Santa Rosa and drove non-stop through the night to make it to the Vault Skatepark opening back down in La Habra. The locals were shredding along side of the Cult pros and vibing off each other with some really amazing riding. Both these skateparks are wooden and indoor, and both utilized every square inch of the square footage to build some rad ramp set-ups.
The trip is a wrap and some of the crew is still kicking it in Orange County for part of the week working on Cult projects so you might catch of glimpse of the guys riding around if you are out and about. The footage from this trip was pretty insane, and there were lots of double angles on the bangers. The Cult X Vans shoe hits the stores in June, so in the meantime look for some photos to pop up in Ride Magazine and a bangin' edit to drop in May.
