Robbie Morales Interview.


Robbie has the final interview in ESPN’s “new company” series. Lots of notable tidbits in here (including confirmation that Bas Keep really is on the team) but I found this the most interesting:

How has the reception to Cult been so far?

Really good. Two logo bites and one complete Web site bite after five months. We must be doing something right.”

I know about this logo bite, but what’s the other one and who jacked their website?

UPDATE:
The comments have spoken, this is almost certainly the logo bite in question and someone suggested that this could be the website they were referring to.

    Thats what they get for using cookie cutter fonts and cookie cutter websites….. The fit bike is classic!

    Cult seems to be poppin off way more that Fit when it started way back in the day. Cult is going to be huge. hopefully they dont flood the market with 30 complete bikes at Interbike.

    The logo rip is blatant and pretty childish, but as far as the website rip goes, animated .gif’s and shitty tabled designs aren’t anything new… It can still be considered a rip, but the EYE site’s blog goes back to March, whereas Cult’s only goes back to May. Just sayin.

    when your site developer uses freeware/cookie cutter layouts its not hard to think someone ripped “your ” layout, but when you dont hand code your own shit and another group uses it whos at FULT?

    scotty cranmer?

  • http://Website das

    pretty much everything is wrong with CULT, apart from the frames, which are basically fbm frames.how do you achieve anything when you’re primarily a frame company, that sells other people’s products? the worst brand image, acting all serious, like you’re doing something new because you have a very aggressive marketing strategy.the absolute worst designs, you practically have to be blind to like those shirts..it’s just stupid people still get sucked into it, as if it was anything special

    Shawn Garrett?

  • http://Website Chris

    So what about Stranger, United? are they just the same as S&M? Since S&M are manufacturing them? Along with any other brands I may have forgot that S&M help out.

    Do you really think that’s true? You = dumb. There are plenty of dudes out there who own houses and raise families off of bike riding.

  • http://Website lol

    you = dumb, i loled, great comeback

  • http://Website the skreet

    S&M manufacturing United? I believe they are just the U.S. distro for United.

  • http://Website Tom

    Is anyone else sick of hearing the word “hommie”? Seems like every new company is using that term now and its just fucking stupid. “Sesh with the hommies” “New frame for the hommies” “Eating sloppy joes with my hommies” Arghhh get fucking original.

    so people taking the piss out of your shit logo is the benchmark by which the success of a company is measured? sold any frames yet?

  • http://Website haha

    what a fucking suck up ahaha

  • http://Website haha

    s&m dont make united you dumbass, they just distribute it in the us

  • http://Website misled clothing

    yeah theres like 10 people out of bmx who do haha out of how many hundreds of thousands? Idiots., you fuckers def wont ever, i know i wont ever, doing shows and scraping by, not a comfortable life style, what will these dudes do when there 50, i bet its not ride bmx to pay for shit. My point is bmx is ment for fun , spend time with your friends , be creative etc. Todays bmx world is now about how your shoes match your spokes and if your seat is low enough to make you kool when you do bar spins.

  • http://Website RICHARD

    I am aware that you are trying to make a point, (valid or not) but I just cant get past the fact that you write like a 4th grader. It immediately cancels out any advice you may offer, because I cant take you seriously. Not to mention that you are a clothing company that repeatedly (and poorly) insults, belittles and talks down to its target demographic.”Todays bmx world is now about how your shoes match your spokes and if your seat is low enough to make you kool when you do bar spins.”- If that is how you feel and how you view “today’s BMX world” than by all means…..let me take this time to wholeheartedly tell you and your shitty t-shirt company to hit the road. I personally am ok without one less jaded old know it all trying to teach me the facts of life as he see’s it. (while trying to take my money)

  • http://Website lil brat

    that lil brat with the sticker better show respect for who started the company hes oh so lucky to even get a t shirt from. spoiled fucking kids aint none of you have any respect. lil wanna be dakota roche get the fuck out of here with that sticker you aint nobody but an asshole licker

  • http://Website blah blah

    it means that cult is the most talked about company right now, taking a piss on their logo means cult is in their heads and they know cult is only climbing. you are fucking stupid my friend. cult products sell.. frames are sold out in the first couple of days they arrive, that is how you measure your company smart guy.

  • http://Website gay for cult

    cult has done alot in a short amount of time… got to admit i respect the hell out of that and cant wait to see what they keep doing

  • http://Website blah blah blah

    ^ you work for cult, right? then maybe robbie should have said “yeah, were selling shit loads of product,” since you seem to agree that that’s how you measure the success of your company. because really, going “oh yeah, some cunt ripped off our logo. we big!” i mean, really?

  • http://Website misled clothing

    hahahah richard come get fucked up queer, im at the dirty east every year in november, you just ask for me and i will be waiting to great you, chances are you live at home with mommy and dayy still so make sure they let you get some the extra hard earned money you didnt make.

  • http://Website trashman

    Misled Clothing thank you. Thank you for doing so much for the bmx world. If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t know bmx was ‘ment’ to be fun. Your clothing designs are revolutionary and unbelievably creative! I can see you’ve put ‘alot’ of hard work into your website, it’s very professional! You’re also very good at understanding what the reply button is. You’re just a magnificent human being, thank you for being alive. I’m gonna go raise my seat up for you man.

    WHO FUCKING CARES. Get off cult and fit’s nuts. Cults products look like garbage from 6 years ago. Bmx is about riding your bike and having fun. The comeup is worse than reality tv haha. All you kids go outside and ride your fucking bike. Trust me, its way more fun than sitting in front of your computer yelling at eachother over stupid shit that doesn’t even concern you.

  • http://Website brownieman

    actually if you ask any bikeshop these damn kids are asking for cult products all day. “when can i get the new cult stuff” blah blah blah. they might have the same success fit did and take over. not sayin i like it but it seems that it might happen.

  • http://Website just saying

    sorry to say but cult owns all of you for the fact that they help support FBM and SOLID bikes. I support them over those shitty taiwan brands out there anyday! cult is doing everything good in my book and have quality frames and parts. where is stranger at? where are their frames at? exactly.. haters gon hate.

  • http://Website really

    people actually think noone likes cult? where im from cult is all that is talked about right now. kids cant wait to get their hands on it while most of them already have. haters 0 – cult 100

  • http://Website Just sayin…

    maybe we could all “own” if we bought (supported) FBM and Solid instead?? Oh wait-we gotta have the trendy brand. OK.

  • http://www.thegreatestconversation.com Brian Park

    I realize I’m not their demographic, but I actually have almost no idea what Cult makes/wants to make etc… All I see is a bunch of semi-decent web edits and a horrific logo that’s not quite bad enough to be ironic.

    I realize 10 minutes on the internets google machine would tell me all about their plans and shit, but I’m talking marketing here. Robbie is bragging about their marketing and I’m not sure he has any idea what’s going on.

  • http://Website eat it

    fuck yeah cult!

  • http://Website Name (required)

    i think your over thinking it man, its a fucking bike company, and i think their sales speak for themselves, sounds like your taking your degree a little too far
