2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike Review

2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike On Sale Now
2016 is here, and that means a whole new crop of bmx bike releases. Why are you seeing bmx reviews on a graffiti website? Well, what other vehicle is going to allow you to get through some areas, and still get away when you need to bail? I love BMX, and have ridden for years, and have seen a lot of artists using them as their main transportation. Carry a backpack and you can easily ride through town on these things. Plus, you can get extreme. I love skateboarding too, but with the new year here, I wanted to highlight bmx bikes and review them. With that in mind the 2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike is now here, and it stands out very well. It’s under 600 dollars, and has some really slick features. Cult Bmx has done it again.

2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike Features


Alright, let’s look at the features that you see up front. What you will get when you pick up this bike is a 20.75 inch toptube, 13 inch chainstay, a 71 degree seattube angle, and a headtube angle of 75 degrees, black frame, Cult pedals, and strong chain. The wheels are also colored brown, and the seat contrasts with that color way. You can buy the all black version too, but it’s this stand out that I’m reviewing for the moment. Up front, you are getting a good hybrid bmx for those that are looking at a ride that can take you to work and back, or could get you through dirt, clay, and other arenas. Looking deeper, consider the topload stem, 9 inch chromoly bars, Cult vans grips, alloy lever, u-brake, 3-pc cranks, and several elements that are going to prove to you that this is coming from Cult bmx.

The Weight and Color of The 2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike


Again, the listed option here is 40 pounds, but honestly, it’s not that heavy. I rode around with my friend’s bike the other day, and it didn’t feel that heavy. I put some weight on it, bunny hopped, and just found that this is a bike for both extremes and simple rides. I don’t know, I’m getting older so I’m not doing the same things I did when I was a teen, but this is a strong bike none the less. It’s definitely a weighty bike, no doubt, but it’s not as heavy as my old Redline Double X that I rode in Santa Clarita, California. It still feels strong though, if I do say so myself.

2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike Available Now


If you haven’t purchased a new bike in a while, and you’re looking at bmx options, then you definitely want to check out 2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike right now. You can order it online and get it shipped to you. You can put it together as is, or you could customize it with some bells and whistles. Out of the box, you are not going to get a lot of bells and whistles here, which is why some may not want to get it. However, it’s far less than 600, and at press time, it’s lower than 500 dollars if you order it now. If you’re looking for a good bmx, here’s your chance to pick up the 2016 Cult Control Complete Pro BMX Bike. Click here to order it online, and get to riding.

Cult Sig Series 2016 HAWK Trans Purple Complete Pro BMX Bike Review

Cult Sig Series 2016 Hawk Trans Purple Complete 
As 2016 proves to be another banner year for BMX, I wanted to start to review bikes. I reviewed a ton of them in the past, and well, I figured it was time to do it once again. Starting with the Cult Sig Series 2016 HAWK Trans Purple Complete Pro BMX Bike. This is a 2016 edition from Cult BMX and they have really done a lot to put the consumer’s input in place. I have tested and ridden a lot of BMX bikes in my day, but this one seems to be one of the best that I’ve tried. But is the 2016 really worthwhile? At under 600 dollars, is it really going to let you do what you want in the streets?

Cult Sig Series 2016 HAWK Trans Purple Complete Pro BMX Bike Features


First and foremost, let’s consider the features that you are going to see up front. You’re going to find that the literal elements include 9 inch chromoly bars, 3 piece cranks that have been heat treated, and 2.4 inch Odyssey Hawk tires. These are the basics, but what really stands out is the 510 Cult BMX chain, and the Cult PC pedals, which really hurt if you’re not careful. Try riding the Cult Sig Series 2016 HAWK Trans Purple Complete Pro BMX Bike without shin guards and let the pedal snap back and you’ll feel a whole new pain in the shins than ever before.

The Weight and Color of The Cult Sig Series 2016 Hawk


The color on this edition of the Cult Sig series bike is indigo, with black outlines, and the standard elements you’d expect from the Hawk Trans line up. When you purchase this bike online, you will find that the weight is 40 pounds, but the overall weight of the bike is not so heavy. If you’re used to freestyle, you’ll find that the bike is actually light weight, and you can customize it to make it much lighter if that’s what you’re after.


Cult Sig Series 2016 HAWK Trans Purple Complete Pro BMX Bike On Sale Now


If your shop doesn’t have this, don’t worry> you can pick up the Cult Sig Series 2016 HAWK Trans Purple Complete Pro BMX Bike online by clicking here. It’s on sale right now at under 600 dollars. However, what you really want to know is whether or not this bmx for 2016 is worth it?

My final answer? Yes. The Cult Sig Series has a full update, and a stronger frame, better wheels, and solid pedals. The 510 chain is strong, and this really is a freestyle bike that has a lot of promise. It’s not a “bells and whistles” type of bmx, but it has strong elements that are worth investing into. Overall, I say it is a solid bike, with a lot of promise. Check out the features and more for yourself, by clicking here. You may be surprised by what Cult BMX has to offer for 2016.

Stereo Skateboards Jazz 101 Skateboarding Series – Graffiti Kin Skate Art

I wanted to talk about skateboarding on this blog, and was wrapped up with graffiti posts more often than not. So instead of talking about graffiti today, I’m going to write a quick post about one of my favorite skateboarding companies and their decks. Stereo Skateboards has put out some of the coolest decks recently, and this is a series that is available from them, and your local skateboard shop. The company called it Jazz 101, and it features sketches of jazz music legends with the branding of their professional skateboarders.

For those of you that aren’t sure about this company, it’s the company that friends Chris Pastras and Jason Lee started. Jason Lee of course is the star of “My Name is Earl”, in case you weren’t aware. I like their boards, and I really liked this series. Of course, this isn’t “graffiti” style, but I have a love for the DIY, punk rock attitude of skateboarding, so here is a cool set to consider. Remember Graffiti Kin is a blog about street art, art, and skateboarding, but mostly about graffiti. So enjoy.

Oh, and before I forget, if you like more skateboarding topics, you can consider checking out my blog Street Skate Kings here.

Street Talk With OG Slick - Starting A Graffiti Supplies Retail Store Front Video

OG L.A. writer Slick talks about how he got into art and how he came about opening his own graffiti shop known as Big Dicks Hardware in Southern California.

In this week’s ‘Street Talk,’ JJ Anderson speaks with renown artist OG Slick about his latest venture: Big Dick’s Hardware. The Hawaiian native has been in both the art word and street wear game for over 25 years, and felt that it was finally time to answer the prayers of many graffiti artists. Slick opened up Big Dick’s Hardware, a shop that houses his personal brand DISSIZIT, a variety of other apparel lines—including our friends from The Seventh Letter—and of course, endless amount of art supplies.

Located in Gardena, CA, Big Dick’s Hardware is worth the trek. Slick’s employees, Chris and Steve, both wear bowties around their neck and are hard-core graffiti enthusiasts. Both employees have extensive knowledge about anything graffiti, whether you have questions about rare MTN colors, BDH stocks, or spray caps. Apart from the shops awesome customer service, the Hardware store also takes a nod to Slick’s childhood fascination with trains. Built to hang just under the ceiling, Big Dick’s has a railroad track that hangs and moves. Big Dick’s Hardware is as special as they come, and alongside unbeatable prices, this shop remains to be the mecca for all street artist

Culver City, California Graffiti Dispatches

So, what can you really do when you learn how to draw graffiti the right way? Well here's a gallery of photographs of stellar graffiti, and art from my home town Culver City, California. I haven't lived in Culver City since 2007, but these are some of the highlights that I found online. I'm impressed with the level of skill that some of these have taken on since I've left. When I was young, this was not the norm, but times change, and people get way better at crafting art with spray paint and beyond. Anyways, if you're going to learn how to write graffiti, then make sure you're putting up serious quality design like the ones featured below. Artist where noted, otherwise I just searched Google, so if it's your art, my apologies for not sourcing it, I don't know where to find the exact artist credentials on some of these.

Wells High School Graffiti Mural Art Club Video Highlight Reel – Learn Graffiti

In these videos, you’re going to see the work of a Chicago, IL based group of high school kids that worked on a graffiti mural club project. They made stencils, sketches, and turned empty canvas into a serious work of art. This is a few years old, but it gives you an idea as to how well you can create graffiti. Harnessing the power of art, and creating elements that showcase amazing results is not hard, if you put in a bit of work, and then apply techniques that you’ve learned. From stencils, to graffiti lettering, to spray painting and more, the kids were able to use modern art techniques as well as street art to create compelling graphic design. Check this video out, then learn how to do it yourself via the recommended links.

How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners Full Review

Right now there is a program that you can find HERE, via Clickbank that is entitled: “How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners”. I did not see a lot of reviews about it, so I started a blog called “Graffiti Kin” in hopes to promote the product. However, a formal review was not created on that blog. It’s for that reason that I have gone to great lengths to look at this and the compartments that you can get if you decide to purchase this guide.

First and foremost, the guide itself is a document that is quite extensive. When you look at what you will receive when you decide to pick up How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners, you are going to be given quite a lot of information. If you are not really into “graffiti”, by all means, do not buy the guide. However, if you are sincere about wanting to learn, then this is going to guide you through various stages of the learning process.

10 Things You Will Get When You Buy How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners

• Full List of Supplies You Will Need To Learn How To Draw Graffiti
• Full Explanations About Paint, Solvents, Markers, and More
• Full Instructions on How To Sketch Graffiti on Paper
• Full Instructions on How To Make a Graffiti Stencil
• Choosing The Right Surfaces For Drawing Graffiti
• Guide To Preparing Surfaces For Spray Paint (degreasing, underpainting etc.)
• Explanations About Different Painting Technique Stages
• Focus on Modern Trends, Style, and Types of Art You Can Draw
• Tricks From The Pros, and Troubleshooting Tips For Common Issues
• A Full List of Links To Current Galleries, Graffiti Forums, and other useful information for beginners and experts alike.

This Is Not Bonus! This is the bulk of the guide that you can purchase right now.This is the full product listing that you will receive when you purchase the How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners here.

The Bonus Content

Ok, so the 10 things you receive when you order this may not be great for some. But what I found interesting was that there’s a bonus that you will receive when you pick up How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners. What you will receive a pack of A4 formatted JPG files. These files are 50 graffiti stencils. That’s right, 50 JPEG, A4 formatted, HIGH resolution images that you can modify, print, cut, and then spray paint onto canvas, or wherever you may want to put things on. This is by far the most interesting thing that you will get with this guide. The 50 images are black and white, so that you can easily print them out and then add your own touches, whether with marker or with spray paint onto canvas or whatever medium you prefer to utilize. It’s overall a great solution for those that aren’t sure how to get started with the guide.

Is How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners A Good Product?

Here is where the rubber meets the road. When you read reviews, you most likely are going to get a sales pitch up front. But that’s not what you’re going to get from me here. I have gone ahead and reviewed the contents that you will receive with this guide. I’ve printed out some of the graphics, and have worked with graffiti artists that know their stuff. I have even featured some of the work on my blog. What I found best about this product is that it really does everything to tell you what to do. It gives you information that other sites and books don’t give you.

I can’t give you access to the member’s area, but I can show you this graphic of the interior that is layered. You will see that you get full images, full galleries, “how to” information, tutorials, examples, images, and much more. You will not just get text, you will receive a full guide, with explanations, definitions, and warnings about everything that you will need. That includes graffiti materials, caps, spray paint, brushes, markers, coloring pencils and so much more. I was skeptical at first, but once I started to explore deeper, I realized that the product is actually very well put together. It’s by far better than anything that I have seen in bookstores today.



I was blown away by the level of detail that you get when you pick up How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners. The honesty, clarity, and focus on all the ins and outs of drawing, and focusing on graffiti is very clever throughout. It’s conversational, but what I love is the image heavy nature of the tutorials. When I was learning how to draw back in art school, I found myself lost sometimes because graffiti artists don’t always show you their gear, or what they use to make their art. They just tell you. This is not that kind of book or product. The images are detailed, with graphs, graphics, and more. You are not going to get lost here, everything is put together so that you literally learn how to draw graffiti the right way. You cannot say that about other products that are on display right now. Look at the image below and you’ll see what I mean about what is inside How To Draw Graffiti: Guide For Beginners.

An Honest Opinion of How To Draw Graffiti

Ok, so you want an honest opinion on this product, right? Well, I can truly say that it’s one of the better options that I’ve seen on all of Clickbank right now. I’ve reviewed a lot of things from them, but this is one of the best options that you’re going to find in regards to learning art. They also have some features on drawing, sketching, and more, but nothing caught my eye quite like this one. When you go ahead and pick up this option you will get a full guide as to how to learn graffiti, how to draw with spray paint, and the materials necessary to get good.

As a bonus, you will also receive 50 FREE stencils to learn how to draw graffiti on canvas, on your walls, doors, or anywhere else. I am not going to hard sell you on this. You will receive everything I’ve discussed, and showed you. It’s a solid product, and definitely better than anything I’ve seen in print. If you want to learn how to draw this type of art, then go ahead and pick up How To Draw Graffiti: A Guide For Beginners Here. It’s a very good program, and something that I can’t believe more artists haven’t picked up and reviewed.
