“FBM’s Steve Crandall leads his merry band of motorcycle miscreants on the 2nd annual Lords Of Fun trip, hitting riding spots along the East Coast and soaking up the summer sights.
With guys meeting up in Richmond, VA via motorbikes from Louisville, KY and Pittsburgh, PA, the crew strapped on their BMX bikes and headed east down Route 5 towards Norfolk, VA and into Currituck, NC. Then they crossed the bay to the Outer Banks of North Carolina towns like Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Duck, and more.

Sneak Peek: Tree Prototype Front Hub
“We have another prototype version of our hubs being tested. Earlier this year we tested 14mm 7075-T6 aluminum bolts and center axle in our rear hub. We had good results so now we are giving it a go in the front hub. We have started testing, the hub is very light at 6.3 ounces which is 2.2 ounces lighter than our current front hub with 3/8″ bolts. We are sure it will not only be lighter but also stronger than any front hub using 3/8″ steel axles or bolts.” – Tree

Dew Tour Portland – Park Results
“Portland, Ore. – August 13, 2011 – Scotty Cranmer and Kyle Baldock battled it out to the last minutes of the BMX Park Final at the Portland Invitational. Cranmer broke through to finish first with a run that included a tailwhip to no-footed can-can, a no-handed front flip and a flip double whip over the hitching post – the banger that ended his run. Cranmer’s final score of 92.00 allowed him to pull ahead of Baldock’s 91.38. Daniel Dhers rounded out the podium in third place. This was Cranmer’s first win since Salt Lake City in 2007, and his fifth Dew Tour win overall.
“I watched the replay and it still doesn’t make sense that I actually landed it,” said Cranmer of his flip double whip. “My foot felt like it was miles away and somehow made it to the pedal. It was in God’s hands – I thank him for it. But also, none of my friends got hurt today and I thank God for that more than anything.”
Tonight’s BMX Park Final marked the second stop of the event on this season’s Dew Tour. The current rankings stand until the riders compete for the Dew Cup at the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas, Nev., October 13-14. Following their strong finishes in Ocean City, Cranmer, Baldock and Dhers have placed themselves as top contenders for the 2011 BMX park Dew Cup. “If I did somehow get the Dew Cup, it would be fantastic,” said Cranmer. “It would be something amazing to check off the list. I’ve got 2nd place before, so I’d love to get 1st, but either way, I’m psyched. Let’s just live in this day.”
You can catch all of the final runs here.”
