Scotty Cranmer coming through with a promo video that features Big Boy, Cory Berglar, Matty Cranmer and Vinny Mannino testing out a few pairs of Anker Soundbuds Curve wireless headphones that the company gave them to review. Check out the video for some riding, get some insight from the guys on what they thought of the headphones… If you’re digging the headphones, you can find a link to buy them below…

“We got to test out the Anker Soundbuds Curve wireless headphones and see how good they are for riding freestyle BMX! The headphones were great they fit perfect and they were very comfortable and also easy to use! The crew each had a pair and they rode around the skate park and did a bunch of tricks and I had an idea for big boy using the headphones to keep him focused on trying a new trick for the first time. The headphones work perfect but big boy messed up the track and had an Insane spinal crash trying to grind the rail!” – Scotty Cranmer
