Scotty Cranmer – One Year Since My Life Changing Accident

October 12, 2017

It was one year ago today that we all started getting word that Scotty Cranmer took a bad slam and that he was rushed to the hospital, without much info coming out. In the coming days we found out more and more about the surgeries and more that he had to go through. At the time, there was a really good chance that Scotty would never walk again, but over the past year he was proving to all of us that he wasn’t going to give up. Since then he’s managed to get back to standing, walking and even getting back on his bike to pedal and even jump a little! Today, Scotty decided to put together a video looking back at the year from the crash on up to where he is today… Hit play… Hell yeah, Scotty! You have been a huge inspiration, showing everyone that giving up isn’t an option!

“It has been one year since the day that change my life forever. My body has to relearn how to do every thing from riding my BMX bike at a professional level all the way to learning how to tie my shoes again. Even though I was supposed to never walk again I am now up on my feet living a normal life even driving a car. In this video I show a timeline of my past year from October 12, 2016 to October 12, 2017 and I show every milestone that I have conquered along the way. Thank you to everyone that watched my videos and lended a helping hand along the way. I couldn’t have done it without you all.” – Scotty Cranmer

Colony BMX – Alex Hiam “Bon Voyage”

October 12, 2017

When we first saw the title of this we almost though Alex Hiam was leaving Colony, but we quickly realized that wasn’t the way the title was meant to be interpreted since he’s definitely not leaving the team. Instead, we get a ton of amazing footage from his voyage to California putting down some amazing riding at skateparks and a little street. Alex is a total machine with crazy techical lip tricks to big airs and more! Hit play and take it all in!

“Alex Hiam spent some time out in California this summer and cooked up this sick video with Chris Bracamonte along the way. In between sessioning the CA culture and riding the Vans US Open in Huntington Beach, Alex hit a bunch of amazing parks in the LA area and shut them down with tech lines and big transfers like only Alex can. Alex is definitely on top of the park game right now and this piece gives you a look into how Alex’s riding has been progressing lately. Even though Alex suffered multiple injuries throughout the few weeks of filming, the end result is strong and entertaining as hell.” – Ride BMX

Subrosa Brand – Dialed Grips

October 12, 2017

Take a look at the new Dialed grips from Subrosa Brand…

Is it time for a fresh pair of BMX Grips? Take a closer look at the new Dialed Grips from Subrosa Brand. These grips are made from their DCR (Dura Choice Rubber Formula) material that is soft, but more durable than traditional Krayton rubber. The grips feature a wrapped line pattern that criss crosses giving you comfort and plenty of grab. You can find a few small Subrosa logos on the ends. The grips are 160mm long, have no flanges and come with matching nylon bar ends.

“Off the success of the Genetic Grip, we knew we were on the right track with grips, so we set out to make the new Dialed Grip. Using the same materials, the same diameter, but we shortened the overall length to accommodate riders who use brakes.” – Subrosa.

The Dialed grips are available in black, Black and Red Marble and Ice Blue through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Subrosa worldwide for $11.99. You can learn more about the grips on the Subrosa Website.

What do you think of the Dialed Grips from Subrosa? Do you have any questions? Let us know what you’re thinking in the comments below!
