Scotty Cranmer – Returning To The Scene Of My Accident

October 13, 2017

Yesterday Scotty Cranmer looked back on the past year of recovering from his crash, now today he is back in Las Vegas and went back to the exact spot that nearly left him paralyzed and changed his life completely. After that, he goes back to visit the hospital that put in the work to keep him alive and apart of our lives! It’s so crazy how far Scotty has come since that day one year ago.

“On October 12 2016 I broke my neck riding my BMX bike in Las Vegas and I was expected to be paralyzed from the neck down. Throughout the past year I have lived the hardest year of my life and worked every single day to regain control of my body. In this video, I return to the location of the accident in an attempt to make sense of what happened. I also visit the hospital that saved me and got the chance to thank them all. Thank you all for helping me get through this injury.” – Scotty Cranmer

Billy Perry, Anthony Panza and Stephon Fung decided to press their luck once again and cruise some of the spots that have a heavier security presence in New York City. Here’s a look at what they got into from riding to the interesting altercations with security.

“We set out to New York City for part 4 of the NYC Security Guard Challenge series to ride some of the best and most heavily guarded spots. Our goal was to film 1 clip before getting kicked out. As usual it wasn’t easy and we had plenty of encounters, especially in Midtown. This is the first time the challenge carried over into the night.” – Billy Perry

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
