Skate Bike vs. Skatepark Security

August 15, 2017

This is brilliant. Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy and Cory Berglar decided to see if they could ride a skatepark that doesn’t allow bikes with the Bicycle Skateboard without getting kicked out. Technically it’s a bike, but the way it’s setup it rides the same way a skateboard would on rails and ledges. Hit that play button to see what went down on the setup before security showed up… Do they allow it or did they get the boot? Hit play to find out!

“Skate bike is back, it is a very weird contraption made by a very weird individual! That being said it is technically a skateboard with handle bars. So we decided to see if we could get it to pass as a skateboard. Long Branch skatepark is a park that we always get kicked out of. So we put the bike board to the test! Find out wether big boys invention gets shot down or is a success!” – Scotty Cranmer

Common Crew – Chris Eiland 2017 Video

August 15, 2017

It’s always rad seeing the guys who are primarily behind the scenes shooting photos and filming put out a full edit. The Common Crew just dropped this new one featuring photographer Chris Eiland going to work on his bike and skatepark on southern California street spots. It’s safe to say Chris crushes it on both sides of the lens after watching this one. Hit play and enjoy!

“Chris Eiland is usually behind the lens handling most of the Common Crew photo work. He’s got us in multiple magazines and even created our own book ( thecommondays vol.1 ) based around Monster Mash. Today however, Chris proves he can handle himself extremely well in front of the lens. I can’t think of another photographer ever slaying the crank-hard game so well.
