Scotty Cranmer – First Skatepark Ride Since the Accident

May 15, 2017

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a fresh video that has a bit of surprise in it. The concept of the video is that each rider has to tell a story involving the Incline Club skatepark, and get a clip on their own. Well, Scotty got to tell a story and decided to hop back on the bike and get a little clip for the first time since his accident. Good stories and some rad riding footage. Always stoked to see Scotty’s progress!

“My family has owned the skate park for 17 years and the amount of stories of come out of the skate park are unbelievable. We got the boys out to the park tonight to tell a couple stories and do a trick for us. Some of the stories that are being told are absolutely insane whether they be from crashes or from successful tricks landed the amount of cool stuff that has gone on is crazy. Not to mention we made a new story tonight so the video saying sorry guys are not getting a trick for me but then I change my mind very quickly it’s time I get back on my bike and tonight is the night, tonight we have made another story. I hope you guys enjoy is one.” – Scotty Cranmer
