Scotty Cranmer – Riding BMX At School

July 14, 2016

Another day, another video from Scotty Cranmer. This time around Scotty and Big Boy spend some time at Scotty’s old school seeing what they could come up with for clips on some of the “spots” the place has to offer. As usual, plenty of laughs and some good riding. Take a peek!

“We drove over to my old elementary school in Howell, NJ and decided to have a session and see what we could come up with! We started out riding the manual pad and then made our way to the playground and that’s where things got interesting! I ended up doing a bunny hop across the united states of america! Big Boy rode up a tree and landed spinal! Then Big boy did Canadian Ninja warrior on the swingset! Big Boy crashed a lot! but we still had a lot of fun! I hope this video shows you guys that it doesn’t matter where or what you ride, you can have fun riding anything!”

ATXliens

July 14, 2016

There’s no shortage of people making a trip down to Austin, Texas in the BMX world. Here’s a fresh mix of footage Charlie Crumlish put together from some of the locals, along with a ton of visitors getting down on spots all over the city!

“Charlie Crumlish decided to trick his friends.. and now ATXliens have invaded earth!

Riding from: Jake Seeley, Tom Dugan, Matt Nordstrom, Brett Silva, Kareem Williams, Brandon Begin, Craig Passero, Mag-Wheel Guy, and many many more.

There’s so much to be said about this glimpse into the weird and revered Austin, TX scene. So many inside jokes and mind trips woven into the fabric of this video that you’ll have to watch at least 3 times. Here’s Charlie’s description of how he tricked his friends..

“Over the winter I started to notice that we only filmed Instagram clips when we were out riding. Lots of good shit was happening but overall it felt like we weren’t working on anything solid or somewhat permanent. So I decided to trick my friends.

It was easy. If we were out riding and anyone wanted me to shoot an Instaclip of them, I’d tell them I would film it on the real camera and send them the clip later that evening, Naturally everyone forgot what they’d shot by the time we were done riding, and the edit folder continued to grow. A few dodged text messages later, here we are. Sorry guys! I’ll send y’all the clips now that the edit is done. ATXliens have invaded earth.” – Charlie Crumlish

July 14, 2016

Animal Bikes uploaded the Garrett Byrnes promo for the Animal X Terrible One collaboration Ursa Minor and Major Tires to their Youtube channel, so we figured it was a good enough excuse for another look at it! Hit play to watch Garrett absolutely destroy a few skateparks, pools and street spots with a few guest clips from Lil Jon. Everything about this video kicks ass, so make sure you hit play and enjoy this… A couple times!

“Animal bikes and Terrible one have teamed up to bring a new dual compound tire to the streets and skateparks. The hard compound on top provides a lower rolling resistance while the soft compound on the outside provides increased corner grip.”
