Scotty Cranmer – Almost Lost Teeth Riding Street

June 29, 2016

Scotty Cranmer, Big Boy and Dom Simoncini decided to head out for a day of street spots for the latest webisode. Hit play to check out some of the riding they got in, along with a close call Scotty had with a rail that could have lead to a trip to the dentist.

“We love riding street! Well, we love all kinds of riding no matter what as long as we are on our BMX Bikes! For the 2nd street mission we went to some random abandoned building in a small town in NJ that had some really fun spots to ride. Me, Dom, and Big Boy spent a few hours in the hot sun and got some awesome riding done. Big Boy did some really creative Nose press lines while Dom did some amazing icepick grinds! I almost knocked my teeth out again grinding a rail but I just caught myself at the last second! Big Boy got angry and threw a temper tantrum and he got so mad that he jumped in a bush twice!We all got some awesome tricks in that we were proud of and we are so excited to go riding again!”

UK natives Alex Coleborn and Ryan Taylor, widely seen as two of the top park riders in the world, grabbed fourth and fifth place respectively, while Arizona, USA’s Kevin Peraza rounded out the final list of athletes advancing from pre-qualifiers.
