Scotty Cranmer – Worst Skatepark Ever: Jamesburg, New Jersey

May 23, 2016

Scotty Cranmer cooking up another round of Worst Skatepark Ever. This time around Scotty and Big Boy spend some time putting the skatepark in Jamesburg, New Jersey to good use. Despite the place being pretty rough around the edges, it looks like these guys had no problem putting the place to good use! Enjoy!

“Big Boy and I drove the WRX’s over to the Jamesburg NJ skatepark because someone said it wasn’t the best skatepark out there! So we accepted the challenge and decided to try and film a whole riding video at the skatepark! Big Boy sent a huge flair right away! and then came up with some awesome lines that only he does!He also took a crazy dramatic crash in normal Big Boy fashion! I was able to do some stuff I was really proud of and I did a couple technical tail whip lines that I have never done before! I also did a barspin over the fence of the skatepark that I was really pumped on!”

GGFest 2016 Promo

May 23, 2016

The annual GGFest AKA Ghetto Games are going down in Latvia once again at the end of July! Hit play to check out some highlights from last year and then get the full scoop below! This is bound to be a damn good time!

“In a modern day world entertainment has peaked to such hights that riders have to perform circus trickery on ramps built to send one to the moon while doing a quad backflip.

At this point an event like GGFEST is a breath of fresh air. We take it back to the good ol’ days when contests were actually fun. It started with kids building plywood ramps and dirt jumps in their backyard and that’s what it still is in a way. The spirit of actual BMX freestyle is alive and well at the Ghetto Games festival in Latvia!

This summer we’ve set the dates to July 29-31! Three days of BMX street, park, dirt and flatland. You want to be here!”
