Fakie Obstacle Course

March 5, 2017

Scotty Cranmer has been keeping the guys busy with plenty of ideas to make them do. Here’s a look at what went down in Cory Berglar‘s biggest nightmare, the Fakie Obstacle Course. This one puts Cory, Big Boy, Dom Simoncini and Eddie Rovi head to head on a ridiculous course to test their fakie skills. Check out what went down and who took the win.. and who got broke off!

“We finally got around to doing another fakie challenge! This time around we have big boy, Cory, Dom, and Eddie to take on the course built by the Big Boy! The challenge started with Big Boy crashing on his first attempt! Cory Berglar had a rough day he took the hardest crash of the day and possibly the hardest crash from a 180 in the history of the channel! But he is also the toughest guy I know! After each rider taking five tries to make it through we finally got a new Fakie Challenge champion!“

Big Boy – Tailwhip Redemption

March 1, 2017

If you have been following Scotty Cranmer‘s Youtube channel since the start, there’s a good chance you remember the video when Big Boy got wrecked on a tailwhip out of a bank under an overpass. It was one of the first few videos on the channel. Since everyone was either hurt or busy, Scotty decided to challenge Big Boy to go back to that spot and redeem himself! Hit play to see Big Boy finally beat one of his worst crashes of all time.

“Since we started this channel a lot of things have changed especially ALL OF THE CREW MEMBERS BUT ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHANGES HAS BEEN FROM THE BIG BOY. IN THE PAST 14 MONTHS HE HAS LOST ABOUT 100 POUNDS and he gained not only some muscle but a lot of talent riding his BMX bike. We have seen him conquer so many challenges when it comes to doing tricks. He has mastered front flips backflips and now he is working on perfecting his tail whips. So I figured it would be time to go get redemption at the overpass where he had one of his worst crashes since the start of this channel. He accepted the challenge and we packed up the truck to get to work! It took Cory Berglar and my self to encourage big boy just like we did the last time and big boy stepped up to the occasion and brought his a game!”

Ghetto Dirt Jump Flip Challenge

February 27, 2017

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a new video for your viewing pleasure. This time around Scotty watches Big Boy and Cory Berglar build a little dirt jump out of a random pile of dirt they came across, then Big Boy and Cory send a few tricks. Big Boy made some big promises by saying he would backflip it… Does he pull it off? Hit play and find out.

“We drove past a pile of dirt and big boy opened up his mouth and said “I could backflip that!” I was quite surprised that he called himself out so on the next nice day we were at the bike shop and the time came for big boy to put his money where his mouth is! Cory puppy arms Berglar was there to help build the jump and teach big boy how to backflip it! So we built a jump and it took a lot of effort to make it Good enough to do the backflip! But the boys also did some other tricks to get warmed up like tail whip and 360 which were both very impressive! The jump was barely 3 feet but both the boys did try the backflip it was insane!”

Big Boy Brake Challenge

February 24, 2017

We don’t see too many riders running brakes these days, but there’s still plenty of guys out there that do shred them still! Big Boy decided he wanted to give the whole brake thing a go, so he dialed in his bike and had a few guys with some experience with brakes give him some advice on different brake tricks. Hit play to watch Big Boy give a bunch of different brake tricks a go with Scotty Cranmer, Brooklyn and Cory Berglar all giving him advice and examples on how to knock the tricks off the list. Can he do it? Hit play and find out!

… We would be totally okay if more people started riding brakes again.

Matty Cranmer Tells The Story of How He Broke His Leg

February 23, 2017

Nobody said riding BMX was safe, but if you didn’t ride and only watched Scotty Cranmer‘s Youtube channel, you would assume people breaking things is way too common. The other night Matty Cranmer broke his leg and is down for the count for 6-8 weeks. Here’s a video where Matty talks a little bit about how it all went down and tells you all the very tough details. However, now that Scotty and Matty are BOTH down, they decided they might as well be productive and teach Big Boy how to Rocket Manual. So, get the story from Matty, then watch Big Boy try and figure this classic trick out!

“OUR BAD LUCK JUST CONTINUES! MY LITTLE BROTHER MATTY JUST BROKE HIS LEG RIDING AT MY SKATEPARK ONLY FOUR DAYS BEFORE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO LEAVE FOR AUSTRALIA FOR A BMX COMPETITION THAT HE HAD BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO FOR MONTHS NOW. With Cory coming off a broken ankle, Vinny coming off two broken feet, and myself coming off a broken neck we are dwindling down. When it comes to people riding for the channel but there is one man left that loves to ride his bike and he starts today, the big boy! With me and Matty being hurt, we figured it would be an awesome opportunity to teach big boy a new trick! This time we are teaching him a rocket manual behind our bike shop! Also break down the crash footage of Matty breaking his leg!”

Matty Cranmer Airs Massive Over Big Boy

February 18, 2017

In preparation for the Vans 2017 BMX Pro Cup stop in Australia, Matty Cranmer decided to get some practice in at the Incline Club with Coach Big Boy. Here’s a look at some of the riding that went down from some over / unders, big airs and more! It looks like Big Boy was more than down to take a few hits for the cause. Check it!

“My little brother Matty and Big Boy decided to head to the skatepark while I am recovering to help Matty practice for Australia. Big Boy being Big Boy he really wanted to do some out of the ordinary stuff. So he used his body as a gauge to see wether Matty was going high enough or not. He got hit in the head, tire slide across, jumped over. Matty did some massive airs, crazy flips, and even sent a whip over the Big Boy. Overall pretty crazy session that went down and its awesome to see these guys just having so much fun!“

Crazy Incline Club Session

February 16, 2017

There’s always something crazy going down at the Incline Club…

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a video from a post-snow storm private session at the Incline Club with Matty Cranmer, Big Boy, Dom Simoncini, Cory Berglar, Brooklyn, Mike Shimak and Andrew Simoncini. Hit play to watch these guys go section to section in the park throwing down some real good riding all along the way. It’s safe to say things got pretty heated. Check it!

“So it was incredibly cold outside that day and it snowed a bit. Enough to not allow us to ride outside but not enough to do anything cool with. I told BIG BOY to round up the boys so we could have just a session at the skatepark something that we haven’t done in a while. It started out nice and light then out of no where Big Boy turned the heat up after crashing over and over again and getting mad resorting to an angry fake front flip. We hit BK’s bowl, rode the street section, and then made our way into the big bowl session. Tons of crashes, tail whips, backflips, flairs, front flips, and just good times. I even got a trick today as well. Comment below and let us know what you thought about this session who had your favorite trick.” – Scotty Cranmer
