Scotty Cranmer – Dizzy Bat Foot Down

There are a few things that probably shouldn’t be put together when it comes to riding BMX, but sometimes those things can make things hilarious. Scotty Cranmer decided it’s time to bust out the Wiffle Bats again and put the guys head to head in a game of Dizzy Bat Foot Down. Needless to say, things got hilariously interesting and there was some heavy slams. Take a look at what went down!

“We finally got around to playing another game of dizzy bat foot down at my skate park! There were 8 guys that entered and 1 by 1 we battled it out to see who could stay on the bike the longest after spinning for 15 seconds as fast as they could! Matty was the most aggressive competitor of the day while Big Boy took the win for the craziest crash! And the winner proved that he was the most durable and resilient rider on the course!” – Scotty Cranmer

The Rainbow Ramp has made its return on Scotty Cranmer‘s channel! The weather didn’t cooperate, so the crew made their way into the Incline Club to have some fun on the Rain Ramp on different setups around the park. Check out what Big Boy, Ricky Hoffman, Matty Cranmer, Dom Simoncini, Vinny Mannino, Mike Shimak and Mike Fede got into during the session!

“Rainbow kicker is back in full force! We got the crew together tonight for an awesome session on a rainy day at the park! Everyone was bringing the heat. We had some massive drops and really creative setups with the kicker. So many tricks were done, tailwhips, flairs, 360 tailwhips, truck drivers and so many other bangers you will just have to watch to see!”

Scotty Cranmer – Playing Musical Bikes

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer decided it was time for another round of Musical Bikes with the crew, so they assembled a crazy mix of bikes from Big Blue to the Bicycle Skateboard and everything in between. Check out what went down and who the last man standing was!

“Musical bikes is one of the OG games here on the channel, it takes box riding and the tricks you do on a box bike and forces you to do them on the weirdest bikes we could find. You run around the bikes while I play the channel intro song and when I stop the music you have to grab the bike closest to you. The game is non stop fun, we want to take the game to other places soon so if you guys have anywhere you wanna see it played comment down below.” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Ghetto BMX Long Jump Challenge

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer decided it’s time for another Ghetto Long Jump Challenge! This time around the crew go digging in the garage for their different pieces to build a kicker to see who can go the farthest! As expected, things got really interesting and there are plenty of laughs! Check it!

“We had a long jump competition on our BMX bikes behind my bike shop! But this wasn’t a regular long jump, this time you had to go in the garage grab 3 random items and somehow build your own jump! There were five riders fighting over material for their jump and I cannot lie it was quite entertaining! After the competition started we got to see the crazy ideas the guys came up with and I was amazed by the creativity of the ramps! Ricky made the biggest ramp, while Mike made the smallest. Big Boy somehow managed to break his bike off of the ramp and cut his leg on the pedal all while eating a pickle! But after all the guys had their chance only one person walked away as the ghetto long jump champion!”

Scotty Cranmer decided to get the guys out for a little race to see who could make it through the hurdles the fastest once again. Here’s a video from the 2nd BMX hurdles race challenge that lead to so impressive times and tight competition. Check out what went down and who took the win!

“Finally got around to doing the BMX hurdle race 2! The first race came down to the wire and I ended up winning against my little brother Matty but today I’m injured and Matty is injured and we also have a couple new competitors! The race started with individual time trials to figure out the seating of the head to head events and that’s when things got crazy! Today’s course featured six hurdles on each track which is a lot of bunnyhopping. Your arms get tired and your legs turn into jello and you are shoulder to shoulder with your competitor trying to get to the finish line first! We had a couple crashes and a couple near misses but we had a few amazing races which led to an epic finish! today was fun!” – Scotty Cranmer

The Bicycle Skateboard Flair

Leave a Comment

Yesterday we got a look at the Bicycle Skateboard that Big Boy cooked up. If you caught the video, you would have heard Big Boy call out a flair on this BMX bike with a skateboard for wheels. This video starts out with a few of the guys seeing what the setup can take. After a little session, we see if this thing can go upside down! Take a peek!

“So we built the bicycle skateboard and we managed to do a few flat ground tricks on it. At the end of the first video, Big Boy said that he wanted to take it to my skatepark and he called himself out on trying a flair on one of the ramps! So we got the crew together and met up at the skatepark and all the guys took their turns on trying their tricks. They managed to grind on it, do wall rides, and Big Boy even managed to break it! But after the session was over, Big Boy had one last trick to try. So we all followed him to his favorite ramp and watched him figure out his approach, but in true Big Boy fashion, he tried it without any practice and he crashed his first attempt. He got up with the fire in his eyes and he managed to successfully flair on the bicycle skateboard! We had so much fun riding it and plan on taking it all over to other skateparks.” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Insane Bike Obstacle Course

Leave a Comment

You know you get excited when you see Scotty Cranmer and the rest of the crew have a new obstacle course challenge. They’re back at it again with another course that is packed full of random obstacles like jumps over four wheelers, a few pools, a pinata and more! This leads to some hilarious crashes and some nail biter runs. Check out what went down and see if anyone was able to make it all the way through!

“We finally got around to filming another obstacle course challenge! The whole crew met up behind my bike shop to build an insane course featuring everything from a quad to a piñata! Everyone took the course on and try their best to make it through without putting her foot down, crossing a line, or Crashing! One of the more challenging obstacles was the Free willy double pool jump! We had three guys fall in the pool and we had the worst crash that has ever happened in the obstacle course history happen on the feature as Ricky slammed insanely hard and he scared the heck out of us all! After a long day of trying their hardest to get through someone eventually made it to the end and broke the piñata! We had such a fun day riding this obstacle course and we are excited to do more!”

Scotty Cranmer – Bike Manual Challenge

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer dropped a new video from a challenge that Big Boy, Cory Berglar, Mike Shimak and Brooklyn took on with matty Cranmer as the official judge. The challenge? See who can manual the furthest without a front wheel. Anyone who has ever tried to manual without a front wheel should know it’s a completely different game when you pull the weight of the front wheel, plus the rotational weight off. Hit play to watch these guys try and figure out the magic behind it with plenty of laughs along the way.

“Have you ever thought of riding your bike with no front wheel, probably not because it wouldn’t work. And we 110% don’t suggest that you ever try and ride your bike with out a front wheel. Somehow the crazy Big Boy convinced the crew to have a manual competition on there bikes where as soon as they lifted up for the manual the front wheel would roll away. You would be in a manual with no front wheel and who ever can hold it for the longest time would win. The dangerous part about this challenge is that if you go forward you no longer have a front wheel and its an instant flip over the bars. This contest turned out to be a ton of fun and I loved watching every minute of it so I hope you guys enjoy this one!”
