Scotty Cranmer – 8 Man Game of B-I-K-E

Scotty Cranmer coming through with a new video for your viewing pleasure. This time around he decided to get all of the guys together and have an all out every man for themselves Game of B-I-K-E on flat ground… Or a game of B-M-X to make things go faster. Check out what went down and who took the win!

“We finally got around to doing another game of bike! This time we are at the incline club skate park, which is one of the best skateparks in the world but we decided to not use the skate park’s ramps but to use the flat ground instead! But to make it even more difficult we implemented a rule that if you touch a ramp during the game you will get a letter and you will get a crutch thrown at you! It’s a strange rule but my little brother was the head judge and he said that’s the way it was going to be! All eight riders were ready to bring their A- game so we started out the competition and there were a lot of unique tricks and a lot of smack talk and countless laughs! As the game went on there were tricks landed and crashed and crutches thrown but at the end of the game one rider walked away as the champion!”

Foam Pit High Jump

Leave a Comment

It’s one thing to do a high air contest on a box jump or something that could hurt a lot if things go south, but things get taken to a whole different level when the risk of getting hurt is lower. Scotty Cranmer decided to have a high air contest into the foam pit to see which one of them could go the highest. Needless to say, with everyone knowing they had the foam to land in, they weren’t scared to go huge. Check it out.

“We decided to do another foam pit high jump competition! The whole crew came out ready to try and go as high as possible off the ramp! Things got interesting very quickly as the crew started doing tricks over the height bar like backflip tail whips, front flips, and even a double tail whip to barspin! As the height bar went higher it started getting crazy as BK nearly jumped out of the foam pit! That was an insane crash! But at the end of the competition there were two people battling it out to become the foam pit high jump champion end it came down to the wire! We had such a good time laughing and having fun riding BMX bikes!”

Scotty Cranmer decided to bust out the High Jump contest once again! Here’s a video from the next round where Big Boy, Mike Shimak, Cory Berglar, Ricky Hoffman, Brooklyn, Cory Berglar and Eddie Rovi see just who is the highest air champ. Can Big Boy hold the title, or is there a new champion? Hit play and find out!

“It’s been about a year since the last time Big Boy upset the whole crew by beating every single one of us in the high jump competition out of the bank! We finally decided to see if it was a fluke win if Big Boy is really just a master of this event so we brought the crew out and some new faces to see if the record could be broken or matched! The boys started off easily clearing the bar and even tricking it! BK even tried to tail whip the bar and had an insane crash! Is the competition went on competitor started dropping until there were two that battled back-and-forth and at the end someone was able to break the old height record! And the winner just may surprise you!”

Scotty Cranmer – Time Is Money

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer always keeping things interesting. Here’s a look at a new game he cooked up that tests the guys balance. The best part is they’ve managed to make it a little more intense by throwing a dollar in for every second they can hold a tailtap, icepick, footjam, fakie and slider. Which team ended up taking the cash prize and how much did they win? Hit play and find out!

“I came up with this idea to do a team balance battle. I had to come up with a way to motivate the boys to try and balance for as long as they could. So I made them the deal that every second they did per trick would equate to a dollar. That being said if you had a total of 60 seconds at the end of the game that sixty bucks. Thats a pretty good way to make some fast cash and it fired the boys up. The competitive levels were high and the stakes made them even higher. A couple of spinals and falls made for a good laugh but there were a couple unbelievable times that came out of this and the pay out was huge!”

Crazy Incline Club Session

Leave a Comment

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

Scotty Cranmer and crew take on the BMX Trick Combo Challenge for the first time…

We’re not quite sure how they keep coming up with all of these BMX Games to play, but it’s safe to say Scotty Cranmer and the rest of the crew are always coming up with something unique and fun to try out. This time around they play a little “BMX Trick Combo Challenge” that

“we are back at my skate park and this time the crew is playing a new game! The BMX trick combo challenge! This is a team game where each rider has to add a trick to their jump on the step up things got interesting straight away! This involves a lot of strategy and coordination while in the air! So many laughs and awesome moments hang with the crew doesn’t get any better than this!”

Mandem Tandem BMX Trick Challenge

Leave a Comment

It’s been awesome seeing Scotty Cranmer getting back into the mix with the Youtube channel. It looks like he cooked up a new game for the guys to play that involved two dudes on a Gold Bike together trying to do tricks. If that sounds a little weird, you’ll definitely want to check this out to see exactly what’s going on!

“The idea of this game is to put to bmx riders on one bike. It is as crazy as to sounds. We had 3 teams of two and each team got 3 attempts on the ghetto gold bike to create a tandem bmx trick. We all came into this with high expectations of laying down some crazy tricks, instead we got some really weird outcomes that still managed to be insane. Lets just say, there was speed, no footers, spinals, shoulder riding, falling, crashing, and pretty much anything that could have gone wrong did, but we had an amazing time doing it.”

The Wheel Mill – Round 2

It’s never a bad idea to take a trip to The Wheel Mill. Here’s a video from a trip Big Boy, Matty Cranmer, Trey Jones, Cory Berglar and Mike Shimak took to spend a day cruising the park with the locals. Here’s a video giving you a look at everything that went down from the GoPro POV footage to flair challenges and more. Looks like it was another good time at the park.

“We went to the wheel mill in Pittsburgh for round two! This is one of the biggest skateparks I have ever been to! There are two levels in this park. Riding a BMX bike there is probably one of the best things I have ever done in my life. There are mountain bike rooms and crazy box jump lines! The boys loved the crazy playground. Matty was blasting the quarter pipes higher than he should humanly be allowed to! I got broke of on a 540 and Scotty and I did a voice over since the mic decided to be difficult. I did a flip and almost took a trip to the hospital and the boys and I ended the sesh off with a flip train!”
