Monster – The Ramp II: Scotty Cranmer
Here’s one we know a few of you have been waiting to see from Scotty Cranmer and Ride BMX. The Ramp II, featuring Scotty, and Matty Cranmer, getting lose on anything they could set the little kicker up on. Based off this BMX video, it’s safe to say Scotty kicked his own ass for this one, but ended up with some amazing clips too. Check it!
“The first in a six part series, Scotty Cranmer gave the newly revamped ramp it’s first go. As always, Scotty comes through with some heavy clips, but nothing came easy…he worked for nearly every clip up until a slight miscalculation had him flying into a wall, separating his shoulder and popping a blood vessel in his eye, as well…
Rules are not what BMX is about. And, when you begin to subscribe to an idea that you’re supposed to do this or that while riding your bike, you’re missing the whole idea…
In the July 2009 issue of the magazine we introduced The Ramp. It was an article that took us two years to make, as we passively ticked away at sending it around the country to various people. Jimmy Levan did a wallride over a nine foot barb’d wire fence to flat, Garrett Byrnes jumped a Ferrari, Dave Osato did a tailwhip nosepick on a barrier, and Craig Mast attempted to jump a 50 foot creek. It was an entertaining article, we thought. It was different, yet inherently BMX at the same time. After all, a board laid on a block was, for a long time, most people’s first introduction to launching into the air. It was the first ramp and still remains the simplest to make. But, as parks get placed in every neighborhood, the idea of a block and board has seemingly been forgotten. And further, as a whole, we’ve become so institutionalized that the idea of building a ramp and jumping something out in the streets taboo. Straightforward feelings: fuck that. So, after some thought, we decided to bring the ramp back for another go for a six part series that we’ll be introducing over the next year. First up, the legendary Scotty Cranmer breaks the seal on the newly revised ramp.” – Ride BMX
