A Tour Inside Laird Frame

February 12, 2022

Here’s a really cool video Scotty Cranmer dropped from a trip he took to Mike Laird‘s shop to get a tour and learn all about Laird Frame and how his operation of building custom BMX frames all works. There aren’t too many guys doing custom BMX frames in the world, so it’s really cool seeing how this all goes. Mike also shares a ton of great information about what it takes to weld a titanium frame and what it actually takes to get it done right. Even Matty Cranmer gets some lessons in welding. Take a look!

“We got a tour of one of the most well known BMX frame maker’s shop and it was awesome! Mike Laird who is a former professional BMX rider has been building BMX frames since 2013 and has sent over 700 frames out to happy customers around the world! In this video he welds a titanium BMX frame and also gives Matty Cranmer some good advice on welding!

Scotty Cranmer’s Titanium Bike Is Worth More Than A BMW

July 8, 2021

BMX bikes are fairly expensive, but when comparing it to cars or other styles of bikes like road or mountain bike, they really aren’t that expensive in the grand scheme of things. That is, unless you go all out and get a titanium frame and parts, then things get a little wild. Scotty Cranmer decided to do a full run through of his titanium bike to see just how much it costs with all the parts, and then found a BMW car that was for sale less than this bike! Pretty wild, but a very dialed bike. Check it!

“My BMX bike is my pride and joy, it’s one of a kind and built with the highest quality parts that are on the market! But to build a bike of this caliber it’s going to cost you! This is the most expensive BMX bike I have ever owned and I added up the price of all the parts to figure out the grand total and it was more expensive than I thought it would be, in fact I could have bought a BMW 328i coupe with red leather interior and navigation instead of this bike!” – Scotty Cranmer

“The biggest game of bike ever between Cory Berglar and Morgan Wade is going down in Texas infant of a big crowd of BMX Fans and live-streaming world wide for everyone to see!

Scotty Cranmer – 100 Mile Challenge

November 16, 2020

The milestones continue for Scotty Cranmer! Over the past four years Scotty has been putting in a TON of work getting his life back after his accident, and we’ve seen a ton of amazing progress. Today, he released this video of him riding 100 mile on his BMX bike. We can count on a single hand the number of people we’ve heard of that have rode 100 miles on a BMX bike in a single day. Honestly, it would be hard for anyone to do this, and he was able to knock it out over the course of a day! This is amazing. Hell yeah, Scotty!

“I challenged myself with the my toughest test since my accident. I decided to try to ride my BMX bike 100 miles in a day! I have never attempted this and I am not sure of anyone else that has ever tried this before but I am going to prove to myself and the world that just because I’m a quadriplegic that doesn’t mean that my life is over!” – Scotty Cranmer
