Scotty Cranmer – Budget Build Dumpster Ramp Challenge

Anyone who has rode BMX for longer than about 10 minutes has probably built a sketchy ramp or something to ride that is made out of junk. It’s not the best setup in the world to ride, but damn can it be fun. Scotty Cranmer and Big Boy decided to do some dumpster diving to build an A frame to ride. Here’s a look at what they built up and what went down during the session. Even Scotty got in on the session! Take a look!

“Todays budget build challenge is Big Boy’s idea, build a ramp to do as many tricks on a BMX bike as possible! We drive around to different shopping centers searching the garbage in hopes of finding some budget build gold! Big Boy did a tail whip over the ramp we built and I did the best controlled jump that I have done since my accident!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer Injury Update – 29 Months

Leave a Comment

It’s crazy to think it has been 29 months since Scotty Cranmer‘s accident that turned his whole world upside down. In that time, Scotty has made some amazing progress from being in a wheelchair to being able to ride his bike and more. Scotty decided it was time to try and see if he could swim, so this is a look at him giving that a shot. It’s another step forward, and the progress keeps happening! Hell yeah, Scotty!

“It has been 29 months since my life changing accident and I decided to do another update video to show everyone the progress I have been making. I take you all on a bike ride and I talk about my move to Florida for the winter and I also attempt to go swimming for the first time since my accident and it turns out that I currently can’t swim! I am going to keep practicing and I am setting a goal to learn how to swim and I will check back in soon with a new progress video! Thank you all for the continued support!” – Scotty Cranmer

How To Build A Hang Five Machine

Leave a Comment

Over the years we’ve seen a number of videos teaching people how to hang five on a BMX bike, and we’ve also seen the “Hang Five Machine” come out a few times as well. Essentially what is is just your bars, stem and front wheel, eliminating the bike completely so you can figure out your balance point. Big Boy decided he wanted to learn hang five’s properly, so he had Scotty Cranmer give him some tips with the help of the hang five machine. Hit play and see how it all worked out! If that doesn’t work for you, you could always make a nose manual adaptor?

“Today we teach you how to build a hang five machine out of a BMX bike! We teach Big Boy how to use the Hang five machine and he learns how to balance and we also attempt to once again teach him how to do a proper hang five on his BMX bike!” – Scotty Cranmer

With the FloriDeah Swampfest just a few weeks away, the build out is underway and really starting to take shape. Here’s a video Scotty Cranmer put together giving us a little preview of some of the ramps and the trails that have been built so far. Based on what we’re seeing, this is going to be the craziest setup yet!

“Crazy new ramps were built for this year’s Swampfest BMX event and we got to be the first people to ride them! Big Boy did the first Flair Challenge and Matty Cranmer did an insane jump over the van! We also got to drive a real monster truck through a mud pit! This was an awesome video!” – Scotty Cranmer

It was announced the other day that Trey Jones‘ dog, Jesco Jones, had passed away. Jesco has grown to become one of the best known and loved dogs in BMX, so it hit hard for a ton of Jesco fans all around the world. Here’s a video Scotty Cranmer put together where Trey talks a little bit about what happened to Jesco and some of his thoughts about it. After that, Trey talks about what’s in store for this years Florideah Swampest. Hit play and take it all in!

“Trey Jones lost his best friend, his Bulldog, Jesco Jones. Jesco was an amazing Dog that was as unique as could be. He was extremely smart and carried himself as if he was more of a human being then an English Bulldog. He will be missed by so many but he will never be forgotten. But today also marks the first day that Trey Jones begins the build of the BMX event, Swampfest 2019. We got a tour of the event grounds and Big Boy rode his dirt bike around the track!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer made his way back up North to New Jersey to stop by his shop and see what’s going on. It turned out Brooklyn was building up a brand new custom build, so Scotty pulled out the camera to take a look at this jet fuel and gold machine. Take a look!

“I went back home to New Jersey and went to visit my bike shop to see my friends and family and catch up on everything going on! When I got to the shop our head mechanic Brooklyn was in the process of building one of the most expensive bikes we have ever listed on the online store! This BMX bike featured all the best parts and had the very popular jet fuel color with gold accents! This bike and other bikes are available now on my online bike shop so if you are interested go check it out! And if you place an order you can ask for a signed poster in the comment section of your order!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Back On The Bike Again Street Mission

Leave a Comment

It’s always a good day when Scotty Cranmer gets back on the bike! Here’s a fresh video from a street session that Scotty, Trey Jones and Big Boy got in. They hit up a few spots, get kicked out and take a few spills, and Scotty gets some time on his bike, too! Overall it looks like it was a solid session. Take a look!

“A beautiful day in Florida so we took the BMX bikes to go ride some street and find some spots to get some tricks on! We got kicked out of the first spot by an aggressive guy and Big Boy fell on a 180 at the second spot. Trey almost fell into a confirmed alligator dwelling river at spot number three and I jumped a ramp at the final spot, it was a good day!” – Scotty Cranmer

Vans – Scotty Cranmer Signature SK8-HI Pro Colorway

Leave a Comment

Scotty Cranmer’s new Sk8-Hi Pro Colorway from Vans is available now!

Almost as soon as we posted the new Kevin Peraza signature Old Skool Pro colorway, we caught a glimpse of the brand new Scotty Cranmer signature SK8-HI PRO COLORWAY from Vans! We knew Scotty had something coming, but we hadn’t heard anything specific, so we thought it would be a little while out. Well, today is that day and these shoes turned out rad!

Much like his original signature Vans, Scotty went with the Sk8-Hi Pro for the model. As many of you probably remember, the last ones he had were completely blacked out from top to bottom and this time around he’s flipped it and gone with an all off-white / white look with red accents that turned out so good.

“Vans The Sk8-Hi Pro BMX in Scotty Cranmers signature colorway is a Vans classic upgraded for enhanced performance. Featuring sturdy canvas and suede uppers, the Sk8-Hi Pro BMX also includes UltraCush HD sockliners to provide the highest level of impact cushioning, DURACAP reinforcement rubber underlays in high wear areas for unrivaled durability, and the Vans revolutionary Wafflecup BMX construction for unrivaled support and pedalfeel.” – Vans

Much like Kevin Peraza’s shoe, these come with the new Wafflecup BMX construction that we are now 98.69% confident we have never seen until now, and we’re starting to think has something to do with the whole “BMX Support Group” thing we’ve been seeing popping up the past week or two. Funny how you don’t actually piece things that are clearly right in your face together until it hits. Either way, this sole mixes the classic waffle pattern with a diamond and octagon pattern and a flat diamond pattern that will give you plenty of grip since these were designed with pedals in mind!

The Scotty Cranmer Signature SK8-HI Pro is avialable through the VANS WEBSTORE now for $80.00 in sizes of 6.5 – 13 and we would imagine they will be landing at BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Vans worldwide right now as well! Check out more over on the Vans website.

We would also assume that when Scotty mentioned he will be in Austin, Texas this coming weekend in his latest video, that he will be having a launch party like Kevin Peraza is! We will keep you updated when we get full details on that one.
