Scotty Cranmer – 4 Years Later

October 12, 2020

It has been 4 years since Scotty Cranmer‘s crazy accident that turned his entire life upside down. Scotty sat down to tell the story of his accident and the recovery he has been making the past 4 years, which has been absolutely incredible to see. Scotty has been putting in work every day to keep getting his life back on track, and he has been documenting it all along the way on his Youtube channel. Instead of letting October 12th be that day, Scotty announced that he has launched Can’t Slow Down clothing! Check out the video to see the story, the progress and the new clothing!

Today is the 4 year anniversary of the accident that changed my life forever.
Over the years I have made unbelievable progress going from being fully paralyzed to now being back on my BMX bike riding again! To change this day from a negative to a positive I am officially launching my clothing company Can’t Slow Down to motivate and inspire myself and others to set goals and work as hard as possible to accomplish them!” – Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer – Breaking More Records Since My Accident

July 8, 2020

We’re always stoked to see the progress that Scotty Cranmer has been making since his accident completely changed up his life! It’s been a little while since we’ve seen a video testing out just what kind of progress he’s made, but he hit the track behind his bike shop to see if he’s made some improvements with his speed.

After that, some of the crew head to a park for a productive session! Hit play and take it all in!

“I challenged myself to try to beat the record I set 1 year ago on the BMX track and it wasn’t easy! I had to try it three times and do some bike modifications but I did it! We also went to the skatepark and had a lot of fun watching my favorite skater do his thing!” – Scotty Cranmer

World of X Games – Best of Scotty Cranmer

May 30, 2020

Here’s a bit of a throwback that the X Games crew cooked up filled with highlights from Scotty Cranmer over the years of his domination at the contests. This is pretty cool to look back on since it goes way back to 2003 (How has it been 17 years already?) where he accumulated 9 medals in 14 appearances. This video doesn’t even show many of the years, but this highlight reel is awesome.

This will be a walk down memory lane for some of you, and maybe a lot of this is footage you have never seen because you just started getting into BMX and you have been watching Scotty’s Youtube channel after his crash. Which means this is probably going to be really cool to see since it really shows just how good he has always been on a BMX bike.

Hit play and take it all in! Definitely a lot of memories just seeing the names in the standings and everything, and it’s interesting seeing how much the courses have changed over the years!

“Starting in 2003, New Jersey BMX prodigy Scotty Cranmer started competing in X Games BMX Park competitions. And through the years, he amassed 14 X Games competition appearances, including three bronze medals, three silver medals and three gold medals.

Scotty’s riding signaled a sea change in BMX Park riding at X Games. Before he took gold in 2006, only three other riders had ever won gold in BMX Park. Then came Scotty leading a new wave of riders that did serious battle for over a decade. It was always edge-of-your-seat competition when Scotty took to the course. From turndown frontflips to ninja walk drops over unique taco configurations on the course, Scotty did it all, with a smile on his face (after he was done competing of course…)

Here, we assembled all of Scotty’s gold medal runs from his competition years at X. Enjoy!” – X Games

Swampfest 2020 Dirt Jump Preview

March 13, 2020

The 2020 Swampfest is set to go down in a few weeks on April 4th, and things are already starting to shape up. Scotty Cranmer dropped by with Big Boy to get a preview of the dirt jumps and some of the ramps that have been built up so far. Hit play to check out what Trey Jones has been cooking up with his crew.

“Swampfest 2020 is the biggest BMX event of the year and Trey Jones is hard at work building the dirt jumps and ramps that thousands of BMX riders are so excited to ride! We got to get the first look at this year’s set up and Big Boy even got to test out the dirt jumps!” – Scotty Cranmer

Trey Jones Dirt Jumps POV

February 14, 2020

Trey Jones has been working on a fresh set of trails down in Florida. Now that they’re done and dialed in, the sessions are starting to kick into high gear. Scotty Cranmer pulled out the GoPro and strapped it on the guys for some POV action. Hit play and take a ride with the guys as they flow through the jumps! This place looks like a TON of fun to ride.

“We used a POV camera on Trey Jones’s dirt jumps during a session and we got some awesome footage of Matty Cranmer going through the dirt jumps for the first time and he even became the first rider to spin a 360 over one of the jumps!” – Scotty Cranmer

Bamboo BMX Pegs?

January 24, 2020

Can you make a BMX peg out of Bamboo? We already know you can build a BMX bike out of bamboo thanks to Mat Hoffman, but we aren’t too sure about pegs made from bamboo. Big Boy decided to head into the workshop and fabricate some bamboo BMX pegs and see how it all works out. Hit play and see how it all played out.

“Big Boy is on a quest to make BMX pegs out of anything he can, and this time he tried to use Bamboo! He has to make DIY bike pegs and complete BMX tricks with them! Did he make Eco-friendly BMX pegs?” – Scotty Cranmer

This is Why Front Brakes On A BMX Bike Are AMAZING!

January 13, 2020

This is awesome! Scotty Cranmer dropped his video for today, and this time around Trey Jones and Big Boy put some front brakes to work to see what is possible. Hit play to see the setup they put together on the bike, along with plenty of riding clips from Trey’s backyard! It would be great to see more riders throwing front brakes back on. There’s soooo many tricks that are possible because of it! Hit play and take a look!

“We installed front brakes on Big Boy’s BMX bike and they are amazing! Trey Jones and Big Boy learned so many different BMX tricks using the front brakes and we also did a DIY installing front brakes!” – Scotty Cranmer
