Scotty Cranmer – Budget Build Dumpster Ramp Challenge

Leave a Comment

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

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

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
