Scotty's TH-cam channel got me back on a bike at 27 after not riding for 10 years. Watching Scotty do his amazing tricks and mainly big boys progression, was so eye catching and reminded me of the fun it was to learn tricks. Every time big boy would learn something new, and Scotty being stoked, brought back he Passion. So thank you to Scotty and big boy and the whole crew for bringing the funnest times I've ever had back into my adult life. I ride every single day and i love it and appreciate it so much more now.
bro 100% i havent ridden in 7years now and i watched scotty back then hands down my favorite rider, i found his channel 6 months ago and was so shocked to see scotty gone through what he did. now after seeing his recovery and bigboys transformation to now being an actual good rider made me order my first bike and im going to start riding again in this new year. i used to think it was only to go pro and at 18 i wasnt good enough, now i just want to do it because i fucking love it. i cant wait to learn everything again and get back to front flips and flip whips. big boy and try are my favorite riders
Paris Love hell yea dude that awesome! You won't regret it. Its so much fun to forget life's stresses and jus riding. You appreciate it so much more. I'm psyched for you dude.
Jeremy McClure me too man. Although it isn't a bmx bike it's a dirt jumper I'm still riding indoor parks and trying to be my best self. Through Scotty's channel and recovery it has been an amazing inspiration. Glad I could get back into the it at 28 years old after about a 10 year break
LiveFreeandShred hell yea thats sick. Thats how long I quit for Also. I lost a lot of tricks but still feels as comfortable riding and jumping as ever. The tricks will come, I'm just glad to be doing at all. Lol
19:27-19:33 this right here is a perfect example of the self-control scotty has with the way he speaks and also his humbleness. the man was going to say "make money" and within a split second decided he didn't want to say it on camera and stopped himself from doing so. scotty is one of the best BMX riders of all time, something very few people can say about anything let alone bmx, but I believe that is not what he is most gifted at. Language is his true talent.
Calcu lxted facts, he is a true role model. He is such a good rider and is very underrated since his crash. I watch all of his videos, him and all his friends are such awesome people.
First and foremost, as a guy that interviews people for a living, you did a fantastic job. Great chops. Scotty is a fantastic story teller as well. You asked so many things that I was thinking, so I really appreciate you. As a 46-year-old guy who freestyled from 1984 until 1997, Scotty has been the number one reason why I’m back on a bmx bike again. He is also a beacon of positivity that I constantly remind myself of when things get a little bit tough in my life. I’m looking forward to sitting down and having a chat with him someday and thanking him for this in person. Congratulations on a well deserved award.
No one deserves this award more than Scotty. I’ve read through the comments and it’s amazing to see how many people have the same story as I do. Stopped riding for ten years and got back into BMX after stumbling on Scotty’s channel. For one person to inspire so many people to get back into BMX, is just jaw dropping. Congrats Scotty, and kudos to vitalBMX for choosing him!
His channel is the reason why I’m now 22 and am going to start riding again after 7 years just by remembering how fun this sport was, it’s so much fun sponsorships, don’t even matter anymore nor do contests just the fun of being on a bike and riding skateparks
I love Scotty so much, I remember looking him up in like '06 after the X-Games thinking "who was that dude going huge, pulling GIGANTIC whips and front flips." He's so humble too, he's thinking who cares about my day to day life, like bro you're Scotty F'n Cranmer, the greatest BMXer since Dave Mirra (I'd argue that Scotty's the greatest ever though).
Love this dude, as a suicidal veteran who watched my friend die and others get blown up, to coming home being fat lazy and depressed not wanting to work out or live. Watching scotty recover struggling to do pushup, one episode he did 10 push up i got on the ground physically healthy couldn't do 10 in a row, knew at that moment i had to turn it around and keep pushing. Thank you scotty and crew. With your help and motivation with videos, im doing better physically and mentally, even graduated college and got a job now 🙏
Thank you Vital Bmx and Scotty Cranmer for all that you guys do for the sport of bmx, bicycles have literally made me into the person I am today and I hope kids will continue to get involved and use the sport to drive them to accomplish anything they set out to do.
If there was a greatest Human of 2017 award Scotty would get my vote! Such an amazing person on and off a bike. He’s an inspiration to the masses and a real life super hero. Thank you Vital BMX for being here through the years to recognize people like this.
there are no words for the respect i have for this man. inspires young and old alike and his attitude and his commitment to the sport are admirable. Scotty if you read this, ride or die my dude.
Scotty is the most inspirational dude I've ever seen, truly. The progress he's made is nothing short of a miracle. And he handles himself with pure class. Nobody more deserving of such an award. Thank you for thinking of Scotty!
Scotty Cranmer is a amazing human being so positive about everything he’s going to pull thru this and be the best one day again. This prize was definitely well deserved congrats to the man round of applause for real man this guy is my idol I really want to meant this man shake his hand and have a conversation
Dead serious scotty and big boy amongst many others were the ones to get me to find a bike on Craigslist, link up with the guys from eastern and find parts to make this bike even better. And I'm back on it. I've skated since I was super young but this got me to riding along with the dirt jumper guys around here. I love the scene there is no matter how tiny it is around here. Much love to the TH-cam channel and the help to get courage to ride.
Scotty inspired me most especially bcoz i dont even ride street or park! but he inspired me to ride nonetheless. Thank you Scotty! keep getting stronger dude!!!!
scotty is proof that the human body is a very powerful thing as long as your minds up to the challenge he's a very inspiring guy to anyone going through a debilitating injury Bravo Scotty
Who even disliked this wow keep it up scotty ma man put a smile on thousands of people faces everyday such an inspiration to everyone not just the bmx community
a massive inspiration for me. I remember when he had his crash and there was a possibility he might not make it out. I'm so glad he did. a huge inspiration, a positive example and a great man. #standwithscotty
Daniel Johnson He doesn't have to, Big Boy and Ronnie were both there and I am positive he has told them each multiple times how he feels. Ronnie is like a brother to Scotty and Big Boy was just a kid they liked. Now he is all but a Cranmer. I think Scotty looks at him like he looks at Matty.
Awesome video!! Really great question. Scotty is such an awesome person and it's great to get a video of him talking about what goes behind the scenes.
That Encore Strutter (blue with whitewalls) in the background was my first bmx bike, I bought mine in 2014, awesome you have one on the shelf for sale. Truly demonstrates the variety
so proud of what you have done! mad respect from canada. love how you were able to announce at the X games. wish you all the best and cant wait to see you grind that coping! i was thinking of a mini ramp that has a sort of bungee hanging from the middle above it to help take away some of the weight of the bike and rider so you could slowly build strength up!
To say I loved this interview would be a massive understatement. If we do start cloning humans...clone this man. Scotty is a inspiration to everyone and anyone. Buzzing to continue to see your journey bro x
It's amazing how much we can learn from an accident that changes our path in life. I know you will learn more than loss from all this. I was in a horrible wreck that suddenly changed my life and doctors said I wouldn't walk. I to am a bmx lifer and was just a small town hero. Lol. It's true. I'm going to be 39 this year, going to rays this Monday.. It crazy how I allow myself to get low. I got good friends and hope. I'm gonna appreciate everything everyday. Thanks for sharing your struggles and mostly your positivity with rad friends bmx parks. BMX life. it's just freaking awesome. Oh, I walk and ride of course.
I've been watching this channel every day since June of 2016 when Scotty only had like 300k subscribers and before his bike accident . I can not believe he has made it this far. I am sure Scotty will be double peg grinding quarter pipes by at least June 2018 if he keeps up this pace, not 2 years from now
I might be mistaken but I'm pretty sure Scotty was the first professional BMX rider to start making TH-cam videos AFTER he already had a successful career in BMX.
It would have been amazing if some of Scottys sponsors eg monster energy etc would have helped to put money towards helping keep the incline club open... such a shame, I’m almost certain with the energy, drive and determination that scotty puts towards his recovery and the bmx scene this isn’t the end of the incline club story, for all us followers let’s hope not anyway. Keep going scotty!💪🏻
by far the best bloke to look up to in your life i love Scotty sounds gay but come on most people would of give up the day it happend yet he still giving it a 100 percent
Hey guys im 17 and i fucking love bmx with everything i read comments and watch videos and cry because how passionate riders really are it drives me so much none of my friends are passionate about it like i am but i guess thats what separates us i know ill be pro one day ill start a company and help the sport live on
The part about Scotty getting tons of views before his accident is so true. The channel was going threw big growth. Kind of sucks to see it has dropped views from like 250K or so a episode to only about 100K. His reasoning is spot on. After the accident and he was back with the walker, it just wasn't the same without Scott being the one going up to people and starting all these situation like calling people out for stuff. Other people had to take over for awhile. Look at his giveaway videos.... only 60K views. :/ Should be like 250K+ But i believe it will bounce back, the amount of effort put into the videos and the whole crew have a draw.

scotty is an inspiration to bmx.
a massive inspiration for me. I remember when he had his crash and there was a possibility he might not make it out. I'm so glad he did. a huge inspiration, a positive example and a great man. #standwithscotty
Honestly surprised he didn't say big boy when he was saying thanks cause after the accident big boy was there for scotty and helped with everything
I thought he took care of that when talking about the channel Thanking OBB & the guys for keeping it going
I agree, that surprised me
Daniel Johnson He doesn't have to, Big Boy and Ronnie were both there and I am positive he has told them each multiple times how he feels. Ronnie is like a brother to Scotty and Big Boy was just a kid they liked. Now he is all but a Cranmer. I think Scotty looks at him like he looks at Matty.
Big boy knows ❤️
Its crazy how things change.
Scotty is such a real one. Definitely deserves the award good choice and good interview!
That's fuckin dope Scotty came back like a beast .... No slope can count him out
Brilliant interview, great questions. Scotty Cranmer is such an incredible role model for all ages, all round top quality bloke

Great interview and things will only get better for you Scotty if you keep up all the hard work. Very deserving of the award.
Awesome video!! Really great question. Scotty is such an awesome person and it's great to get a video of him talking about what goes behind the scenes.
That Encore Strutter (blue with whitewalls) in the background was my first bmx bike, I bought mine in 2014, awesome you have one on the shelf for sale. Truly demonstrates the variety
Only 10 minutes in, great interview already.
It's nice to hear Scotty talk in a little different tone than on the channel.
Scotty you are very inspiring. I wish you Continued health and success.

Your very inspiring and I enjoy your videos
I've been watching this channel every day since June of 2016 when Scotty only had like 300k subscribers and before his bike accident . I can not believe he has made it this far. I am sure Scotty will be double peg grinding quarter pipes by at least June 2018 if he keeps up this pace, not 2 years from now
2018 human of the year.
and this is why i have a #standwithscotty decal on my snowboard. hes an inspiration to all sports
#ridewithscotty

Keep going scotty!💪🏻
I THOUGHT THIS WAS MADE BEFORE THE CRASH! He looks like he used to now
Nah. This was shot a couple of days ago.
Agreed
What a legend...
by far the best bloke to look up to in your life i love Scotty sounds gay but come on most people would of give up the day it happend yet he still giving it a 100 percent
The algorithm. First time I’ll thank it. Here’s some 🌮🌮.
So where do I find the clip of the dude doing double tail whip to whiplash to double tail whip out cause that's insane. Send help
Hey guys im 17 and i fucking love bmx with everything i read comments and watch videos and cry because how passionate riders really are it drives me so much none of my friends are passionate about it like i am but i guess thats what separates us i know ill be pro one day ill start a company and help the sport live on
Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

Deadset inspiration!
Is there this but in like a podcast?
Go check out "The BMX in our Blood" podcast. There is about a 2 hour interview with him. It's great.
