- Vans BMX presents Whirlwind, a look inside team rider Scotty Cranmer’s inspirational story, nearly five years after he endured a life-changing accident. Whirlwind chronicles Scotty’s astronomical rise to notoriety, which gripped the BMX world’s attention, and his positive “anything is possible” mindset that has kept him moving forward against all odds, even in the face of an accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down.

/ vansshoes66 - Sport
Thank you all for the overwhelming support.
I may not be able to ride my BMX bike like I used to but my love for this sport and the community is as strong as ever. Thank you Vans for having my back since the beginning.
All love to Scotty and the Cranmer family! Video was amazing.
You don't have to thank us. Never give up. Love you brother
Scotty you are such a legend mate, been a long time fan from watching X games and watching your CZcams channel. Really happy to see you doing what you love and enjoying it, the positivity is contagious! As always, I look forward to the future of the channel and how you continue to push yourself. 💪 stay strong dude!
Been with you since 74k Subs. Thank you for the laughs and enjoyment you've brought into my life Scotty. So proud of how far you've came, Never Slow Down.
❤
The fact that Vans is still standing by Scotty is awesome. I’m gonna go order myself a new pair!
I skate I only skate vans I respect Scotty so much dude is such a positive influence on humanity I wish him the absolute best
I got a new slipons today
Ive spent more money on my vans more than I probably have on most anything else
+1 gonna have to support vans from now on 🤙
The ultrarange EXO mte for the winter months is great. Love mine!
As someone who found Scottys channel when it was relatively new and watched every single video, almost like a daily routine to feel better. I remember this happening, It's been so long but watching this made me very emotional. Scotty is a true Viking.
Was going to write the same, Scotty gave and gives so much of himself since he was a kid. He is an example for everybody out there. Thanks Scotty!
Same dude.
Bro, holy crap. I'm in a wheelchair and your the inspiration for me. I played wheelchair rugby a few years back until I had issues with my bladder. The doctors said not to do it, 1 year later I was a on a medal winning team. I didn't get to play long but I never stop completely. I still get in my chair and go. Knocking guys down who are 300lbs plus. I'm 180lbs🤫 lol. I enjoy every day I am alive. I have bad days but everyone does. Disabled or not. Keep up the awesome work brother 👍👊
Scotty is such a great person & a great ambassador of the sport. Vans made a smart move sticking with this kid. Great company.
Let’s go scotty
I bet sticking with him was never a question
The size of Scott’s heart & soul are unmatched ❤️
They Sure Did!
Amen brother.
i used to ride at the incline club all the time, his brain injury broke my heart. without any warning, i had a brain infection that led to like 4 strokes. i had brain surgery and i lost hearing in one ear. i have a permanent hearing aid and am going through a similar recovery. i hop back on my bike but can’t 180 or fakie. his recovery is my inspiration. i relate to him so much after what happened to me
God bless
Keep ur head up and dony let anything discourage u
Keep pushing brother.
Can't slow down! 💙
Much love bro you can conquer your goals ❤️❤️
Unbelievable....and then to build the community he's built AFTER the accident? Remarkable.
Been there before the accident
@@haunted_wolf5649 same
Yeah it’s been there way before the accident, i miss the old vlogs shit pulled me thru high school
What a legend
Shout out to Donna for actually being on camera XD
Only the real scotty fans will smile at this comment. 👊 nice one dude.
Plot twist, she didnt knew she was being filmed lol
@@deanharriss2029 yeesssiirrr bro 😎
Haha!! Totally thought the same thing!
The "plot twist, she didnt know she was being filmed" had me rolling 😂😂
Young Scotty sharing the podium with the goats Nyquist and Mirra. So cool
Ya I was like wow. That's amazing so rad.
This video made me cry for so many reasons.. Scotty is an absolute legend, but I really miss Big Boy. You can hear his voice in the background of these clips and the amount of excitement he had for every time step Scotty made along the way. Really sad to see that lost. This is almost like reliving my own life in a way.. I've been watching every single video since the start and this brought back so many good and bad memories, but history is what makes us who we are. Really happy where the Cranmer crew is at these days, but can only hope that one day in the future, Big Boy can stop by for a visit and reminisce with Scotty about the good ol' days.
I thought i was a Vans fan before…but now??! Man…. I love watching Scottys videos, such a good soul! He’s the GOAT!
YES YES A MILLION TIMES YES! Scotty would never do something like this on his own channel, but it's amazing to see and hear respected people in BMX talk about their love for Scotty. And the addition of Big Scott and Donna was awesome. Love Scotty and his crew and thank you Vans for this video
You know it ment alot to them when Donna willingly goes on camera lol
I’ve ridden a BMX bike probably 3 times in my life but I’ve watched almost every video on the SC CZcams channel. It’s funny to think I could name every trick when I was watching the olympics. Despite the setbacks Scotty and the rest of the crew have built something special. Even though it is a BMX channel, to me at least, the best thing about it, and the reason I’ve kept watching for so many years, is the people the channel is built around. Everyone is unique and interesting, and Scotty does an amazing job of getting the best out of everyone. To me, the best thing about Scotty was never his ability on the bike. It has always been his personality, spirit, charisma, enthusiasm, and ability to bring people together. Take away all your achievements on a bike and you’re still a legend Scotty.
Amen dude!!!! Well said!
Very well said I also suck on bmx bike but love Scotty and bmx
same immediately was hooked by Scotty's personality dont even ride ran across the channel watching motorcycle videos on auto play and they were riding pit bikes and that was it watched every one from the beginning
breaks my heart big boy wasnt in this. their bond was like no other. So sad hopefully they can reconnect and work through it all.
I come back to this video every month I swear. Brings tears to my eyes, makes me very happy to see these past few years the progress Scotty has made. Such a big inspiration! Always has, always will be!
Hell yea Scott! One love❤️❤️
Think you'll be in one of his vids again?
Wud up Mike! It was good seeing you in this video. 🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m not crying you’re crying.
Scotty’s positivity, love for life and love for his family gives us all something to strive for. Even off a bike he sets the bar at the max it can go.
Amazing video!!
I just have something in both my eyes
Yep nah totally crying live few miles from the old incline club been watching his channel since legit day 1 to see the story and progress yeah this one got a gangsta all misty eyed 😂😂
@@deeeekayyy4666 life is fucking crazy
I low key was weeping. That's how moving my guys story is.
Didn't even see Your comment before i said the same thing. Lmao
What a story!
My 1st love was a BMX back in 1980 and even though I turned 52 today I still love watching how things have evolved over the years.
I almost shed a tear watching this, just as well I'm a tough guy and didn't lol, sniff.
What an amazing journey, Scotty is one special tough ass dude.
Thanks for sharing with us, full respect.
Tough guys cry too. Just sayin
I have a recommendation for you. Check out Dennis Enarson's CZcams channel. He makes some really fun and down to earth BMX videos.
This is incredible. As a NeuroSurgery Nurse working with brain and spinal injuries…Scotty you demonstrate how very hard work and determination pays off. I am floored with your recovery. Amazing
We’re on! Enjoy everyone, thanks for tuning in!
Whaa..
@ANJLOG You bots have no chill...
Can’t wait! This is gonna be amazing, you’re all going to love it! Incredible story with incredible work done by Dan Foley and everyone else at Vans.
Stoked
going to be nuts
Can't wait, you guys never disappoint me for sure. 🤙🤙
So stoked to watch this
Dan is the man!!
Top 5 best riders of all time, easily. Lets not forget what Scotty was doing 10+ years ago that people still cant do today. Way ahead of his time as a rider. The Scotty we knew may never come back but the Scotty that's here today is remarkable. Top guy. It just shows what morals Vans as a company have for sticking by him.
I will honestly say this is the one CZcams recommendation that made my evening. Thanks Scotty. It is this type of dedication to the sport, community, and culture of BMX that keeps a little place in my life. I moved away from DJ and BMX for mountain biking, and then let myself get old and lose that flame. I felt that flame rekindle a bit tonight.
Normally I would say I'm not crying you're crying but this is Scotty Cranmer and we're all crying. We love you Scotty.
Seeing that first video back of Scotty without his forehead after the accident is so difficult to see again. Scotty is such a strong and amazing person, been subbed to him since 74k. The enjoyment he has brought to my life is something I can never thank him enough for.
From a long term watcher of the channel, i genuinely got a chill down my spine when the screen went black and seeing him like that again.
Thank you VANS for backing up this young man and not shercing your responsibility
I shed so many tears of joy for this guy over the past few years. The term legend is thrown about way to much these days, but totally fits for Scotty. What an inspiration this guy is!
It’s crazy that even though I’ve never met Scotty, it feels like I’ve known him for years. I found his channel about 3 months before the accident and one day I was telling a friend to google him and when I did, I saw a bunch of news articles about Scotty being in an accident only a few hours before I happened to think about him. At first I didn’t even believe it but a video came out a little while later and confirmed it. I’ve watched everything since then and seeing Scotty’s determination and outlook on life has been one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever witnessed. Thank you for being you Scott and I hope to meet you one day
exact same here. found the channel in the summer of that year. didnt think the accident was real. brought me to tears. crazy to think that channel has been in so much of my life
Unbelievable job everyone, that was an awesome video. Great work Vans and especially Dan Foley, amazing work behind the lens.
Scotty is a inspiration to everyone. Keep it up Scotty!!!!!
Not only do we love Scotty, we love you just as much Matty and sad to say but now because of his accident you are now the Best rider we all know it and so does he, he loves you and watching you is what brings him the joy he has,when you ride = he is riding through and with you 😎😎😎😎😎
Scotty you are a LEGEND. Vans you rule for staying with Scotty and being the awesome company you have always been
Pure Inspiration, shining light he is.
Dangit i just finished the video on the cranmer channel i thought it was gonna be live now i have to sit here and wait four hours because im not gonna miss this.
well worth it, this video was proper
I'd like to hear more from his girl, I really appreciate her sticking by him, I know how hard it is to stick by somebody who has a long road ahead of them, you lose a lot of the physical attributes you used to have going through a big accident like this. I'm just saying, massive respect to Scotty and big respect to his family.
She does seem to be quite an awesome person. I think she prefers to be out of the limelight though.
Lisa doesn't like to be on the camera but I agree I would love to get a video from her as well. She has all my respect in the world.
Actually makes me cry seeing all this Scotty has been a huge influence to me through hard times in life. If he can keep a smile on his face so can we. Keep going and Can’t Slow Down
How can anyone dislike a video with a message like that .. I won’t ever get that !!
Great video !!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 keep going
I’m a grown ass man (36) and this video brought tears to my eyes! I swear Scotty is the most amazing person ever! I’ve been watching him for years and he always does something to amaze me! The worlds yours Scotty keep being amazing!
Straight tears bro.
I knew when I started this video I was gunna cry...
Dude I'm 37 and I'm crying like a baby by the end) His story is heart breaking. Cool to see him still enjoy life after all he's been through, that's a huge mental strength, I wouldn't imagine someone else being able to do that. Mad respect to Scotty Cranmer!
Glad I'm not the only grown ass man crying lol
@@19Dad84bod Hahaha. You're not alone, my friend.
Hearing bigboy in some of the old clips makes me really hope they make up one day and we get videos together again. Love what both are doing but it's not addition when they were together it was exponentially better
was thinking the same thing, when they showed the clip of him riding the ramps after his injury and bigboy cheering him on the whole way, they were such a dynamic duo
I was hoping to see them interviewing big boy in this video
yep was pretty disappointed big boy was edited out of Scotty's life seems to me big boy is the only reason his channel kept going the whole recovery we obviously don't know the whole scoop but to edit big boy out was pretty harsh he was there from the beginning and carried on when scotty couldn't
@@drumhailer547 I mean they didn’t really edit him out, big boy was mostly behind the camera a lot, it’s not like they interviewed Cory, or Bonnie, or anyone else of that crew of the early CZcams days.
I was thinking the same thing: you can hear the adoration and love behind that encouragement. I don't mind so much if they don't make videos together - but I want for them to have each other's backs.
This is the way of saying "Be Contented On What You Can Do" you are the #1 Professional BMX Rider, and you already prove that Scotty
April 28th 2015 I had a bike accident resulting in a fractured skull, got rushed to the hospital and had emergency surgery. Had a titanium plate installed to cover the hole that got punched in my skull. Watched Scotty the following weeks for motivation. Got back on my bike and it was the best feeling in the world. My journey was not over yet. April 3rd 2019 I accidentally drilled a hole through my hand at work causing me to faint and fall backwards on to concrete. Got rushed to the hospital. It felt like I was reliving a nightmare all over again, skull fracture for a second time. I couldn’t believe it. Weeks later I finally get my life back to normal again. 2 skull fractures and a plate in my head before I was even 21. I’m not as smart and balanced as I used to be but thankful to be alive. Thank you Scotty for always being positive and never giving up, it is a huge inspiration to me. Riding my bike is still my favorite thing to do and will be for my entire life.
Dude this brought tears to my eyes even tho I’ve seen your journey from the Dew Tour, X-games, before and since the accident. Legend in BMX and LIFE ❤️🔥
Gotta stay awake until 1am in England, 100% gonna be worth it though
yessir fully
same here bro! while you wait check out my BMX Freestyle czcams.com/video/W2i_TfHtgkc/video.html
I'd love to see a full length Netflix documentary on Scotty. The legend.
Never say never!
Sounds promising ;) I can only imagine how amazing it would be!
19:49 who ever it is in the background cheering him on is truly amazing to here the 100% support and pride for Scotty… so happy for him!
I’ve been watching scottys channel since day one and it has been an amazing journey to watch him be the best at what he does and to see it ripped away from him and to see him react the way he did and do the things he’s done since the accident, well it’s just simply amazing there’s no other word to explain it. Matty said it perfect, Scotty Cranmer is Superman.
Can't wait to see this vid .I'm not a BMX rider but Scotty helped me fight a battle from my own injury seeing his hard work .💪👍❤️
Nothing else makes a grown man cry both happy and sad tears more. thank you scotty
shoutout to vans for standing with scotty this whole time you are all amazing keep it up!
I remember when I lived in Jersey & going to Incline Club every summer every 2 weeks. When ever Scotty was there, you stopped & watched him. He was my age but riding like Mirra. First time I saw him, he did a backflip over the first box, truck over the second, touched the top of the big vert wall, then flip whipped the big box. He came back on the deck & just started talking to his friends. Its was the most casual run I ever saw. I was freaking out but he was just doing what scotty did.
Man I’ve watched scotty for so long now. When he made his youtube channel i was so stoked. Haven’t missed a video yet and i remember right before his crash i was so invested in the channel and felt like i knew everyone on it.
When scotty had his crash it crushed me and i realized how much his content was doing for me. I was going through tough times but his channel always made me laugh.
Scott is an absolute legend and such a strong human.
Scotty is the sole reason why I have started collecting and riding bikes again.
I was and still am a huge fan of scotty's when he released the video after his accident my heart broke. Seeing the man that was to stubborn to give up on a trick that he was confident with to him not being able to walk and having to relearn stuff was heart wrenching I'm super happy hes made such huge progress in his road to getting back on the bike.
Thank you vans for being a stand out company and supporting scotty through all of this.
Perfect title to describe his story.
Vans is honestly the best sho company, I already loved the shoes but the fact y’all stand by your athletes is so great, y’all will forever be my go to sneaker
I think Scotty's winner's mentality never fully materialised in his wins as a rider but in his setbacks as a person. The way he battled through a horrific injury truly inspired me to battle on with my life's problems.
Scotty is a true legend, he really inspires me since I was a younger kid to always make the best out of what I have, and try my hardest
We stand with scotty we ride with scotty. Scotty is awesome and love his CZcams channel. He is agreat dude and hope he gets back to being able to do some type of tricks. This man is an inspiration and he doesn't even know it. He is someone kids look up to and know never give up no matter what happens. To what you love and give it your all. This man is as much of a legend as it gets.
I remember watching Scotty everyday as a teenager, waited every day after school for him to drop a CZcams video until one month he stopped posting and one month went to two until that CZcams video dropped! I remember crying because he was the best rider ever especially for that age. Love you Scotty!!
And this is why I support and wear only Vans.
Oh boy, I wasn't ready, but so many tears! Having followed Scotty since he first went pro seeing this journey again here is so damn bloody inspiring, just never giving up. Always fighting for be better, to get better, to be the best. I don't know if you'll see this Scotty, but I love you man, you're so bloody strong. Literally the best!
I had a TBI myself. One second I was driving, the next I was in the hospital hearing about possible brain surgery. Scotty's story speaks volumes to me after the year and a half struggle I had to get back to some kind of normalcy. I watched the channel every day until the X-Games accident, when life got a little too busy to keep up anymore, but if anybody can do this, I know it's Scotty.
Hope you're doing good
@18:07 "It is not going to be easy, but I gotta do this. This is apart of getting better, it is pushing myself." -- Thanks for continuing to strive for greatness and happiness Scotty, it is an inspiration to so many who want to give up having gone through less.
I remember subbing after his first few videos came ot and watching him through this whole ordeal and still comin out on top
This made me smile ear to ear. I've been following Scotty's channel for years and horribly fractured and shattered my foot with a lot of other damage last month which set me back incredibly as a rollerblader. Scotty is my greatest inspiration and I will continuously use his example to keep fighting to get my form back. Thank you for everything, Scotty.
Man, watching all those old clips just reminds me how Scotty was just on another level when it come to riding.
I remember watching Scotty as a teen because of him Bmx has been apart of my life ,Truly is an Inspiration
Vans, what a class act for this and sticking by your athlete after such an accident.
Been watching Scotty since about a year before the accident. I still remember the day I found out and I just couldn't believe it. But in that accident we got to see Scotty push even harder and somehow become even more inspirational with his recovery. His constant positive outlook was a real help for me during some hard times of my own, so cheers Scotty. Keep pushing as always.
Man I remember the minute that crash video was uploaded, I was just crying soooo hard, seeing him come this far shows you that hard work will get you far! Big love Scotty if you read this
Love how Vans is still at his side. Mad respect for Scotty and Vans.
I survived a car accident due to being dumb but this just motivated me to get back on my bike after therapy thank you so much for being a big part of my life Scotty your the best!
This one of the best Scotty Cranmer tribute video of all times! Still a bit sad Alex wasn't present in any clips other than in voice, since he was such a big presence in the channel and in Scotty's life at the time. But heartwarming nonetheless. I hope Scotty gets further into his goals and that he ends up burrying the hatchet with big boy, because that was the second worst heart break of my CZcams watching career, only second to his accident. Best wishes boys
He did nt even deserve a voice cameo !
Scotty was my favourite when he was at the top and I'm an even bigger fan now. What an unbelievably inspirational human man he just has no quit and is so positive in the face of adversity
The fact that you are Superman to your brother and most bmx Americans should be the highest compliment of all
Scotty. Your ability to overcome major challenges has minimized my current issues. Thank you for posting.
One hell of a video and one hell of a rider. I love that Scotty is still fighting and winning his battle to get back in to riding and he never gives up trying
What a legend Scott is! And shout out to Dan Foley as well, one of the most stylish riders out there and made this masterpiece!
As someone who fractured my skull skating, if it wasn't for scotty's video, it made me realize how serious my head injury was. I was in a coma while on life support for a week, so I didn't get to experience that part. I just remember waking up tied down to a hospital bed. I never got help after that as figured I could do it all on my own as I didnt truly understand the severity of my injury. I always watched scotty's videos, so when I seen his first video back, it got emotional as I made me think of what I went through while I was in coma. So I reached out for help. I know scotty probably won't see this, but your bike accident wasn't the only thing that inspired people, youre recovery deserves medals too.
Scottys channel is what got me back into biking. I used to come home watch his videos and go biking all the time! I still watch his videos, but I do miss watching him ride all the time how he used to. He was insane at all types of riding, street, park and dirt!
I subbed to Scotty's channel before he had 5k Subscribers and I am still here for every video. It's been a long hard journey but the best is yet to come. #cantslowdown
#SinceTheSlabs such a big part of my life.
Can't help but to hear big boy in the background quite a bit. I sure wish things would chill and they could hug it out some day.
Yeah. I know it's automatically generated but in the subtitles he's just "cameraman" and it's a little sad. But to be fair there was no emphasis on any of the other guys either, and Big Boy can be seen quite a few times (you can see him about the same percentage as he was behind/in front of the camera on the channel after Scotty's accident) so it's not like he was erased from history. As I see this short film was directed to be about Scotty and nobody else.
You got to respect the fact that some people just aren't ment to be friends forever.
The footage of Scotty in the hospital and recovering is so hard to watch again. But man is it amazing to see how far he has recovered from then. I love that guy!💚✌
I love Scotty because even after that bad of an accident he manage to stay positive.
I'm sub of Scotty for a long time now and I freakin love him and the crew. Scotty, Matty, and BK so good to have you all back! Can't wait for tomorrow to see how those ramps are coming along!
You forgot 3 of the TEAM = Corey , Dom and Vinny !!!!!
Who would give this a thumbs down? Keep at it Scotty! ❤️
AS a long time watcher of Scotty's channel , seeing scotty push Big Boy all the way to help him learn and succeed on a BMX bike was amazing to watch, Then that day we all see that message about Scotty's injury and was devastating to see.
Now seeing how far Scotty has come is incredible and i find myself saying come on Scotty you really have done enough now, but then nothing seems to be enough for Scotty.
Hats off my man much respect.
I grew up watching Cranmer and I still do on his YT channel with his brother. Straight fire
ive been watching Scotty's youtube since the start he's impacted me so much and in all honesty i still tear up a bit seeing the progress he has made it is truly amazing.
I’m so proud of you Scotty! If you ever see this, keep on going. You’re doing so great. You got this man
I don’t even ride, but I watched Scotty’s videos and was so inspired by what he did, I’d show his videos to other people who didn’t know what pro BMX was! I had kids got married and my time for BMX dwindled. Only last year I thought I’d check in on Scotty and see what he’s been up to after 4-5 years not watching and wow. I cried when I saw the accident and the aftermath. How could someone I admired and kinda looked up to, have such a horrific life altering accident? It didn’t seem real. Since then I’ve watched the updates and to say his recovery has been a miracle would be to discredit all the hard work Scotty has put in. He is the definition of dedication and in this chapter of his life I’m as inspired as I was when I saw him do a tail whip for the first time. Thank God for Scotty. He doesn’t know how many people he has touched. ❤
He is truly an inspiration to all of who ride. He inspires me every time I ride. I’m getting the hang of riding again but I haven’t given up. I have definitely changed and haven’t been able to do things like I use to which is so frustrating but having someone to look up to like scotty really helps.
nothing but love and admiration for scotty. i was able to meet him at woodword probably around '06 and he was honestly one of the nicest, most genuine people ive ever met. hated to see the injury be so proud the success hes worked toward since then. thank you vans for putting this video together. and thank you scotty for being you!
Wouldn’t have found BMX without you Scotty, we love you man.
As a cyclist I really resonate with Scotty Cramer and the horrible accident he experienced.
My short story is in 2017 I was slammed by a car going 40 mph and some how I survived. The dr. Said my helmet is what saved my life. I also could not wate to get back on my bike and not 2 days after I was cleared by the physical therapist. I was already riding like nothing had happened.
This was a great episode into the life of Scotty C.
its hard hearing BIGBOY on the video. sad to see that things got on the way of their friendship. keep it up Scotty
You know it runs deep too. Most of the crew showed up in a few frames here and there, but not a single frame of BB. He went from being like 40% fo the channel, to vanished… sad
@@joshmansker yup. $$$ ruins things for alot people.
what happened ?
@@trevorjrhardy since he moved to Florida and got sponsored they grew apart. Bigboy started his own channel and started bailing on stuff with scotty. He wanted to do his own thing and it rubbed scotty the wrong way. I listened to both sides and I see where both of them are coming from. But basically scotty wanted bigboy to stay a main member and help out with his channel, and bigboy wanted to start his own. This and the fact that they now live far apart caused a rift. They have both stated that there is no hard feelings but they don't get along like they used to anymore. Its extra awkward because bigboy is closer with trey now who is married to scottys sister. Money and each of their personal desires kinda got in the way of the friendship. Hoping they can make up but whenever they talk about eachother nowadays it's always about how people grow apart. Sad tho
Thank you for all the memories Scotty! More to come!
I'm 52 years old and this video made me cry! I went through this (sorta) same thing...I use to be heavy into bmx-freestyle....but, my injuries weren't from doin cool shit like Scotty,..but,rather, falling out of a window (2stories).. and breaking my back in 2 places and shattering my c-5 in my neck. Got life flighted to the hospital and when I came to,..the surgeon said "I can't emphasize enough how lucky you are to not be paralyzed or dead".. I then asked when was the surgery going to be. Then he said "it's already done " currently, I'm skateboarding, bmxin,and more! Good job Scotty!
I've purchased three pairs of riding shoes since 2018. All three have been Vans. I made the conscious decision to support the companies that continue to support our sport and more importantly the riders.
BIG props to Vans for sticking by Scotty. Show your support back to Vans as fans of Scotty and of BMX.
This video made me tear up a bit, I loved seeing your riding - I love what your doing now, but it’s hard not to think of what more you had to give, seeing where the sport is now trick wise, I can only think that you’d still be leading the way and innovating, I can only imagine what kind of insanity you’d be doing on a bike these days. Keep on fighting Scotty 🤙🏼💪🏼
15.17 still makes me cry 😢 you are a great inspiration and it makes me so happy to see how far you have come😃
This video also made me miss Bigboy too, he was there for you when you were down brother. Please reconnect with him Scotty 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
