  • I (Scotty Cranmer) had a terrible crash riding my BMX bike that resulted with spinal cord injury that left my body permanently partially paralyzed but I am lucky enough to still be able to ride my bike and today I met with Dakota Gillettt who is another BMX rider that has a very similar injury to me that also still rides his BMX bike! We sit down and talk to Dad about his injury and we also show you his skills riding his local skatepark!

    This was a pretty dope video. I know this might be a challenge for you both but you two should play a game of BIKE? Think it'd be legendary to see you be able to join a game of BIKE again much love bro ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

      As much as I’d love this I think Scotty has too much ptsd from his crash getting in the way and unfortunately has not gotten as good as this guy but still absolutely respect Scotty he has killed it to do what he has and needs to prove nothing to anyone

    Hi, my name is George and I have Cerebral palsy, Basically brain damage at birth. I do wcmx ( wheelchair motocross) I take my wheelchair to the skatepark. I am Glad you compared disabilities because I am fed up When people compare us to each other even though our disabilities are differand, people think we can do tricks like jumping on rails when we can't. I also struggle to get out of bowls, And up some ramps. My disability Affects my upper body as well as my bottom half. My right ankle turns in as well. Sometimes when I go and do droppings my arms don't physically move. So I push off sideways Causing me to crash.
    If you ever want to have a go, just let me know. I live in the UK ( North Wales) Thank you for sharing awareness about adaptive skating.

    You are too, Dakota. Anyone still pushing after something like that has my utmost respect and, in my eyes, is a true legend.

    As someone who was watching this channel in 2015-2016 it is so crazy how far you've come Scotty. It really doesn't feel like it was nearly 8 years ago already. Still breaks my heart but you just keep on trucking. You are so so so freaking inspiring dude. Literally one of the most badass people I've ever seen. I hope one day to be half as tough and positive as you are

    I'm sorry that I haven't been watching your videos much anymore. I work lots now that as I have grown. But I have to say this I really relate to you too guys not much physically but mentally suffer with schizophrenia, so I know what you guys are going through is very tough for you guys, but you guys work hard everyday to get where you want to be. same as for me, I have to think positive and find different mood strategies to get better for myself to think better and be stronger everyday as I go but as for you it's a very different because you guys a physically hurt no offense I'm mentally hurt so I feel like I can relate a lil bit I do take my medication daily to prevent having episodes or whatever it is maybe, feeling sick but it's about what we've become in the past few years we got this no matter what comes our way keep up the good work guys. We are fuckin troopers don't let them get us down. Here's a lil saying my step dad says don't let the small shit bug you, love you guys n keep bmxing I also have one too !

    You guys should look into Matt Gillman's Blind Bike Trials and see the direction he has gone with being blind and returning to trials. The two of you have similar hurdles and are looking beyond those brilliantly! Keep it going and stay strong.

    I’m cleaning my UA-cam and keeping this subscription. The reason: brain injury. I’ve had one and that’s why I subscribed, I ride bikes, have a couple bmx. Mostly mountain and motorcycles that run on GAS. Recovering myself when I seen Scotty and his injuries, he was an inspiration to me.

    I see a good friendship coming out of this.... Scotty should put together a Broken BMX crew. I know I'd try to throw my name in the hat because I have nerve damage from lymphedema that caused me to not be able to ride anymore.... I'm not paralyzed but I was for 3 years when I had stage 4 lymphedema in both legs and I couldn't walk so I know exactly how this feels. Even to this day I still have trouble walking because my toes will drag because my ankles are weird and I'll trip.... Not a fun situation to have to look at your feet when you walk so you don't fall. 😅
