    Fuck off Scotty making a bloody 31 year old man cry in his bedroom haha Grew up watching you ride, and have followed your youtube since day one. You're story, persistance and outlook on life is amazing. Road to the backflip for the 10 year mark you got this!

      Been waiting for that backflip and for him to mention it again. I remember several years ago he said he wanted to send it one day but at this point idk if it's still in the cards. He's gained a lot of weight and his progress when it comes to mobility hasn't seemed to improve over the past few years.

    Had a ton of respect for Scotty’s riding before the wreck but his content now and just overall positivity with trying to make everyone around succeed shows how special of a person Scotty is. As a fellow person with a spinal cord injury, I was horrified to hear about his crash and have religiously watched every single video since then. Scotty is truly a phenomenal human and is just such a nice, caring person ❤

  • @Thetubbygurnard

    I'm 52 and was there when BMX first emerged in the 80s and have loved the life style ever since, I have been ill for awhile now but your videos have helped me to remember those days when we were learning the bunny hop and making our own jumps and doing a pancake was a big thing can't believe how it has evolved. There were no computers back then we lived outside and rode all the time. Thank you Scotty because i have learnt so much about BMX and the new riders and tricks from your UA-cam channel.

    Scotty's channel is a great watch still. He pumps out great content showcasing lesser known riders, covering big competitions, Challenging riders to do whacky tasks and games, showing his continued progression in recovery and also highlighting his Brother Matty who is also an excellent BMX rider in several disciplines.
    The one thing I felt was missing from this short documentary is his brother Matty. The two are an incredible team and make for the most supportive pair of brothers I have ever seen.
    If you aren't watching the Scotty Cranmer channel you are missing out. Well worth a sub and also keeping up with the many and varied videos he uploads on a regular basis.

    I've had the pleasure of meeting Scotty a few times pre-accident, and twice post accident. I have to say - while it sucks horribly that he has gone through what he has, post-accident Scotty is still doing amazing things for BMX. He is so kind and genuine when you meet him. If you get the chance - hug this legend's neck and tell him how much you appreciate him for not letting this accident put him in a hole like it would have for so many of us.

    I was watching Scotty go through his accident while I was going through 3 years of lymphedema that nearly took both legs and now I'm actually back riding again, not anywhere near the level I was but I'm just glad to be able to walk again.... Also having Scotty still involved in BMX is a dream come true. He may not be riding in the contests like he was but having him commenting/narrating runs is awesome because he actually knows all the tricks and how hard they are so his commentary is vital to BMX riders, especially those who are learning specific tricks.... That's like the perfect job for anyone who got injured period, I'd love to have Tony Hawk doing commentary on skateboarding contests and I wish Dave Mirra would still be around running a park and teaching kids to ride BMX or doing commentary on BMX events. Keep up the great work Scotty, you're proving to the world that just because someone is down, does not mean they are out permanently.... 😁👍❤️

    Thank's for everything you have done and continue to do for the BMX world. Your channel has got me back into following BMX, the sport I loved so much when I was growing up. Your channel has helped me with my own struggles in life. I'm based in the UK, but I hope to make it to the USA again and check out some Supercross races, if I see you there, ill definitely be saying hello and thanking you in person. Keep up the good work Scotty!

    @farner01 10 місяців тому +1

    I luckily found his channel at the beginning and I remember the day he let everyone know about the accident. It felt like one of my best friends got hurt, I was bummed for him and couldn't watch a lot of the first recovery videos, I will go back and watch them one day but I've been hurt to many times from bikes and I don't like it. Super proud of this guy for what he's been able to accomplish in his young life.

  • @kaylibtaunton2029
    @kaylibtaunton2029 9 місяців тому

    Scotty is such an inspiration to the sport and the community. I remember still finding his videos before the accident. And it’s such a stepping stone. Anytime he releases a video of him riding I’m watching it cause it’s a milestone and this man pushes the limits every time he gets on that bike. Scotty Cranmer you are an inspiration to the sport but also the people. And for that we are all truly greatful

  • @TrevorLazar
    @TrevorLazar 10 місяців тому

    I broke my back and was millimetres away from a completely severing my spinal cord. I was already a big fan of Scotty and his channel at that point but Scotty you and your recovery videos got me through laying in that hospital bed and my own recovery. I figured I’m not nearly as hurt as Scotty and if he can ride again I can beat this too. 2 months after my surgery and my 2 rods and 10 screws I was able to get back on my bike and ride it around the block. Thank you for being such an inspiration. You have touched more people’s lives than you ever will know! Absolute legend

    The amount of inspiration and motivation Scotty gave me is insane. So many times I've hit a wall in my life where I just wanted to give up, but then remembered "If Scotty was able to go from paralyzed to being able to ride better than 99% of people I know, I am fucking doing this whatever it costs."
    Big ups to Scotty and also his sponsors who stuck with him!

    Hell yeah Scotty. I was there before your accident and now after your accident. I didn't go anywhere. I prayed every single day for you to get back on your feet and riding again. And look at you no. Your back on your feet and riding not like before but damnit you're riding. Your an inspiration to everyone who loves and is paralyzed to never let them tell you you can't. Bc that's what they did to you and you said I can and I will. Mad respect and love to you and your family.

One of if not the most positive and amazing individuals. Truly inspirational

  • @chrisbarnes22
    @chrisbarnes22 10 місяців тому

    Been a huge Scotty fan since his Sentenced to Life section. I think it was that and then those short Felt edits he'd drop just ridiculous stuff in them, then the Rock N Roll Road Fools DVDs. Probably the most talented person to touch a bike, was leagues ahead of the time with his bike control. Could do it all and make it look good. Was absolutely devastating when we almost lost Dave and Scotty in the same year. Just glad to see he's doing well and props to his sponsors for sticking by him.

    As part of the 80s Generation/First Generation BMX rider of Jamaica, at mid fifty years old, with old man restrictions for riding since around six years ago, Scotty is an inspiration... I see his ongoing passion and influence in BMX, and acceptance of what is, via his journey. This is admirably humbling.

    Those early years he was in the X games were always wild, that's whn I found scotty and he became my favorite rider. Then finding his UA-cam when it was made I couldn't believe you could see his riding damn near every day. I just always wished things would've gotten better with big boy.

    Seeing the last part about the guy having an injury about the same time. Me too. No where as serious, but airlifted with head injuries. Finding Scotty's channel sure helped me get back to reality and back on my bike.

    If you care to pause at exactly 1:39 you can see a man who is astounded by the sheer acceptance of what he has just accomplished.
    Just go back 10 seconds and put it on 0.5x - you can actually watch it sink in.
    Scotty is one of the G.O.A.Ts. 🤘
