Perhaps go to one of these Town Meetings. Would make for an interesting video and I'm sure you could make a difference. Or find a way to make a public Scott Cranmer park for everyone :D
lol it'd make an interesting video for Scotty to do his homework on this Skateboard only issue, come fully prepared, and actually go to a townhall meeting and make a case. At the end of the day just complaining to random people isn't going to change anything, SOMEBODY has to step up to the plate and force change. Because honestly, most of the people who currently have the power to actually change the bylaws probably don't even know about this silly rule and would vote for it to change upon being informed about it.
It's actually really easy to get this law changed. All they would need to do is put up a sign that says, "This premise is NOT always monitored, use at your own risk" Then there would need to be a warning of all the bad things that can happen to you. As long as there's nothing extremely dangerous and out of the ordinary, the city isn't liable for anything.
I have NEVER seen a skatepark around where I live that can be "closed" What kind of bullshit is that? The ones where I live have lights so you can ride all night
I love how much Scotty goes into talking to the guy. I respect that he truly cares about the kids and wants them to be able to ride and be free. Totally dig it.
Finally someone who appreciates more then one sport. I like scootering and biking but everyone thinks scootering is stupid. I love watching you videos and your an inspiration to me. I love you!!!
That "mini horse stable" is for a thing called gaga ball it's a game kind of like dodgeball where the kids try hitting the other ID's legs with the ball
I've only seen indoor parks in Washington close, and some non-lit parks after like 10:00PM. I'm sure they do it for safety reasons. Remember, there are people in America that will sue you in to bankruptcy if they trip and fall on your driveway, they don't want people doing stupid shit and getting hurt and then trying to bankrupt the city. That's why it's probably only open when there is someone able to monitor what's going on. It's dumb, but it's also understandable.
I can't talk for America, since I'm from Australia, but nearly every single one of our skateparks aren't gated or manned. I have a feeling they close it due to vandals. Most of ours are tagged (lots of graffiti) and trashed, lots of littering etc.
Huge respect Scotty! So good to see a pro like yourself doing everything they can to help push their sport and make it more accepted to the mainstream in such a positive manner.
I always laugh so hard when he says "It's 2016 and they don't allow bikes in the park" It just reminds me of all the societal arguments going on hahhaha. I also just bought a BMX Bike because I am inspired by these guys. Always a thumbs up from me.
the wooden hexagon is called a ga ga ball pit, you hit a ball around with your hands and try to hit other people's legs. if the ball hits your legs you're out. it is a popular game at camp
I don't even ride bikes, I used to skate when I was younger, but I still watch your videos Scotty, and I think it's awesome how much you stand up for what you love, keep it up dude.
Hey Scotty, thanks to you I got myself a BMX 2 days ago and I'm already starting my journey of getting good. Thanks for intoducing me to such a fun sport!
I think the random worker guy made a good point. Town hall meetings. If you go prepared, in a few towns, maybe some changes can be made. If you went all out Scottie, you could be the ripple that makes a huge wave. Is it worth your time? Who knows. But the path is probably there. Anyways, great content, as usual. Keep up the good work.
Scotty, you're the biggest inspiration for me and my friend to progress. we just started biking about 3 months ago after we started watching your videos. you should come to Wilmington and Newark Delaware, there's 4 or 5 parks within 20 minutes of each other, only one costs money and the rest are free and open every day, no rules against bikes. you should come down to Delaware and ride sometime!!!
Seriously though I just gotta say big boy is my idol idk why but he inspired me to get out and start to ride I've only just begun but because of that I've loss 10 pounds in three days so thank you big boy for inspiring me I currently weigh 210 and three days ago I weighed 220 I am 5'11 and made of fat but hopefully that will change keep up the good work bigboy just stop landing on your back or you'll actually break your it.... Spinal.
Calm down there sparky. In fact not all skate parks are that expensive. An as savvy and intelligent as Scotty is, that man could easily find creative ways to have skate parks funded for the community to use. You should go to school and take some business classes, might learn a thing or two on how money and business works my friend. Cheers and thanks for the reply.
Better yet BMX parks. I mean granted you already have the awesome Incline Club, but its a damn shame that the local parks are always closed or don't allow BMX
Growing up, my town had two skate parks, both skate boards only. For the better part of a decade we would run from cops, sometimes twice a day. They told us to go to city council meetings, so we did. After going to meetings and many filed complaints to the parks & rec department, we learned that the the reason was they couldn't put a cap on the limit one could sue the city for because it's a bike. Jim Cielencki came to town and yelled over a crowd of groms "don't believe that shit!". One day the mayor showed up to invite us to a workshop and a year later we had a new 1.1 million dollar, bikes only concrete park! Now skaters and bikers use the three parks and the city has turned a blind eye. Thanks for the videos, Scotty!
Hey Scotty, I can see the pros and cons of allowing bikes into skateparks. As a skateboarder bikes follow different lines, you have much more metal around you and a bikes pegs have caused so many injuries to skateboarders over the years. Whilst I agree that there needs to be more skateparks for bikes sometimes having two different sports using the same facility at the one time can be a recipe for disaster. Snowboarders v Skiers is a similar thing as we all share the one mountain but they way we use it is different.
Go to a town meeting, shoot video at the meeting, show other riders out there how to create change which would allow bikes and scooters into parks. Would be an inspiring episode for sure \^^/
The little arena looking thing y'all passed, is called a ga-ga ball ring. Ga-ga ball is a very fun game in which you hit the ball with your hand and it must hit another players foot or shine area to get them out. But if you hit it above said area, you are out. Very fun game.
The skatepark near me has a box which has a button on it that we can turn the lights on for half hour at a time, there's no fences either so you can be there for however long you want
from what ive heard and researched (im from ireland i was just curious about the rule) its to do with warranty on the ramps etc they are insured for skateboarders so if a skateboarder breaks it, its cheaper or free to get fixed but if a bike breaks it, it voids the warranty
Hey Scotty, I believe its the bureaucracy involved with the liability insurance companies that their (the township) laws require for places such as skateparks. I believe that is why some county's/towns/townships/cities have different laws/rules regarding what these designated areas can and can't be used for. In my city, bikes aren't allowed in the public skatepark but if you go to the next town they don't have that same limitation of usage.
Hey scotty... Down in Houston when they built a huge skate park that only let skateboarders in we had a peaceful protest. Now the city of Houston is building a huge park right next to the skate park for BMX and scooters only!!! I hope you can give this a shout out in one of your videos.
I'll start by saying that I can't in no way whatsovever confirm that, but I searched forums and people seemed to think that bmx pegs "destroy" the coping and the modules with the pegs when they crash. Personnaly I can't see it being more destructive than grinding with trucks, but is that really a thing?
Scotty I'm so confused with ur r35 I thought it was grey then i didn't see it in your videos for a while Now it's a blue one? Did you get it painted or get a new one?
We have the same problem at my local parks. Skate boards ok, roller blades ok, even scooters are ok.....but no bikes! We also have a bad lack in mountain bike parks, but an abundance of places to have them. Yeah we have trails, but that's not the type of riding I want. I watch Seth's Bike Hacks, and I envy him with the MTB Park he gets to ride!
Thanks so much Scotty for finding out why they don't let bikes in there. I can't go to a skatepark a lot because there are none close by except for that one but they don't let bikes in there.
I think the reason why most places don't allow bikes to ride is because of the finance part of it. I think bikes are more prone to break ramps because of the force behind it. I really wish more parks let in bikes so the progression of the sport can continue. i think skateparks are a big stepping stone in the creativity of the craft. hopefully freehold park and parks like it will open the door up for bikes one day!
Dude nailed it though, go to the city council meetings! We got a 1/4 million dollar concrete park built in our town. Lots of meetings but when the number of people showing up asking increases they tend to pay attention.
That's so funny man haha!!! The burnout was awesome!!! Lol. I think big boy had a better chance of burning through his shoes lol. Why does big boy ride break less? He doesn't do bar spins really, and he prob needs breaks more that anyone else lol
mini horse stable at 1:42 is a gaga ball pit. basically picture like a volleyball in the middle, a ring of people lining the perimeter of the pit. you can only touch the ball with your upper body (hit it w/ your hands) and if it touches below your knee you are out
That little song Scotty made when big boy was making up words. I was dying 😅😅
you aren't the only one, I can't tell you how many times I replayed it 😂
hahahahahahaha yep same!! lol
I watched it about 20 times
i replayed it 20 times aswell
Same
Perhaps go to one of these Town Meetings. Would make for an interesting video and I'm sure you could make a difference. Or find a way to make a public Scott Cranmer park for everyone :D
Scotty Should built a outdoor skate park for everyone
hell yeah ..exactly what I was thinking
Good idea but money is tough for that kind of thing
+CarsonGaming true
you can get a grant from the city! @scottyCranmer
+Dylan Reed...haha right
lol it'd make an interesting video for Scotty to do his homework on this Skateboard only issue, come fully prepared, and actually go to a townhall meeting and make a case.

who else doesn't even bmx but still watches scotty?
I love how much Scotty goes into talking to the guy. I respect that he truly cares about the kids and wants them to be able to ride and be free. Totally dig it.
I don't even own a BMX but this channel got me thinkin about getting one :D
it got me one
how old are you guys
Same
this channel made me get one
Same
Finally someone who appreciates more then one sport. I like scootering and biking but everyone thinks scootering is stupid. I love watching you videos and your an inspiration to me. I love you!!!
woah this is what it's like being early
ikr

Hello again

You mean on time you dumbass.
been subbed since 30k, love this channel. Definitely my favourite channel on this site
That "mini horse stable" is for a thing called gaga ball it's a game kind of like dodgeball where the kids try hitting the other ID's legs with the ball
*kids legs
I was looking for this comment. I love playing gaga ball.
Big boy is just a true inspiration. He shows you that people in all shapes and sizes can do there dreams aswell. Respect to my big boy. 😝👊
Why the fuck do they close skateparks in America? I don't get it.
Where I live in Washington they don't
I've only seen indoor parks in Washington close, and some non-lit parks after like 10:00PM. I'm sure they do it for safety reasons. Remember, there are people in America that will sue you in to bankruptcy if they trip and fall on your driveway, they don't want people doing stupid shit and getting hurt and then trying to bankrupt the city.

+Dronez yeah I'm from Australia too bro :)
Huge respect Scotty! So good to see a pro like yourself doing everything they can to help push their sport and make it more accepted to the mainstream in such a positive manner.
1mil subs corey shaves his beard like if you agree so scotty sees this

The editing at 4:30 though hahaha

Was So funny

Hey Scotty, thanks to you I got myself a BMX 2 days ago and I'm already starting my journey of getting good. Thanks for intoducing me to such a fun sport!
This is why uk skateparks are better, no rules and open 24/7
some have a rule - no scooters
charlie macknight all the ones I know are rule free unless there indoor
I have a park like that here and it's awesome
No rules? Can you do pot inside?
most people do.
I'm really liking the longer episodes, keep up the great work.
4:35 Houdini by Foster the People, Scotty you know it is
I think the random worker guy made a good point. Town hall meetings. If you go prepared, in a few towns, maybe some changes can be made. If you went all out Scottie, you could be the ripple that makes a huge wave. Is it worth your time? Who knows. But the path is probably there. Anyways, great content, as usual. Keep up the good work.
Next episode: Dino nuggets sponsors Cory. 😂
Scotty, you're the biggest inspiration for me and my friend to progress. we just started biking about 3 months ago after we started watching your videos.
you should come to Wilmington and Newark Delaware, there's 4 or 5 parks within 20 minutes of each other, only one costs money and the rest are free and open every day, no rules against bikes. you should come down to Delaware and ride sometime!!!
It's a gaga ball pit
best game ever
only my favorite game ever
Yeah, I played it a church camp. It's awesome but you get hurt easily
+Colton Levi yeah it hurts your wrist
it's called island hopper in my state
Seriously though I just gotta say big boy is my idol idk why but he inspired me to get out and start to ride I've only just begun but because of that I've loss 10 pounds in three days so thank you big boy for inspiring me I currently weigh 210 and three days ago I weighed 220 I am 5'11 and made of fat but hopefully that will change keep up the good work bigboy just stop landing on your back or you'll actually break your it.... Spinal.
Big boy should get the orange tires on his bike
I want 20 minute videos from scotty everyday 😭
+Scotty Cranmer why dont you get in touch with fox and maybe make some merch ?
I like that idea
thanks
that bigboy talking jibberish remix made me crack up, that was really funny man, nice one
I feel like its time for you guys to start building some skate parks for the people.
Calm down there sparky. In fact not all skate parks are that expensive. An as savvy and intelligent as Scotty is, that man could easily find creative ways to have skate parks funded for the community to use.

+Dannydoesbmx you reply to so many comments with the stupidest, most ignorant things
Evan Thomas I believe that Dannydoesbmx is just a young teenager who feels he has it all figured out now. Its all good though. have a great day.
"I wanna thank Tyson.. Dyno nuggets"😂😂😂😂😂😂
I love scotty ❤
Big Boy: YEEEESSSS DUUUUUDE, YEEEEESSS
Every time a tricks landed. lol Like clockwork man.
That pit is called a Gaga pit

Scotty do that with the whole crew its gonna be fun😄😄😄
scotty I love how you understand and have respect for scooter riders...I have been beat up for riding a scooter lol
Hey Scotty,

Haha that big boy beat edit was rad Scotty!👍😂
Who else appreciates scottys long descriptions?
"and i can tuck into a cute little ball" XD
by far the funniest video content to date
when you did that manual backwards and forwards it made me cry. it was beautiful.
respect for keeping up these videos daily LOL must be hard as hell, and they aint bad quality either
Guys I don't know what to do... I want to either try skateboarding, BMX, or riding scooters. What are your suggestions?
Try them all. See which is for you
Aggressive inlines are pretty cool too! been riding a couple of years now and i still enjoy it :)
I skateboard but bmx is cool too
Cory wearing a Hood happy shirt! 😂😂😂👐
At 6:10 that is actually a gaga ball pit I think. I've never seen one at a park though. Usually it's like a summer/day camp kind of game.
Scotty is getting real and hes just like "Yea" for half of it
Lmao big boy was just spinning in circles trying to wear his tire down haha
I've never even seen a fenced in skatepark around where I live :')
You guys are awesome congratulations on bigboy learning the hang 5 im still learning to do it
Go to a town meeting, shoot video at the meeting, show other riders out there how to create change which would allow bikes and scooters into parks. Would be an inspiring episode for sure \^^/
had to laugh at Coreys Victory speech.
He's the man. Little one, but still ^^
I love how you guys will go to a closed skate park and session a bench right outside, I probably would've gone home
The little arena looking thing y'all passed, is called a ga-ga ball ring. Ga-ga ball is a very fun game in which you hit the ball with your hand and it must hit another players foot or shine area to get them out. But if you hit it above said area, you are out. Very fun game.
Big boy is getting sick! Keep it up man!
The skatepark near me has a box which has a button on it that we can turn the lights on for half hour at a time, there's no fences either so you can be there for however long you want
Scotty man, I love your crew. Funny fun guys.
That pit you saw at the park is called a gaga pit. Look up how to play it's a ton of fun! Like so he can see
It is fun
city worker seemed nice i also like his idea of going to the city meetings
Go to the town meeting!! Start the revolution Scott!!!!!!!
from what ive heard and researched (im from ireland i was just curious about the rule) its to do with warranty on the ramps etc they are insured for skateboarders so if a skateboarder breaks it, its cheaper or free to get fixed but if a bike breaks it, it voids the warranty
tyre blowout was a funny idea! no other chanel doing stuff like you guys....keep it upAWSOME
I love how Big Boy mumbled all that together and then said Definitely like he thought we new what he was talking about!
Hey Scotty, I believe its the bureaucracy involved with the liability insurance companies that their (the township) laws require for places such as skateparks. I believe that is why some county's/towns/townships/cities have different laws/rules regarding what these designated areas can and can't be used for. In my city, bikes aren't allowed in the public skatepark but if you go to the next town they don't have that same limitation of usage.
Scotty is so cool for talking to that guy about the skate only skatepark
I'm glad your back healed up quick
Hey scotty... Down in Houston when they built a huge skate park that only let skateboarders in we had a peaceful protest. Now the city of Houston is building a huge park right next to the skate park for BMX and scooters only!!! I hope you can give this a shout out in one of your videos.
they don't want them in a skate-park they want them on the street making trouble on the street, 6:56 that was amazing
I'll start by saying that I can't in no way whatsovever confirm that, but I searched forums and people seemed to think that bmx pegs "destroy" the coping and the modules with the pegs when they crash. Personnaly I can't see it being more destructive than grinding with trucks, but is that really a thing?

Thanks so much Scotty for finding out why they don't let bikes in there. I can't go to a skatepark a lot because there are none close by except for that one but they don't let bikes in there.
I thought I saw every video so stoked to come across one I haven't seen and get to see scotty riding so stoked
at the end big boy always makes the best smokes
I think the reason why most places don't allow bikes to ride is because of the finance part of it. I think bikes are more prone to break ramps because of the force behind it. I really wish more parks let in bikes so the progression of the sport can continue. i think skateparks are a big stepping stone in the creativity of the craft. hopefully freehold park and parks like it will open the door up for bikes one day!
Scotty, what are those bike rack suction cup things called and where can I get some?
Your videos make my
Day Scott
What size frame does Cory ride? Or what would you recommend for someone that is 5"6
Scotty you have the most beautiful and fluid manuals it's art when you do it
Scotty should use those orange tyres on his bike! They look sick
24k views in an hour wow well done scotty you've come so far so quick your growing so fast
Dude nailed it though, go to the city council meetings! We got a 1/4 million dollar concrete park built in our town. Lots of meetings but when the number of people showing up asking increases they tend to pay attention.
I have the same problem as asnowboarder. The local ski resort just started allowing snowboards a couple years ago. And several still don't.
4:30 I'm crying hahahahaha
Do you land cranks or pedals when you whip?
What coaster do big boy and matter use? Looking to get one but dont know anything about them
That's so funny man haha!!! The burnout was awesome!!! Lol. I think big boy had a better chance of burning through his shoes lol. Why does big boy ride break less? He doesn't do bar spins really, and he prob needs breaks more that anyone else lol
Scottyy you should go to those town meetings, i bet they would listen to a medal winning athlete!
Also make videos about the progress etc. could be intresting :p
I got you pegged Scotty. All puns intended.
You think you're better than people and you get off on it in subtle ways
I think you should show up at one of those meetings Scotty, that would make a cool story as well as video for your vlog.
If only we could get a group together saying "Harry Main and Scotty Cranmer BMX collab". that would be gold
Insane. You guys run into the most closed parks. I’ve nvr seen one closed before
mini horse stable at 1:42 is a gaga ball pit. basically picture like a volleyball in the middle, a ring of people lining the perimeter of the pit. you can only touch the ball with your upper body (hit it w/ your hands) and if it touches below your knee you are out
