Scotty Cranmer

Scotty Cranmer (born January 11, 1987) is an American BMX rider. He is tied with Dave Mirra for the most X Games BMX Park medals with nine, three each in gold, silver and bronze over fourteen appearances. He attended Jackson Memorial High School. Nicknamed "the Bulldozer", he is sponsored by Vans Shoes, Hyper Bike Co., Fox Clothing, Pro-tec Helmets, Monster Energy and Snafu. He owns a bike shop in Howell, NJ called SC Action Sports Bicycle Shop. He is also widely known for having a YouTube channel under the name Scotty Cranmer in which he makes videos with his friends riding skateparks, driving cars, and playing games while riding their bikes. His younger brother Matty is a regular guest on the channel. As of June 2021, the channel has accumulated over 1.71 million subscribers and 500 million total views since releasing his first video in September 2015.

Injury
On October 12, 2016, during a session, Cranmer suffered a spinal cord injury. He rolled into a hole in the ground after landing a trick on his bike, flipping over and landing on his head. Even though he was wearing a helmet, he still injured his head and some of his vertebrae.

He made a partial recovery and has been largely able-bodied since, but as of 2023 he is still partially paralyzed. While he can do some rudimentary tricks on a BMX bike and regularly rides a bike for leisure and exercise, he no longer rides BMX competitively.

However, Cranmer has kept his career in BMX going through other means. He still runs SC Action Sports, releases videos regularly on his YouTube channel, mentors younger riders, and has been a commentator in numerous large-scale BMX events, including the X Games.
