THE DAY DAVE MIRRA CAME TO MY SKATEPARK!

[@IIChainsawII]

Just know Scotty, you're on that level of legendary too man.

[@aaronrosenberg8784]

I always considered him to be one of the greatest riders ever, still do. Injuries don't define greatness and the sheer will to just be able to walk again when everyone said he wouldn't just goes to show Scotty is inhuman.

[@JustinKapow]

Facts!

[@PhilGillisDoctor]

I remember when I discovered Scotty, I couldn’t comprehend how insane he is

[@danielheiss3299]

I agree 100 percent.

[@PunkNex]

No doubt, Scotty is up there too! I grew up watching Dave. And the crew from Aspire!. I remember thinking they were crazy until i found Scotty. You should give yourself more credit!

[@adamboyle3331]

Mirra actually had serious style. People forget that and think he was just a trick guy. He did tricks nobody else could do and made them look great.

[@heathenshaunt681]

Mirra was on a level all his own

[@biker944]

Mirra was awesome

[@alexandregionet4847]

I would love to see more old videos like this,. R.I.P. Dave Mirra we love and miss you.

[@Ben-tq6wr]

What Dave Mirra is to Scotty is what Scotty is to so many of us. Absolute inspiration on and off the bike, you are in the hall of fame Scott!

[@bmx135536]

Definitely the golden era, between your park, and the old south toms river park.. best times. We will miss him and that place - RIP

[@thisisty8872]

Scotty always reminded me of a lil Mirra! Rip Dave Mirra the legend 🙏🏻

[@joereadel]

Darden’s wall ride to whip was so perfect.

[@bradleysapanic9336]

Dave was definitely one of the greatest to ever ride BMX. What a legend he is and forever will be. Love to watch him ride when I was a kid.

[@frankietatas]

So glad to have been able to be a part of this skatepark and everything that involved it. This is a double RIP for me...

[@lawrwncemitchell9955]

I'm just grateful Scotty did not die from his accident 🙏❤☝

[@Oreo66153]

Hi Scotty Cranmer

[@lbalistreri]

This is amazing. I think Props Road Fools 14, including the incline club, was one of the most influential bmx videos for me when I was growing up.

[@OGSaber]

THE GOAT! His games made my life as a child... Endless creative fun

[@AdamOravetz]

Dave Mirra was such an inspiration to me as a kid. I remember him doing the double back flip and thinking that the bar is so high for talent. It’s fun that I can spend time with my own kids cultivating a love for BMX.

[@angleboxboi]

Honestly WOW!! This vid almost had all my all time heros in it , Ryan Nyquest , Dave Mira, Scotty Cranmer and of corse the macho man! Epic!

[@thehobbyjournal]

I'm from the same era as Scotty and it brings back amazing memories and overall good feelings.

[@dennisd4452]

I was 30 years old in '01 and out of bmx since the 80's. this was really cool to watch this and listen to your comments. thanks for sharing.

[@Gilman23]

It brings me back to the good old days, The heroes of my time riding Bmx. Watching this channel still keeps Bmx alive in my mind, Haven’t had a bike in 10 years at least, but still wanna get another to ride

[@Gilman23]

And also traveling from my home in Ct to NJ to go ride the incline club. Best memories of my life

[@lawrwncemitchell9955]

Eddie Fiola still rides a bike 😜

[@DaveStutts]

Before I even watch, thanks for uploading a Dave Mirra vid. He was my absolute hero. I rode his bikes, started calling myself Dave, and everything else because of him. I remember watching your hotel vid when he died. Killed me. love you scotty.

[@hopesanddreams256]

Scotty I was at the park that day and still have pictures I took on a disposable camera it’s a day I’ll never forget! I also remember seeing you trying 360 flips in the foam pit in shock because of how young you were.

[@DWSOutdoors]

Man I miss those crowds! BMX had a crazy energy about it then and its so hard to describe...

[@cyberlingbot3d896]

This takes me back, those were such good times back then for BMX.

[@bigbtb]

One of my most fond memories from that time was getting to ask Mirra a couple of questions in the days of MSN chat. They brought him in as a special guest and did a Q&A. What a great time for bmx!

[@BorisTheNovice]

Dude you are one of the greats just like Dave Mirra

[@dannyslea]

As a kid there was 2 things I waited for: Christmas and seeing Dave Mirra compete in the X-Games.

[@miscreint]

I miss the days of Dave Mirra, Jay Miron, and DMC. So much progression was made during that era.

[@deeredude]

Scotty is the reason I hung up my riding spurrs for BMX. You're a beast man and always will be. Back in the early last 2000's I knew I'd never be on that level. Pure talent at it's finest.

[@wildoafi3]

Thanks for sharing Scotty. Means a lot to see these guys ride again. People forget how much of a legend Nyquist is

[@doctaskunk]

Scotty would manual like a character in a video game where you do all the crazy stuff than nobody does because either it's nearly impossible or just to dangerous. Truly legendary man Scotty

[@canigetachannel]

Thank you, Mr. Scott Cranmer. Honor, Respect. 💚👍✌️

[@MrMiguella]

I had the good fortune to ride against a few of thee guys in the late 90s early 2000s when us Aussies took over dirt jumping, Cory Nastazio is one of the coolest dudes ever, always had time for the kids and loved putting on a show

[@rydog7920]

Mirra always landed on the transition perfectly smooth

[@polypolar]

WOW thanks for sharing, thanks Mr. Mike for the video ! this is EPIC! definitely a golden era of BMX

[@Cleve1andsWorld]

RIP Dave. He lived down the street from me in Greenville and was such an awesome neighbor to have while in college!

[@devorides2728]

Literally the first time I ever went to TIC and saw you riding and got to ride with you. You scotty yourself taught me how to 360 the second box

[@XvXMONSTERXvX]

RIP Dave Mirra, gone but not forgotten. I played his ps2 game dave mirras pro bmx too and it was the most fun I ever played growing up. That game made me attempt or just think about messing around on a bmx bike. I went to woodward several times for skateboarding and did attempt a foam pit back flip a few times for laughs or just to see if I could do it but I would of really have loved to have met Dave atleast once just to let him know how influential he was that a dead set only skateboarding skateboarder would pick up a bike just to mess around and try to recreate some tricks from his video game, hopefully, that would of made him laugh or have given him some entertainment

[@JohnDuthie]

I could watch Scotty reacting/narrating clips all day

[@ichmorales3457]

Saludos desde Guatemala. Dude thanks for sharing this with us. Really enjoyed going thru memory lane with you. What a treat. ; ]

[@sooty3000]

That's amazing man. I used to wish for a BMX reading Ride BMX magazine ~2002 n seeing all these guys ripping up in photos. Good times

[@biggabenne]

im getting chills seeing this footage again. BMX was my life and Dave Mirra was my idol 20 years ago. I didn't even realize this was the Incline Club that Scotty always refers to... WOW.

[@brfuzz5600]

Macho Man at incline club is amazing. Great content would love to see more watch alongs like this

[@djrabbit1]

Awesome vid back wen bikes were heavy an 33t sprockets love it

[@Joe_Lip]

Love this. Of all the setups at The Incline Club, this one was my favorite. Those were the best years for sure.

[@neonnerd1364]

Looking back to the Era that got me into BMX really takes me back. I miss when riding wasn't like playing a video game.

[@robwagner4615]

Im with you 100% on that! Riding is just not like it was in the early 2000s.

[@neonnerd1364]

@@robwagner4615 it's like button mashing on thps. Dave Mirra freestyle BMX was more realistic than today's real life riding lol. Don't get me wrong I'm not dogging on these modern riders it's just too much imo.

I remember 2009 dew tour I believe, going to school after seeing you ride Scott and the Cranmer brothers interview when Matt was maybe 15. Time truly flies. You were my idol the same as Mira was yours.

[@negligent666]

Just watching how much heft is in the tailwhips and how slow they come around will give these kids an idea how crazy this shit was on a 35-40lb bike

[@Dylanmehalcik]

So true. When I was young I rode a standard STA500, and an 02 Eastern Ramrodder they were tanks. I weighed all of like 100lbs and I learned how to muscle them around, Then the newer light bikes came out and I felt like I had to relearn it all lol. Now I'm 30 and fat 😂 oh how time flies.

[@shaunmilor]

I love getting scottys take on these old memory lane videos. 2001 I was in my last 3 golden years on a bmx bike where I was at my best before I left to pursue snowboarding Full time, which lasted until 2010 for me. I know what he meant by riding with your Idols and how they have a presence on a bike. I got invited to Ride at Randy Stumpfhauser's house a few times and even met Todd Lyons there. Years later snowboarding in Tahoe I'd get that same feeling with a few more Idols. Even crash their couches and ride with a few more guys I Idolized from video parts Andy Finch Chaz Guldemond . Nick visconti and I lived with a female pro that rode for rome snowboards Iris Lazzareschi whos little brother was Johnny Lazz frome Rome. They both still kill it on a snowboard

[@thisisty8872]

Johnny Lazz 🙌🏻

[@BCRandom69]

Legends never die. RIP Mirra. You are that guy for a whole new generation of kids.

[@timzeez525]

Rest In Peace DAVE MIRRA!!!! God bless to you too Scotty. To be honest sometimes I go back and watch incline videos from back in the day. Also please make longer videos..

[@danielheiss3299]

Man. I was there that day it was so fucking awesome. Meeting everyone including macho man haha. Super sick day that shit changed my life. Had Mirra sign my dc Dave Mirra shoes haha

[@oldmanflair]

So much inspiration in this video. Keep it going and don't let your dreams disappear.

[@KarlOtterman]

In my opinion, Scotty was also a trailblazer of bmx. I was 13 or 14 when he came into the scene, and he came in with a bang. I think it’s crazy that people new to the channel or new to bmx that watch these videos may not know how wild Scotty Cranmer was on a bmx bike. Scott you played a huge role in the progression of bmx, and even though I don’t ride anymore I still watch your videos every day. You were literally my idol growing up.

[@filmbandit6664]

Damn, I was there! A really unforgettable day. Your parents were always so unbelievably kind and hooked all us regulars up :) Glad you found the footage!!

[@easton.88]

[@samjones8114]

Buddy I was hinting that EVERY cocaine addict acts that way lol 😂

[@elliotjay2273]

Man I remember watching the Dave Mirra mega tour when it was on TV at the time. That tour inspired me so much and the riding in it was amazing. There was so much comedy in it too like, Dennis singing "hold me close on this ice pick" when Dave was trying to ice some messed up thing hahaha There was actually a section of street riding, where they turned up at this spot and built some make shift stuff out of pallets that were laying about, I think that might have subconsciously that inspired you with riding random stuff and the making the most out of what you have available videos. Definitely the golden age of BMX and I am so glad that I was part of the scene at the time. ;-)

[@BB6Teardrop]

Literally the best era in BMX. Glad I was able to be a part of that.

[@Jamie7ee]

Thank you for sharing the footage scotty, I hadn’t seen it before. 🔥🙌🏻

Dude I'm so happy you did this video. Brings back so many good memories. I couldn't believe they came to nj when I was young I couldn't stop bothering mymmom to go haha fucking awesome dude this skatepark played such a big role in my life growing up.

[@regicide88]

I've rewatched this several times trying to find myself. The lasting memory I have of the incline club was from that day when Nyquist transferred from the landing of the second box jump over to the landing of the big box jump. Miss that place.

[@dandymcgee]

I can't believe Dave Mirra got to ride at Scotty Cranmer's skatepark. What a lucky guy Dave was. j/k.. it's so awesome seeing Scotty awe-struck by the history in this video though. Must be such a nostalgia trip for him.

[@anthonydecker8925]

Wow Scotty. Once again thank you for sharing a awesome memory with us. Salute. Please keep pushing!!!!!

[@UnitNo.2]

This is awesome. My first BMX video was "Knucklebone How I wasted my summer" but my favorite was "Ride BMX Turbulence" Edwin Delerosa's part inspired my riding back then.

[@dalerardon1687]

I remember the first time I saw Dave ride in person. Even though I was fortunate enough to ride with pro level riders and was a part of a pretty cool indoor 'underground' skatepark, Dave just sent it so hard I couldn't Fing believe it. I am confident that without a young Scotty there to see that inspirational of a rider, he would not have achieved what he has.

[@fredhill2134]

Scott is so awesome he knows he could out shred anyone of those guys but still gives them their credit

[@superwalt2159]

The tour came to my park and it was everything Scotty says it was. I didn't get to see much of it that day as I was working but towards the end of the day one of the ESPN staff asked me to take ryan nyquist's bike out back so they could load it on the bus. I picked it up an of course out of sight had to hop on an do some pull up barspins. OMG those bars fly! heavy ass 40lb bike but the smoothest head tube bearings in the business.

Dave Mirra - He truly was the GOAT of BMX and always will be. The miracle boy was the reason I got into BMX.. I wish there were more videos of him on KZbin. From the XGames to Gravity Games Mirra was incredible to watch. Would love for his two games to be remastered with added riders like yourself Scotty and Daniel Dhers. RIP Dave 🙏

[@blastoMcNasto]

I remember being there for this and while everyone was outside getting their autographs after the event, I got to ride the box jumps with Nasty pretty much solo for what felt like forever. A 14 year old kid trading laps with his favorite rider. Stoked would have been an understatement. Definitely burned into my memory banks. Thanks for this and all your contributions to bmx
