Matty Cranmer hasn't raced BMX in the past 10 years and he decided that it's time to come out of retirement and his race back just so happens to be a world championship qualifier!

We are sending mid-school BMX tricks from 30 years ago in honor of one of the pioneers of BMX dirt riding, Tim "Fuzzy" Hall!

We Did Our First Contest In Florida And It Was Awesome! We drove out to Jupiter Florida and got to ride A great skatepark and we brought Tony and Gabe with us and they rode their first contest and they had the best time ever! Matty Cranmer won a $5 bet by doing a crazy trick to flat!
We got our hands on an iconic bike from the 1980's, a Mongoose Supergoose! This bike is a re-issue that is built to the same exact spec as the 1984 "loop Tail" version and in this video we build the bike up and show this beautiful BMX bike off but we also take it to the skatepark and Matty Cranmer goes full flashback mode and tries his best to recreate some 80's style tricks and air!
We tried to combine virtual reality and BMX by using a phone on FaceTime and having one of our friends film Matty Cranmer as he is riding so it's almost as if he is seeing himself in third person or as if he is playing himself as a video game character!
Mark Webb just released his latest riding video title The Webbie Show 4 "Control Freak" and it reminded us just how talented of a BMX rider he still is! He has invented so many tech trick combinations and paved the way for so many other rider's careers around the world and in this video we hand picked clips from his past videos and breakdown all his amazing riding and explain why @TheWebbieShow is one of the best BMX riders in the world!
Matty Cranmer and the crew took a trip to a skatepark that they have never been to before that is located in York, PA and this place is awesome! So many options from street oriented plaza style to big concrete quarter pipes and it also has a huge metal full pipe that was built into the concrete skatepark! There was some talented local riders that we got to ride with too!
We had a watch party for the UCI BMX Freestyle World Cup Park Final from FISE Montpellier, France where the best BMX riders in the world battled it out against each other and the BMX riding was amazing to say the least!

We got a tour of one of the most well known BMX frame maker's shop and it was awesome! Mike Laird who is a former professional BMX rider has been building BMX frames since 2013 and has sent over 700 frames out to happy customers around the world!

It's the end of 2021 and Matty Cranmer just might have had the most progressive year out of every BMX rider!
