- Over 20 years ago all of my idols came to my skatepark on a BMX tour and I got to meet my hero the legendary BMX rider, Dave Mirra! I found the video and decided to do a reaction video with you all to explain just how amazing the day real was for me. I call this day the best moment of my BMX life as a fan which was only two short years before I competed professionally against Dave Mirra!

Just know Scotty, you're on that level of legendary too man.
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.
Facts!
I remember when I discovered Scotty, I couldn’t comprehend how insane he is
I agree 100 percent.
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!
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.
Mirra was on a level all his own
Mirra was awesome
I would love to see more old videos like this,. R.I.P. Dave Mirra we love and miss you.
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.
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!
I miss the days of Dave Mirra, Jay Miron, and DMC. So much progression was made during that era.
Definitely the golden era, between your park, and the old south toms river park.. best times.
We will miss him and that place - RIP
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...
I'm just grateful Scotty did not die from his accident 🙏❤☝
Hi Scotty Cranmer
Man I miss those crowds! BMX had a crazy energy about it then and its so hard to describe...
I'm from the same era as Scotty and it brings back amazing memories and overall good feelings.
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.
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.
This takes me back, those were such good times back then for BMX.
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!
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
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.
I could watch Scotty reacting/narrating clips all day
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
Johnny Lazz 🙌🏻
Legends never die. RIP Mirra. You are that guy for a whole new generation of kids.
I want to send a special rip out to Randy Macho Man Savage..he was a true legend in wrestling and such a huge personality. Really a one of a kind dude..
Have you ever met a cocaine addict IRL?
@@samjones8114 1st..who cares what he did in his personal life..2nd you do know probably 90% of anyone you like in hollywood "movies,tv,music,sports,etc" is likely a cokehead? Along with other drugs/pills/alcohol..So what? dont take away their greatness in their fields ..
Buddy I was hinting that EVERY cocaine addict acts that way lol 😂
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
RIP Dave. He lived down the street from me in Greenville and was such an awesome neighbor to have while in college!
As a kid there was 2 things I waited for: Christmas and seeing Dave Mirra compete in the X-Games.
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.
Mirra always landed on the transition perfectly smooth
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.
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!!
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.
THE GOAT! His games made my life as a child... Endless creative fun
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
And also traveling from my home in Ct to NJ to go ride the incline club. Best memories of my life
Eddie Fiola still rides a bike 😜
Scotty is the G.O.A.T But Mirra was the Miracle Man R.I.P. DAVE 😭😭😭😭
I think Scotty is amazing, I think Hoffman (Mat, not Ricky )holds that title. Comparing riders from different era's is hard though.
@@jeremybaker5444 But Scotty rode in x games and competitions against Mirra and Nyquist....
@@lawrwncemitchell9955 and Hoffman had Miron and Mirra as riders even though they both got famous elsewhere after. I say no Matt Hoffman BMX takes a lot longer to progress.
@@jeremybaker5444 Scotty was good enough to beat them all 💯
Scott is so awesome he knows he could out shred anyone of those guys but still gives them their credit
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.
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.
Literally the best era in BMX. Glad I was able to be a part of that.
Scotty always reminded me of a lil Mirra! Rip Dave Mirra the legend 🙏🏻
Darden’s wall ride to whip was so perfect.
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. ;-)
Hey Scotty!, I produced this series for ESPN and still have all of the footage! We were under extremely tight turnaround schedules for this show which meant that we had to build the show as quick as possible while maintaining quality. Super stressful. Glad you revisited it!
Thanks for sharing Scotty. Means a lot to see these guys ride again. People forget how much of a legend Nyquist is
I remember when this came out, I was in high school…. Crazy, time flies.
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.
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.
Dude you are one of the greats just like Dave Mirra
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.
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
So dope I wish there were more cameras back in the day. Imagine all that seen by just the people around at the time of first tricks or great skatepark runs
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!
the vibes I get from this video will never change, I can almost smell the air outside LOL... Good times, good times.. wish we could go back man
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.
I will never forget that. I helped bring drinks in and I was able to stand on the ramps. I remember Colin McKay tailwhip ice picked in front me. I was like 15.
Hell yeah I was by the big box near the door on the side haha miss this shit.
Middle school days
I still have the white Dave mirra shirt and those slim Jim noise makers. I wish I put the shirt in a frame years ago!!
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.
Im with you 100% on that! Riding is just not like it was in the early 2000s.
@@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.
@@neonnerd1364 Well said and I agree. Not taking away from the talent and skill of today's riders they are definitely amazing but its just too much! I think style and flow is equally important and I'll take a 3 invert over a triple whip any day!
@@robwagner4615 100% agreed.
Miss that setup with the vert wall
I would have loved to see Dave, Scotty, and Rwilly together.. that would have been amazing. I really hope you're still riding as much as you can Scotty.
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
Absolutely legendary damn Dave is a missed man love to nyquist and cranmers aswell y’all the top dawgs hands down
Epic video Scotty! killer content and so cool to relive the glory days along with you.
PS - If anyone can pay homage to Nyquist and pull off his no-footed can-can nothing it would be your lil brother Matty! Just sayin'
Love this. Of all the setups at The Incline Club, this one was my favorite. Those were the best years for sure.
Wow Scotty. Once again thank you for sharing a awesome memory with us. Salute. Please keep pushing!!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Scott Cranmer.
Honor, Respect. 💚👍✌️
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..
That day was my introduction to BMX
Changed my life forever bro thanks to you and your family for having that park and hosting the event
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 RUclips. 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 🙏
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
Miss the incline club so much so many good memories there! Glad I was able to experience it growing up! :)
And it’s cool to me to think that I’ve stepped in the same building as greats such as Dave mirra, Ryan nyquist, and you. I’ll never forget the amazing times I️ had at the incline club
WOW thanks for sharing, thanks Mr. Mike for the video ! this is EPIC! definitely a golden era of BMX
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.
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.
So blessed to have been there!!
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
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
It's crazy when i hear your stories. We are the same age. You were watching these riders live...I was watching these riders on VHS. Same riders and tricks. Just on the other side of the world. Epic!
I was so sad i missed that event… still am… that was prime time in life wish we could all go back in bmx time together
I remember watching this on tv way back… wild to rewatch it and just think about how fun and different BMX was back then.
Really enjoyed reminiscing with you. Thanks for sharing, Scotty!
That clip where we see scotty fouf…really shows how much bike control he has. No body really rides like scotty. Its legendary…GOAT status imo…
I remember playing Dave mirra freestyle bmx on ps1, first game I ever finished.
So much inspiration in this video. Keep it going and don't let your dreams disappear.
I remember seeing Dave Mirra at Fise he had so much charisma that when he was looking at the whole crowd you would feel like he was looking only at you pretty crazy feeling. RIP the GOAT. Even if someone in the future end up winning 3 olympics medals and 20 xgames gold it would never be bigger than the impact Dave Mirra had on bmx. Never. he was bmx.
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
Thank you for sharing the footage scotty, I hadn’t seen it before. 🔥🙌🏻
thanks for taking me down memory lane. Heros
I absolutely loved this man..... great time to be alive
Macho Man at incline club is amazing. Great content would love to see more watch alongs like this
Saludos desde Guatemala. Dude thanks for sharing this with us. Really enjoyed going thru memory lane with you. What a treat. ; ]
Awesome vid back wen bikes were heavy an 33t sprockets love it
I wish I could have been able to go to Woodward when I was younger and meet all of the pro riders but I got severe lymphedema and couldn't walk for a few years and I never really bounced back from it.... It caused severe muscle problems in my legs and I can't ride like I used to, so I missed my chance to have that experience but I'm glad you did and you recorded some it too. Thanks for sharing.... 😁
YES I LOVE THE REACTIONS!!! Scotty Can you please react to your props?! There were really good tricks and tech ones!! If you want!
2 legends
Just so dope!! I so wish,Dave got the help he needed to cope with his depression. Just like OM Scott from PK. Dying alone homeless,and hooked on drugs.
I Fufanued the Railing on top of the sub box 3 times along with Chris Larson and of course Scotty did it a number of times. Biggest Fuf I ever did was at Roots 2003 I fufed the Wallride it was epic and the pinnacle of my riding. I'll never forget all the amazing times with all the amazing people I met at the Incline Club. Best Skatepark EVER! And that first setup they had was by far my favorite. The wallride in the street course was absolutely perfect 👌
I remember I was 13 when this tour came out on tv..I remember the slim Jim factory, macho man, while what a great memory.. and i also remember I had a nirve bike which I had never heard of but got it for my birthday bc it had pegs. I remember becoming a huge fan of Stephen Murray bc he rode for nirve at the time. Such good years man, I LOVE video.
You know you are Big Time when you are in the same room as The Macho Man and people are going crazy for you, not the Madness. RIP Dave & Macho Man.
who remembers how heavy the bikes were back then and amazed with all they could do back them. all from back then are legends in bmx. and still want to see Matt call out DMC for a front brake challenge
I still love my 97 Dyno Slammer over todays bikes ☝
@@lawrwncemitchell9955 I still have my 2000 Volume Compton frame. It's about 45 maybe 50 pounds of bike after I built it back then. But dam it was a tank
Wow this is as legendary as it gets.
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.
Thanks for sharing that video, Scotty, loved it
two legends of the sport
Wish I was able to see the incline club before it was taken apart. Never been there but I feel like it’s a part of me. Seen it in so many videos over the years and gave me a strange connection to it.
That's a serious bit of nostalgia Scotty. Totally awesome. 😎
