4. Professional BMX rider Scotty Cranmer
was shooting a film session with his
Monster Energy team mates in Las Vegas
Nevada on the evening of October 12th and
caught his front wheel in a hole that cata-
pulted him into a face plant without time to
get his hands in front of him.
Suffering several facial fractures, cerebral
hemorrhage and damage to his C4 and C5
vertebrae Road 2 Recovery jumped into
action less than an hour after his accident.
Currently we have assisted his Dad and wife
with travel to be by his side.
R2R is working with local doctors and other
specialists to insure Scotty gets the best
possible care at this time. Multiple surgeries
are in his future and the past few hours has
resulted in the doctors calling him stable
and strong for surgery on his vertebrae. We
are wishing Scotty and his family the best
and have set up this page on our website to
keep people informed.
“Road 2 Recovery has been incredibly
helpful in this situation. They are several
steps ahead on what we need to do to
help Scotty. This would be an even more
difficult time without them. Thankfully
things are a world of difference since
yesterday and we are pleased with his
progress. If you wish to help Scotty we
ask that you donate to Road 2 Recovery
at this time” Scott Cranmer. (Scotty’s
Dad)
What’s VANS doing
Vans is also paying for housing for his fam-
ily while they are in Las Vegas for Scottys
stay there. Vans has been very outspoken
about staying by Scottys side in his time
of need. Vans wants to provide a constant
stream of information to fans. They want
fans to continue to send positive feedback
to Scotty showing him that everyone is
one his side. Vans is staying positive and
know that Scotty will be back on his bike
in no time.
Earlier today as doctors did their rounds
they informed us that the brain hemor-
rhage is healing well on it’s own and will
not require surgery. R2R is in the hospital
with Scotty’s family and we just got this
update as Scotty was transferred from the
operating room to recovery. The doctor
came out and said everything went well
regarding stabilizing his spine. The surgeon
clarified the injury and said that he has a
C4 INCOMPLETE spinal cord contusion.
The surgeon also fused C4 and C5 to add
stability to the area of injury. Incomplete
meaning that he can work hard and fight
to fix the damage, but he’s not just going
to wake up okay. You guys know how
much fight and determination he has. He’s
got this.” Scotty’s wife, Lisa Cranmer.With
the help of R2R and the case workers of
the hospital applica-
tions are going out in
the morning to secure a
top level rehab facility
for his injuries. If all
goes well Scotty may be
transferred before the
end of next week. The
comments and sup-
port from his friends,
family and YouTube
Subscribers has been
overwhelmingly pos-
itive. We have shared
your comments with
Scotty and his family
and the support really
does make a difference.
R2R is also currently working with Scotty’s
insurance company to better understand
what they will and will not cover. We
know already they will not cover his medi-
cal transport to rehabilitation and that can
be anywhere from $15k to $45k.
