Accident and recovery
In October 2016 Cranmer suffered an accident while riding his bike. He was shooting a film session with his Monster Energy teammates in Las Vegas on the evening of October 12th and caught his front wheel in a hole that catapulted him into a face plant without time to get his hands in front of him, causing him to suffer several facial fractures, cerebral hemorrhage and damage to his C4 and C5 vertebrae. Doctors initially did not expect that he would walk again. However, Cranmer has since managed to learn to walk and ride his bike again, although he is still recovering. Scotty had previously also broken his back while competing in the 2016 X Games.
