STAY STRONG STEPHEN MURRAY

Stephen Murray is 29 years old and has one son who he lives with in Riverside, California.

Murray was a seven-time expert British champion and six-time UK National champion before the age of 16. During his professional BMX career, Murray was known for his double back flips, 360 back flips, and turndown back flips. He won the gold medal in BMX Dirt in the Summer 2001 X GamesĀ and won gold medals in BMX Dirt at the Gravity Games in back to back years (2001 and 2002). He was nominated for ESPNĀ ’BMX rider of the year’.

Recent updates say that he can now shrug his shoulders and raise his index finger and thumb.
