Stephen Murray | Pass The Bucket | VANS

Originally published on Jun 9, 2011 - June 22, 2007 marked a day that the Action Sports world will remember for a lifetime.

A day that has forever changed the life of professional BMX rider & three time U.S. Gold Medalist, Stephen Murray.
In the midst of doing a double back flip, Stephen Murray crashed while competing in the BMX Dirt Finals at the Dew Actions Sports Tour, in Baltimore, Maryland.
It was quoted as being "one of the worst crashes seen in BMX"
and one that would ultimately be career ending for this incredibly
talented, 27 year old athlete.
Fully paralyzed, Stephen now lives a different reality, but see's it as a platform to help others.
Through his "Stay Strong" foundation and missioner determination, Stephen surprisingly finds a powerful way to pass the bucket.
