SlopeStyle Benefit Event:

Professional BMX dirt jumper and three-time US gold medalist, STEPHEN MURRAY, needs our help.

On Friday, June 22, 2007 Stephen attempted a double back flip during the dirt finals at the AST Dew Tour in Baltimore, MD. That attempt ended with a horrific fall that caused devastating injuries to his spinal column, which have left him paralyzed from the chest down.

Unlike other professional sports, BMX does not provide financial assistance to its injured athletes. At times like these we, as Extreme Sports athletes, must join together and support one of our own Stephen Murray.

Stephen is only 27 years of age. He has a wife and two young children for who he was the sole financial provider.
