Pass The Bucket with Stephen Murray

more on http://offthewall.tv - 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.

My name is Percy and I am a flatlander. I watch this video every day and I can't

help but cry. It says so much about the power of the human mind to overcome

incredible adversity. Sometimes I think about not riding because of

the authority that I am up against when looking for a legal place

to practice my flatland. Sometimes the tickets become too much to pay,

and I think about quitting. Then I watch this video, and I know to reach

inside and dig deeper. I can ride, but Steve can't, thats y

[taylck]

When I first saw this video I had been struggling with a chronic illness for a year. I was living in a cheap hotel and so sick that I could barely get out of bed. I think this man's words played a part in saving my life. I started watching this video daily and telling myself to "dig deeper". I'm still sick but I got out of that hotel alive and I know that I will get better one day.
