Stephen Murray injured.

Total Recall · June 2007

"On Friday June 22nd at the AST Dew Tour BMX Dirt Finals in Baltimore, MD, Stephen Murray took a horrific fall on the final set of the dirt section while sending a double back flip. Stephen has received career ending injuries to his spinal cord and vertebrae."
Apparentely he has no feeling below the waist. Dunno if any of you have heard about it but i think it's pretty bad.

Alex does this cute thing where he squeaks if you tickle him behind your ear.

Or is that my cat? Meh, both irritate me.

<blockquote id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">"Hi everyone,
First of all thanks for all your support, it really has been unbelievable.

We have been aware of various rumors floating around and so I am going to update everyone as often as possible via bmx talk as Stephen's condition changes constantly. This way you know the facts as we know them.

So, here is today's.

Firstly, he has suffered a very serious spinal injury. He has crushed his 3,4 and 5th cervical vertebrae and consequently suffered some damage to his spinal chord. He had a 7-hour operation on Saturday to stabilize the chord and relieve some pressure. The front of his vertebrae were shattered and has been replaced.

Following a day of rest (Sunday), he today goes in for a further 7-hour surgery to repair the back of his 3,4 and 5 vertebrae. This should allow some of the swelling to go down.

To let you know how things change, on Saturday we were told he had no movement below his neck. Following Saturday's surgery, we were all surprised when he shrugged his shoulders and now has some sensation on his upper left side of the body. This was really encouraging.

He is on a ventilator and therefore isn't able to talk but communication is possible. He is aware of his condition and is coping better than all of us. Don't forget how strong he is!

On Friday we are expecting the ventilator to come out of his mouth and inserted in his neck which should make communication better, and him more comfortable.

He is in surgery now so the next update maybe tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your support, its unbelievable and a great comfort to us all.

Martin, Cynthia, Jeff, Melissa, Seth and Mason"

it's terrible, british rider making it huge. Although it's easy to say "oh he'll pull through" it is doubtful.. Terrible shame.

Damn.

Stuff like that realy puts things into perspective.

I guess serious injuries like that are pretty unavoidable when you're at the top of your game, but i'll say it anyway for the benefit of the newer/younger riders on here....

If you're thinking of doing silly/dangerous/edgey stuff, make sure you have a decent pisspot, and consider buying a pressure suit.

I'm pretty ambivalent towards god etc, i think i'll probably make the effort next time i ride past a church.
