If you haven’t seen HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel featuring X Games BMX Gold Medallist Stephen Murray, I suggest you try to catch it. I just saw it and it’s an amazing in depth look at Stephen’s journey starting way back when he took the gold at the 2001 X Games. Sports reporter Mary Carillo talks with Stephen, his family, and close friends who have been there every step of his extraordinary rehabilitation process. Check out a few words from HBO below and the air times.
His family open up to Mary Carillo on a very personal level to discuss what the last 17 months has been like, and what struggles the family has been faced with. Friends & fellow riders, Heath Pinter, Luke Parslow & John Jennings discuss the absence of medical insurance and why it is so difficult to get coverage as an action sports athlete. What does the future hold for Stephen? How does his manage his household with 2 young sons? We visit the manufacture where he & Kimaire Hunt, have developed a “Stay Strong Apparel Line”. Stay Strong, a term once said to Stephen from fans and well wishers across the World, now becomes words to live by.
