Anthony Murray is a professional freestyle motocross athlete and a motocross social media influencer brought on by his notoriety in the MX world.
Anthony is currently residing in Stillwater, OK but learned how to ride at an early age behind the home he grew up in, in the hills of Canon City, CO. Early in his career Mr. Murray competed internationally in 5 different countries leading up to a big win at the XPilots comp by Monster Energy which thrust him into a top competitor spot in the sport of Motocross. After receiving his first dirt bike at 11 years old, Anthony then spent most of his free time riding and experimenting with his new toy. His back yard was basically an oasis of rocks, dirt, and trails that helped him gain mad skills in a short period of time. After a while, learning to take jumps and fly through the air with little effort is when his passion for dirt biking really took off. This led him to attend the Dew Tour as a spectator which then solidified his dream to become a professional freestyle rider. Putting in some time on his bike, it only took him 2-years to successfully land his first backflip on dirt after visiting the Dew Tour. The excitement from that magical flip at age 16 set the catalyst for his future career that we see now. Moving to California soon after his high school graduation with nothing more than a suitcase, and a pickup that hauled his dirt bike he was ready. Although many obstacles along the way presented themselves, his passion and determination saw him through. To this day he continues to push himself as well as the sport, constantly evolving and getting better at freestyle riding. He is one of the best freestylers in the industry to this day.
Anthony has also appeared in Transworld Motocross Magazine and has been featured on xgames.espn.com, vitalmx.com, and motocross.transworld.net. Riding is his life and he takes it very seriously.
