MORE ON MURRAY

Murray Buchan 5190 Box 250 167Murray started skiing at the age of 8, beginning with race training before trying the jump at his local ski slope in Edinburgh. Since then he has never looked back and is always trying to jump further or higher than his previous jump. His first trick was a simple spread... then on 4 October 2003 he achieved a 1080 Salomon Quiksilver Big Air competition at the Midlothian Ski & Snowboard Centre, beating adult skiers and winning through to the Super final... most recently he won the Austrian Open Under 16 Category, beating skiers from all over Europe and beyond.

Murray's aim is to compete in the Winter X Games and eventually the Winter Olympics Halfpipe, while skiing for LINE and Nike ACG.
