Jim Murphy, or ‘Murf’ as he is more commonly known, is one of the most accomplished vert skaters of the 1980s, skating for Alva Skateboards and representing the East Coast. But, as we learned in our conversation, Murf has a LOT more going on in his life. From his founding of Stronghold Society, a non-profit organization that advocates for skateboarding with a focus on creating and sustaining skateparks in Native American communities, and the formation of Wounded Knee Skateboards, Murf has remained involved in skateboarding with a higher, humanitarian purpose. Add to this his other day job as a stained glass conservator, restoring Tiffany (and other antique) glass art to its former glory AND his work with JUICE Magazine, and you’ve got a very busy punk rocker! We dive into all of it (and more) in an in-depth and totally fascinating conversation, so don’t miss it!
