Biography

Jim Bray is a professional freestyle artistic roller skater. A performer and instructor, Bray competed in freestyle artistic skating for nearly a decade, prior to giving up his amateur status in order to co-star alongside Linda Blair in 1979 musical teensploitation film Roller Boogie. By the time he was 18, Bray had earned 275 trophies and "won every Artistic Singles event from Primary Boys to Senior Men's in his Regional competitions". He has been United States amateur roller skating champion 8 times and skated competitively for 15 years. In 1981, Roller Skating Magazine (published by Surfer Publications) wrote that Bray's "ability to turn his roller skating talent into a marketable career has been a pleasure and inspiration to millions all over the world".
