I could think of a lot better ways to live out your last year, and I'm sure the guys who have to put up with cleaning up the remains of guys killed on railway tracks would have appreciated his last year put to better use. I can see WHY you might think it a good way to go out (ie, if you are young and stupid), but there ARE better ways and more altruistic ways. Just THINK a little harder.

"Carmon Ele (150 days ago) He could have died from doing that! " - BUT HE DIDNT, that means its 100% safe.

Maybe if I claim fake leukemia disease, I can get free train rides too?

Bullshit, dude is well and alive. See "The truth about the trainrider" on youtube.

Yeah, it's called Caribean Blue by the artist Enya. I can't think of a better way to live out my last days but getting the biggest buzz I could by Train Surfing. Surf on Dude.

that was one of the saddest but paradoxically happiest films i've ever seen. Poetic, maybe. Beautiful, definitely.Whoever put the film together with the music knew what they were doing. Would love to know what the music was and who by. Reminds me of Clannad singer, Enya. Thanks, Great film

Because "we" can. Are you a royal "we" or are we just taking the piss?

Guest: Stain (221 days ago)

Aye, the guy is still knocking around

i know he gets on ice at hanau. what is the other bahnhof is he at.almost looks like frankfurt but i don t remember the bridge there

Guest: Germanguy (511 days ago)

The guy is still alive and he doesn't suffer from leukemia. The video saying he's dead is fake. If you enter the link below, you'll see a German TV show interviewing that guy. Really crazy. Don't know if I should like hit or judge this guy as totally ill. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5040669551450517044

Guest (264 days ago)

Guest: guest (350 days ago)

maverickrazormaverickrazor (628 days ago)

hoax or otherwise, i don't care, it's a great film

Guest: scruff (564 days ago)

if i hadn't known the dude was a terminally ill leukemia sufferer, i would have dismissed this as a dangerous stupid prank. as it stands, it nearly made me weep. beautiful.

Guest: Carmon Ele (252 days ago)

He could have died from doing that!

retzypooRetzypoo (545 days ago)
