German train surfer known as "the Trainrider" rides Germany's high speed train ICE with a top speed of nearly 250mph. Before he died from leukemia, he enjoyed the last year of his life by surfing on trains.

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.
why are we playing enya over the train rider? thats right. i totally think of enya when i want f*cking action. when i want action i drink mountain dew.

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

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

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.
