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.

Latest comment: "Trainrider is not dead, it's a hoax and he alive and well. Look on Youtube there is interview with trainrider made a year after supposed death. "

Guest (421 days ago)

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

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

anyone tell me wot dis tune is??

Guest: Germanguy (652 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=5040669551- 450517044

Guest: scruff (705 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.

maverickrazormaverickrazor (769 days ago)

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

retzypooRetzypoo (687 days ago)

Guest: a Right Royal Rupert (315 days ago)

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

Guest: Carmon Ele (394 days ago)

He could have died from doing that!

Guest: andyrme2 (470 days ago)
