    A friend told me about him and what he has done is a pretty crazy story. I thought I'd share it on here.

    The Trainrider had a gang in Frankfurt where they rode on top of trains as a sport.
    It's became quite popular in Germany, but in other places too.

    Like South Africa or Soweto.

    It's one of the craziest things I've seen people do as an extreme sport.

    The Trainrider did it because he had a cause but the other kids are just dangerous.
    Of couse the trains they ride don't gain speeds like the TGV, which The Trainrider rode, but they have been a lot of deads too.

    He died this year. After a year of riding on top of trains.

    This is exactly the kind of stuff that I'd do if I knew I didn't have much time left. Go skydiving, go to Germany and see how fast I could drive on the Autobahn, take a boat through the Bermuda Triangle, etc.
