Surfing Soweto - South Africa

December 2006 'Surfing' on top of speeding trains is the ultimate adrenaline experience for South Africa's disillusioned youth. It's illegal, dangerous and has already killed hundreds. "I always wanted to be a stuntman", explains 'Bitch Nigga'. He doesn't just surf trains. He ducks bridges, does push ups and has come up with his own entertainment routine, performed from the top of a racing train. Most of the surfers come from broken homes. They spend their days drinking, smoking and teaching each other the latest train surfing techniques.

Blame the government of south Africa for allowing old trains to be still on the tracks, the government should bring in new high tech trains with speed, not for long distances only, but in and around jozi for the benefit of the people of south Africa and stop this nonsense of surfing trains,hahahaha will see then if they going to be surfing trains at high speed, like the uncle that said in that video,bazonyaaaaaaaaaaa !

Compared to boys in the USA these boys seemed smart and nice and it seems like they would take good advantage of any good opportunity given to them. If any of you ever read this, I wish you well and pray for you and your families to have simple happiness. You don't need a fancy cars and cells phones. Just love one another and be good to one another. It seems to me each and all have a great goodness inside of you that is all you need.

You don't even need to touch the cable to get electrocuted. The dielectric strength of air is about 3000/millimeter, so you'll only need to be a millimeter away from the overhead wire and an electric arc will probably kill you.

I pray for my young SA brothers. Let us all try to use polite language on here (if we believe in God). All will be well. I HOPE nobody is making money from these people's predicament! That would NOT be right! Already I have heard someone being interviewed about this film on the BBC! Instead -we need to find out why these young people do this, and help alleviate the problem, rather than capitalise on it... to SHOCK the western world and make money out of it. Do NOT cry, beloved country. Amen.

Most of these train surfers have been brought up without a father figure around them and i think that has also contributed to the adoptation of this deadly sport/leisure time activity by these kids...its so difficult for women to impose displine in African society.My next question is why is the South African government not putting measures in place to prevent it from happening???

'Cheeseboys', youths who surf for fun, according to recent studies, turn to train surfing as a means of fighting off BOREDOM. A certain 'hero' status is bestowed upon the most skilled and daring, and in conjunction with the adrenalin and screaming girls ('cheerleaders') these surfers will not quit this 'sport' anytime soon.

There is little else for them ... inadequate education, desperate future, little hope. Very few ever achieve much, so this is their challenge, their manhood. It is for these reasons that I spend so much of my time visiting schools to show that there IS a future for them, and it works! But, I am one of the very few that does this sort of work with youngsters, and, at times, I despair.

Its not normal, of course! But who wan´ts to be normal? Who wants to die without having reached something? Everyone needs his adrenalin, one less, one more... I need more.... think about it....
