I didn't think I'd be the type of person to go in for this sort of post.. but it's 2.30am and I can't sleep and I'm feeling very sorry for myself so here goes..

Isn't life shitty sometimes..

An old friend died yesterday.. I'm pretty certain that none of you will know him, although through his passion he inspired me to look at riding mountain bikes in a very positive light back in the early 90s

He was a crazy guy and absolutely fearless and lived to the extreme..
I looked up to him when we were young and as we grew into men we became good friends..
He's possibly the only person I have ever known to have the strength to successfully quit a heroin addiction and so it was very upsetting to learn that he died peacefully yesterday aged 40..

You were loved and respected by all who knew you and I will miss you..

Goodnight mate

Sometimes it just helps to get it out there, and say what needs to be said. Nicely said, stay positive.

I echo everyone else's sentiments chap, sorry to hear of your loss, yes life does send some cruel swerves, I've had my share of them this year, two good mates my dog and my old Mum, she was pushing her luck a bit at ninety something but nevertheless she's my Mum.

A young guy like that though, it's no age, so very sad, my sincere condolences, it does help to get it out there, shows we're not alone in grief and shitty life.

I feel for you Yunki - a very dear friend of mine died totally unexpectedly a few years ago, aged just 50, and another very dear friend has recently told me he has lung, bone and prostate cancer. Trouble is, the ba****d has moved to his sister's and hasn't given me a contact phone number!
