Train Surfing!

I have just watched a documentary on train surfing on trains in South Africa.Done mostly by young men who perform daring stunts on the city's commuter trains.
The most dangerous is standing on top and dodging bridges and high-power cables.
Then there's a trick that involves swinging out of a door as the train travels through a tunnel and running along the sides.Lebohang Motsamai, a strapping young man with hair braided tightly, describes another move, known as "gravul" from the gravel on the tracks: "I get under the train, when it is in motion, and kick the stones, kin, kin, I play with my legs."

So why does he do this and risk his life?Surrounded by a clutch of admirers, he says he plays these games to impress girls. "Because when I do this, they are going to love me. They are going to say, eish, this boy is clever."

Need I say any more?
