Sure you may ask yourself why am I even here, but there is ALWAYS something to live for.

If he was stuck in a wheel chair with a drool rag I could somewhat understand it. To be honest, is some situation I agree with what someone like Dr Kavorikan was doing, but in a situation like his, i think its selfish and cowardly.

I’m sure he put a bit more thought into it then you did and there are circumstances we are just not aware of. Just cause he was on his way to recovery doesn’t mean that he would ever recover fully and be as good as he was. Then he would feel trapped in his own crippled body teasing him by allowing to ride but nowhere near the skill level he was.

Here read this suicide note as food for thought

Selfish? Cowardly? You really need to get your head straight, you have absolutely no idea what the poor guy has been through and the shit he endured and you dare call him a coward.

I’m sorry but a guy who dares to do what no other man would ever do and breaks world records for longest jump is no coward.
