r.i.p. TROXEL, south american urban pioneer

That is trully sad news.

I lurk this forums a lot more than I post, and I remember TROXEL from beeint part of the "Chilean crew".

I send my sinceres condolences to his familly and friends.

I'm at a loss for words, no one should go like this.

R.I.P. Alejandro

Very sad news.

R.I.P.

very sad news .... i hope he is riding in heaven now

so sorry vitox.

very sad news. ive always enjoyed the footage of troxel and the rest of the crew. he will be missed.

read the post in terrabike this morning...have no words man.
RIP Alejandro

mis condolencias a la comunidad biker chilena bro.

For those who didnt knew him, here are some pics of him.
he loved to ride his bike on the street. Now you will ride forever wherever you be.

That's horrible news. I am so sorry. Please tell his family that the international riding community is mourning his loss.

I know it's really soon and I might be getting ahead of myself but have you thought about holding an urban contest/jam in his name? Something to carry on his legacy of pioneering street MTB riding in Chile?

edit: another thought. maybe setup a paypal account for donations for his family if needed. I have no idea of there financial status but I know a lot of us might feel better if there was a tangible way we could help, something other than just putting out good vibes.

Aweful news - I'm very sorry to hear that.
Troxel, RIP.

REST IN POWER BROTHER

condolences to all

rip man, sad sad news

It's horrible what happened, but it also awesome that you guys were able to celebrate his life this way by doing something that he loved. I hope that when the time comes that I would be so lucky.

So very sad to hear this. I always liked seeing the footage and hearing the southern riding updates from Troxel on hcor.

RIP. I hope he's enjoying the riding up above and hitting all the spots with Jeremy.

This senselesness makes me sick. Alejandro was always very nice to me when I lived in Santiago. There is no forgetting, as Neruda said:

No Hay Olvido (Sonata)
Si me preguntais en donde he estado
debo decir 'Sucede'.
Debo de hablar del suelo que oscurecen las piedras,
del rio que durando se destruye:
no se sino las cosas que los pajaros pierden,
el mar dejado atras, o mi hermana llorando.
Por que tantas regiones, por que un dia
se junta con un dia? Por que una negra noche
se acumula en la boca? Por que muertos?

Si me preguntais de donde vengo, tengo que conversar con cosas rotas,
con utensilios demasiado amargos,
con grandes bestias a menudo podridas
y con mi acongojado corazon.

No son recuerdos los que se han cruzado
ni es la paloma amarillenta que duerme en el olvido,
sino caras con lagrimas,
dedos en la garganta,
y lo que se desploma de las hojas:
la oscuridad de un dia transcurrido,
de un dia alimentado con nuestra triste sangre.

He aqui violetas, golondrinas,
todo cuanto nos gusta y aparece
en las dulces tarjetas de larga cola
por donde se pasean el tiempo y la dulzura.

Pero no penetremos mas alla de esos dientes,
no mordamos las cascaras que el silencio acumula,
porque no se que contestar:
hay tantos muertos,
y tantos malecones que el sol rojo partia
y tantas cabezas que golpean los buques,
y tantas manos que han encerrado besos,
y tantas cosas que quiero olvidar.

His last project in this land (by now)
