Another cross post from T-F but I'm afraid I have some awful news regarding Rob Janson, a member of both this forum and trials-forum and an awesome guy.

Hello.

I received word today that Robert Janson was in an accident last Thursday (26th June) night and died at the hospital on Friday. He was on his way home from a one day music festival and walked over a brigde towards the centre of Gothenburg, when he somehow fell down. Robert was taken to hospital but died from his injuries on friday. Noone knows exactly how or why, but there must have been a lot of people around going from the concerts.

Seeing as he has been on the forum almost from the beginning and probably knows a lot of the mods and seniors I thought it would be best to write straight to you instead of posting this myself, as it deserves some special attention.

It's horrible all this, so many tragic deaths of young people, fellow riders http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif This is very hard for me, riding won't ever be the same again as he was the only one around here and we met up regularly to ride. I started to worry when I couldn't get hold of him for a few days, but this came like a total shock. His funeral will be next Friday, not religious and no dresscode all in honor of Robert.

take care.
Peter BäckgrenMy thoughts are with his friends and family. :(

Speechless.
Just awful news. Rob was a regular on all the forums since I started trials. Never had a chance to meet him, but he always came across as a totally solid guy. Just someone you always expected to have something to post about anything. You'll be missed dude,
condolences go out to your family.

I never knew the guy, but i certainly feel for his family and friends.

Hopefully both he and they find peace in the time ahead.

Oddest thing is only yesterday did i get delivery off him!!

I've spoken to him loads over the years via TF and MSN. Had a lot of fun and increased my video collection massively thanks to him, he seamed to have every trials video made on his PC! He really conected with everyone in the sceen and was a great laugh.

Really sad to hear we've lost yet again a top rider and friend.

RIP Janson, were ever you be and we be, you'll forever be in our hearts, ride in peace and make sure the boys (DJ, Oli, Beau) are up too no good! xx

Looks like my tatto is getting bigger then!!! Best go get it done this weekend!

In less than 1 month 2 great trials riders have died, less than a year 3 amazing mates have died! Over the year 4 unique riders, friends, young men have been taken from us by the hand that feeds.
