Lost my wife to suicide when our son was 15 months old. He turned 8 today Ryan, and he loves you and your channel mate. He watches your videos often and he wants me to move up near you so he can go to the same Skate Park as you lol. Its been over 6 years mate since Katie took her life. I struggle with the grief everyday. It will never go away, but we will build walls and surround that grief in time. Look after yourself, take the time you need. And thank you for making my sons life a happier one

So sorry for your loss we will all miss Luke. We’re all here for u ryan 😢🕊

Man I had the pleasure of meeting you and Logan at bike fest and you guys signed my daughters helmet. I remember thinking that it seemed like something was bothering you or had you upset and then the next day is when it went public what had happened. That fact that you stuck around there for the fans and was still willing to meet and talk to people just shows how much you care about the people that support you. Seriously couldn’t have more respect for you. Thank you for all you do in this sport. You’re a true legend.

R.I.P Luke you will always be a legend 🕊️🕊️

Dear Ryan, I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest condolences and offer my support during this incredibly challenging time. The news of Luke's passing has undoubtedly left you feeling an overwhelming mix of emotions, and I can only imagine the pain and heartache you are experiencing. Luke was a cherished friend, and his loss is a profound tragedy. It's important to remember that each person's journey is unique, and we can never fully understand the depths of someone's struggles. Luke's decision was a reflection of the pain he carried within, and it is not a burden that any one person should bear alone. During this grieving process, please remember to be gentle with yourself. Allow yourself the space and time to mourn, as grief has no timeline. It's okay to feel a range of emotions, from sadness and anger to confusion and disbelief. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to honor them. In the midst of this darkness, lean on the support of those who care about you. Reach out to friends, family, or professionals who can provide a listening ear and offer guidance. You don't have to navigate this journey alone. Surround yourself with people who understand and empathize with your pain, and who can help you find strength and healing in the days ahead. As you grieve the loss of Luke, try to remember the moments you shared together-the laughter, the adventures, and the bond you formed. Cherish those memories and carry them with you as a testament to the beautiful connection you had. Luke's life, though tragically cut short, had an impact, and the love and friendship he shared with you will forever hold a special place in your heart. If there's anything I can do to support you, please don't hesitate to reach out. Whether you need someone to talk to, someone to accompany you to a support group, or simply a comforting presence, know that I am here for you. In this time of profound loss, may you find solace in the love and memories you shared with Luke. May you find strength in the support of others, and may you ultimately discover healing and hope as you navigate the journey of grief. With deepest sympathies, Your fans

Grief is an extremely long and complicated road mate, please never apologise for doing whatever you need to do to get through it. So sorry for your loss, Luke seemed like a hell of a guy, sending love to you, his friends and his family ❤

Ryan is one of them mates we all wish we had, Luke knew he had a real brother. As someone who struggles with mental health, this really hits home. I hope you read all the comments from your fans, because there is so much love and it shows what a great community the BMX/Scooter scene is.

Take whatever time and space you need, when you need it. We are all family here. Much love to everyone. ❤

This was a total shock. It is crystal clear how close u and Luke were, "a brother from another mother" comes to mind. The emotions u displayed during this video were touching. This was a fitting tribute and a beautiful visual eulogy for a good friend. Ride In Peace. Luke Burland. 🙏🏼👑🙏🏼

I’ve just found my 5yo watching this in tears, he said I’m so sad for Luke and his people ❤ thank you for sharing such awesome memories and on your birthday, sorry for the huge loss ❤️‍🩹🎈

Damn this made me cry , rest in peace Luke and thanks for years of laughter and astonishment.

Happy birthday Ryan and I’m so sorry for your loss, stay shredding up there luke🙌🏻

I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s hard losing someone you love. Condolences to his family and friends, and also happy early birthday.🕊️🕊️💜

Just wanted to say I wish you and all of the Hill Willies 🙏 during this time I am thankful for all the work you do and the genuine happiness you bring to your videos. Don't apologize for any pain you're experiencing as losing a close friend is difficult and will take time to heal from... prayers to Luke and his family and and to all that were close to him a happy healing. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

My condolences brother. Mental health is a huge problem in the world nowadays. At least you have these great videos to remember him with. I just lost my grandpa in February and I would give anything to have videos with him.

rest in peace, Luke Bruland. Ryan, you are why I got into BMX and what has made me choose it to be my career path (with nitro ;)). every time you post it boosts my motivation and makes me want to get out and ride! don't ever give up on what you are doing. there is an appreciation for it, and you are changing people's life by doing what your doing much love Rwilly, Wesley.

Love your love and support for Luke and Pat. You are such a bright and warm person in the scooter and BMX and action sports world. Your videos make my day better and im not an athlete. I just love seeing people be passionate about what they do. You are an inspiration to me and millions. Thank you Ryan. Hope i can shake your hand one day. You are an amazing human and role model.

I'm glad you have so much footage to remember him by, must be such a comfort. Sorry for your loss and Happy Birthday

What a beautiful, heartfelt video for your friend. It takes a lot of courage to show how you feel and it is a definition of what it means to be a man. He seemed like an absolute legend with the best sense of humour and I can see why you were such great friends. My heart goes out to you, his friends and family. Stay strong mate just take it one day at a time. 🙏🙏

Happy birthday big fella. I have really struggled recently, but your positivity And just general all round awesomeness has helped me. Keep doing what you are doing bro. You have the love of us all

Ryan, I can only imagine the pain your going thru of loosing a dear friend so close to you live on in his honour do what he loved and make him proud while you do so! Time heals things as best as it can but not completely but hopefully in the future when you think of him and what you’ve done to honour him you’ll smile bc you know you’ve made him proud

Life is always changing, it's a difficult road for everyone! Stay strong man!! Happy Birthday, Ryan! & R.I.P Luke!

This is a touchy subject man. My condolences go to you and loved ones.

Dude..keep his memory alive by doing what you do..and replaying some of those gnarly moves your bud Luke executes..you rock. bruh

Shows a lot of strength to share your life the way you do. All love and respect and so sorry for your loss.

I’m sorry for your loss, thank you for sharing the precious memories with us. Take care of yourself.

Mate.. heartfelt, raw, send-off. Condolences, it takes courage, strength, compassion. Seeing this kind of thing hopefully makes it that bit easier and or relatable to anyone that's suffered through a loss like this. So, thankyou

Thanks for sharing this brother. We are all so sorry for your loss. Prayers to his family and friends. Until we scoot again.

Rest in peace Luke, I hope you rest well. Watching this gave me a reason to hold on for at least one more day.

Damn. Sincere condolences. Wish you all the strength you can use. Going to hug my wife now. Thanks!

Super sorry for your loss Ryan. This is devastating. Ride In Peace Luke.

My best mate James took his own life in March 2023, I think about him every single day.. He may of not made a difference to the world or whatever but he made a difference to me. He taught me so much, his knowledge was priceless to me. Life's Hard!!! Has anyone told u today that "YOUR SPECIAL"

My condolences. Too young to pass away. He was always a great spirit in the videos. Seemed like a really good bloke ❤

We all need more friends like you two, more focus on mental health and just being human. We all want inner peace and being able to come out about not being okay is the mission. Love you bruv you keep your head high and live the dream for thw both of you. ❤

I'm so sorry brotha from a survivor of suicide and tremendous loss i feel you it sucks and is difficult to truly continue after such a loss you do amazing things my man keep on keeping on and live with his memory always go out and be great!

sometimes feeling nothing while watching horrible news makes me wonder if im dead inside, then i watch this video of yours about losing your friend i didnt even know existed. And here i am bawling my eyes out. Your videos are a huge motivation for me to stick to my fitness program. but please take all the time you need to heal / learn to cope with the current situation. Lots of love from Germany!

I'm so sorry Ryan. I'm very happy you introduced all of us to Luke. Dude is a legend!

I’m so sorry, I know how tough it is losing a friend to mental illness. I lost my sister last year and two friends in recent year. Continuing to remember them and talk about them at their best is the way to pay tribute to them.

Great video to remember your best friend man! It’s nice having all the videos and picture to look back on for sure.

My deepest condolences to his friends and family. I've lost a few friends way too early and its tough. Keeping their memories alive is most important.

Thanks for taking your time to post this, it definitely shows how much you cared for him and he looked so happy when he was with you.. I too wish he would have seen all the love and support he truly had, i had a friend take his life at the age of 15 he was loved at that time by so many and didnt see it.. Stay strong keep killing and never lose hope.. Luv ya

So sorry brother!! I know exactly how you’re feeling right now, I lost my best friend as well and it’s by far the hardest thing I’ve ever went through in my life 😔 Prayers to you brother stay strong!

SOO good and hard to watch at the same time.. thanks Ryan

The vids with you, Luke, Gek, and Harley are my go too videos when I need something to cheer me up. He was so funny and talented. I can't imagine how hard this has been for you. Take your time. ❤

Lots of love and hugs from a fellow struggling Aussie. I feel your pain. ❤️

Wow that was real nice to watch. I’m so sorry for your loss much love brother keep your head up G 🤘🏽

Just remember, everytime you do a trick he's got your back and giving you the confidence to win the competition. Your the best for a reason. Keep surrounding yourself with the riders and always believe in yourself! I'm 47 from the states, but You Inspired me. Your doing more positive than negative. Your my reason to live some days, cause if he can overcome that fear, so can I. Thank you!

Always liked watching you guys together riding, all the best bro 🤙🏽

Love you, Ryan. It’s so great that you have so much footage of you two having a blast together. Most wouldn’t have the opportunity, and would give up everything just for that sense of a connection. Fuck serving everyone, take all the time you need to get your head right. This video was great, thank you for sharing, brother. ♥️🙏🏼

I remember watching old school MGP east coast trips and different MGP edits of you guys as a young fella. It feels like a loss for us older ex-scooter blokes, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. You guys a such good guys. Ride in Peace❤

Here for the loss of a legend 🕊🕊 R.I.P

Hey Ryan. This past x-games, you inspired me to a whole different level. I lost my best friend in a freak accident. Breaks me as I type this. My word dude, you are such an inspiration and in my opinion, the most talented bmx rider on the scene. “I got so good at riding scooters that they couldn’t give me any crap”. What a legend dude! I’m expecting double front flip tail whips next x-games 😂😂

Ride in peace legend Luke. Proper heart breaking mate. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video celebrating Luke’s life.

Sorry for your loss Willy. Had a scroll through the comments, and you have a lot of love and support in here. Keep your head up in these hard times. Much love brother

Been through smth similar. Its super hard to live with it, but you will find your way and some day the sun shines again :) You are not alone buddy :)
