i dont think it was a concussion because i remember every single part of the fall like a play by play, and i hit my stomach instead of my head first.

it was a gnarly fall, if i got it on film i would already have you guys linked to it haha

And thank you jeff!

wow, that would not be fun just floating in the water throwing up multiple times... and if you remembered it was 6 times throwing up and everything, actually i can't really help you...

i've only had a concussion 1 time and my friend didn't explain it to me until 3 years afterwards-(skateboarding)- but doctor might be smart....

Are you still throwing up? When you do throw up, are you bleeding? If one of these are "Yes", go see a doctor.

I am NOT a doctor but when stress can be involved, the body will toss the cookies.

I see head injuries all the time in the winter. Concussions don't always come with a loss of time, event. If you're vomitting get to the hospital/doctor it could be much more than a simple concussion.

Go to a doctor man I can't figure out why you need us to tell you this or why you are going to eat dinner first !!!!! if your that hungry get some jack in the crack on your way to the emergency room man, we dont want to see a wake worlder die when it could have all been prevented

remembering everything doesn't necessarily mean you didn't get a concussion.

(dlwsrider) · (dlwsrider) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 05-13-2007, 7:01 PM

alright i went to the hospital last night and they determaned that i had a concussion and that it was a pretty gnarly one at that haha.

they gave me some medicine for my nausia and the headaches which is nice because it took everythign i had not to throw up in the ER

they also took a CT scan for safety and it came back good so we think im alright.

Im gonna go to the doctor tommorow and get cleared to ride so i can get back to practicing

thanks for all the advice you guys!

DUDE...if you don't already...RIDE WITH A HELMET!

(dlwsrider) · (dlwsrider) **Join Date: Apr 2007** 05-14-2007, 7:58 AM

i usually only ride with a helmet when im hitting rails or riding a contest, because my friend clay has had concussions with a helmet on, but i might for a little while after today haha.

Dang man, that sucks, Ive taken some beater on the cab roll, way better to over rotate than under rotate. Hope you feel better

the docs just gonna tell you
rest and don't go slamming your head...
there is not alot they do for a concussion, except to tell you, yes you have a concussion! wtf? like you didn't know that? oh and that'll be $500...for aspirin.
if you break your collar bone they do not do anything(the joke is if the two pcs are in the same room they'll get back together just immobilize the arm.)
my first one from concrete, blurred my vision in one eye temporarily a couple days. next one i broke a 2x4 with my head and a 4x4 with my back at the same time(thought i broke my collar bone)
i slid down a skirun on a tube and hit a lift booth/fence railing.

the helmet is a good idea...
