So i'm sitting here at home, i haven't skied for 5 days and won't be able to for another 10 or so days b/c of my 5th concussion the doctor warned me tat having another in the next 6 months would be very bad and that having this many concussions at the age of 17 could possibly lead to higher risks of Alzheimers and parkinsans (sp? and so i shouldn't be risking it in the park. but all i can't stop thinking about hitting jumps and the rest... so i am wondering what it would take 4 my fellow NSERS to quite skiing park

I've had 3 concussions up to date. 2 of them where on straight airs and another was on water ramps. What the hell.

so what if u won't remember anything later, live life now, and to its fullest. I mean which is better, being 90 and not being able to remember anything, or being 90 and regreting not doing something (killin' it in the park)?????

it would take somethin life threatening most likely. I mean who cares if you get that shit when you're old, I'd rather have a fun life so that when I'm old I dont care about dying that having a crappy life and being healthy and sad for a long time.

nothing would get me to stop skiing, If i died skiing, knowing I had the option to not die and quit skiing, I be more CORE then all you mf's. But that's just me....

I've had 3. 1 from football 2 from skiing. I would definetly listen to the doctor and just wait the small amount of time. If you go out in the next few days and just happen to knock your head even slightly it will feel as if you concussed yourself all over again. My last concussion was last season and I can't jump on a trampoline for more than 5 mins now without my brain feeling like it's hitting the sides of my head, maybe I'm just a pussy.

Or just be extra careful and lay down some archs on the corduroy. Or say fuck it and do whatever you feel you're capable of.
