So yea i gotta concussion friday night after trying a corked 3 over a small table. I remember the inrun, goin over a roller, and then waking up on the slope having Pee Skatrol asking me wut day it was. My friend says i was knocked out for 5 mins drooling. Had to get the ambulance ride and all that ish. doc said no skiing for a week. my question is when can i seriously start skiing, and would consuming large ammounts of alchol hurt my headaches ne more or fuck my head up? thanks.

i got a concussion last year playing football, never had one before thought i was cool i was just really dizzy becuase i didnt remeber blacking out. So i got up and kept playing, ended up i got another concussion which made it severe. Went to the doctor he told me i couldnt play for a week. So just like you i didnt believe him. I got another before the week was over. now im FUCKED UP. dont ski its not worth it. because of that i slur my speech i cant remember things and its just bad times it makes me look really burnt out so give it the whole week go back to the doc and make sure your cool to ski again.

yeah man ive never had one but its soo true. . .getting a second one right after your first in a short amount of time can fuck u. U can seriously become retarded if u get a second concussion and it has not been a week. Some people will be like man just ski anyway. . .but they are not gonna be around when your parents gotta bathe u cause u cant do it for yourself anymore cause u got another concussion right after the first

^^^I dont think it's possible that you got two concussions in a row within that short of a period. I think that if you get 2 in a row you either die or go into a comma.

it probably depends on how severe they are.. The first one was probably not all that bad, but i'm no doctor and i dont pretend to be.. i just remember hearing that somewhere

Listen to your doctor. Is 7 days of no skiing worth even risking anything like your brain?

Yeah, I got a concussion on the bike park over the summer, but I never thought about how I didn't remember the rest of the day since I was dazed, so I kept riding and doing huge drop-offs and shit. Then my friend came and realized how messed up I was, but if I had fallen on my head again I would have been fuuuuucked.

start wearing a helmet to prevent future injuries. Everyone gets a concussion eventually, i have had 3. All minor none the less, but there's no harm in being safe.

wear a good helmet, but definitely get yourself a mouthguard too, bro. I have posted about this numerous times before, even on how to flavor a mouthguard if you dont like using one. But the main cause of many concussions is the pressure your brain takes when your jaws smack together. Helmet + mouthguard = no concussion from just a small table (I am assuming under 30 ft)

everyone wear helmets! especially if you've had concussions before, I've had 5 now and it's gotten to a point where I get them super easily. If I'd been wearing a helmet from day one it's possible that I could have avoided the first couple and not be in the position I'm in now where I've had enough that it's a concern and I get them even with a helmet (although it obviously still helps with the severity).

I just read a Lincolnloop something's post and he's bang on, a mouthguard is super key as well. A couple of my concussions were the result of me overshooting landings and smashing my chin on my knee, also I'm lanky and I've got wicked pointy knees. I don't remember anything from the day I had my last concussion but I'm told by my friends that after I came to every two or three minutes out of nowhere I kept saying 'Damn pointy knees!' over and over again all day. Those same friends also took advantage of how looped out I was and blew my fucking mind by convincing me I'd lost a bet with them just prior to my concussion and I owed them $100. I don't remember that either but watch out for that one

If you were out cold and unconcsious for 5 minutes, then you need to take it easy. Being unconscious for more then 2 minutes with head injuries are serious and can easily cause brain damage/nerve shortage. I was out for 4 or 5 minutes, and my blood pressure dropped and all my vitals stopped responding.

Take a break for a week or so, wear a helmet, and take it easy. Don't let yourself get psyched out though.

Exactly, it can be real risky to go out and charge after a major head injury. Best to play it safe.
