My first concussion

So yeah I got my first concussion in the lamest way ever. I was skiing up to what used to be a little 20 foot table my first run of the day. I hit it with normal speed and was going to straight air it but completely cleared the landing because it was now about 10 feet long. Some how I knocked myself out while trying to absorb the landing. Shit it sucked. At least I could have gotten hurt doing something cool. Anyone else had a concussion? how long do they last? I'm I going to die? haha. Just kidding but is there anything I can do to get over it faster mentally and physically?

i've had a couple, and theres not too much you can do to make it get better faster other than just take things easy for a while. sucks to hear that you got concussed though. but if it makes you feel any better, the last concussion i got was from straightlining switch, and i hit a mogul, then it goes blank for about 15 seconds or so. i wake up and see blood everywhere from where i bit my tongue, then yelled at my friends to go skiing and not worry bout me. then it goes blank for when i skied down to the ski patrol.

I got a few concussions in elementary school, playing on the playground. Then semi-recently, I got one wakeboarding over the summer. The board came up, hit my head and cut me. Fun stuff. It's nothing to be super proud about though, and too many concussions are bad for you, cause they continue to effect your body. My advice would be to take some aspirin and get some rest. You'll have a bad headache for a while, end of story.

Yeah I know I should have checked out the jump but I have literally hit it over a hundred times this season. I don't really know how it happened. No one saw it and I don' remember anything from the point where my feet hit the ground. It was just so lame because four days earlier I was at squaw going three over like 35-40 foor table and then I get beat down on a 10-15 foot jump doing a straight air. Oh well, I'm feeling pretty good already and haven't thrown up which is good.

yeah i only got one serious concussion this year when i was hitting this urban jib with some friends and my friend was standing right at the landing of the rail and he didnt know i was coming and when i hit the rail i couldnt see to the landing, so i greased the rail just hoping he would get out of the way but he didnt and i had a ton of speed and i hit him and we both got concussions, i was unconscious for a little while, yeah i had a headache and i felt a little sick but i slept it off and i was fine the next day

Nearly got one Friday... (at least I hope I didn't.) Plowed my knee into my face off of a blind drop to flat. It nearly knocked me out.

Concussions suck... they're like car accidents, you get in one, the next week you'll be on your 3rd car.

i just got one about 3 weeks ago. i was tryin a 9 in the pipe and caught my edge 90 degrees short. my head whipped right into the flat bottom and my headphones cut my head open. i got a concussion and 2 staples in my head. my head is totally fine now, but i still have the staples in my head. i think i have to go back to get them taken out. i have a friend, though, that had a concussion and he is still all messed up and it is like two months later. it all just depends how bad of one you had.

Yeah, they're not too fun. someone said that once you get one, they're really easy to get again and that's all too true. I have had so many that I don't even keep track anymore

honestly, how many of you make a run through the park and inspect every takeoff and landing before you hit them?

Ive had 3 in the past month, I cant ski anymore for this season. Its not something to be proud of^. If you get hurt alot it doenst meen your going any bigger then the other guy who isnt hurrt, it meens your not thinking about what your doing. and concusions are seriouse, if you get one, take a couple weeks off, its not worth risking getting another one and having to miss a whole month, or worse yet, a season.

Yeah Logan it sucked. It was on that first jump on the shorter hit. That thing is way small no. I missed the landing by about 10 feet. It sucked.

you gotta rest, I got a bad one a month ago, crashed really fast backwards, slammed my head direct on hard snow. I carried on like normal (designing in front of a computer) and it messed me up big time. After a week going to work I was fuked and had to stay in bed for days. Ended up taking about 3 weeks before my vison got back to normal. It was my 5th or 6th concussion. I dont know if you got a helmet or not but if I had worn one I would have been fine instead of feeling dizzy, nauseous, having a chronic migraine and not being able to see properly. Now I always wear a helmet. If u feel bad then rest dude.
