so yeah i learned backflips at san clemente 2 days ago and i was doing them yesterday too at diamond bar. well people are telling me (cuz i dont know) that i hit the back of my head on the ramp ,like taylor did a while back, and i woke up in the hospital. i was told i had a bad cuncussion and i dont remember some recent things that have happened. my dad told me that i hurt it doing a backflip and i didnt remember learning them the day before so i know i hit myself pretty good.

To John and Taylor: you guys might want to explain what happened to me and how i was acting cuz i dont even remember you guys there and my brain is not working to well right now

shit dude i hope youre still alright.. <333

well you landed one right before you hit your head (you had about 3-4 feet of clearance with your head and the coping on this one) and it was a very good flip. Then right after that you went to try it again while me and taylor were fixin our scoots in the corner. You went at it fast enough to flip just like before but you started it extremly early, like not even on in the middle of the ramp early, and you railed your head/neck and got knocked out... it looked so bad i thought you were dead dude, we came over and you were still breathing a little and you were just lying there unconcious with drool and blood all over, me any taylor were trying to get you to regain conciousness for about a minuite until you finally moved a bit. Then you kinda came to and seriously... you were so messed up... the conversations were like this..

"what happened..."
"you tryed a flip and nailed your head nick."
"huh?! i did a flip?!"
"yeah dude but you just about killed yourself."
"why did i try a flip?"
"because you learned them a day ago."
"I DID!?.. WHOA!........ What day is it?"

"Todays saturday dude"
"oh.... so what happened?"
"i just said, you tryed a flip and nailed your head nick."
"huh?! i did a flip?!"

you asked where you were, what happened and what day it was like 20 times.. and when we told you we got the same response each time.

we looked at your helmet and you hit it so hard that you cracked the shell all the way through to the padding.

you eventually got around to realising you got really messed up and told us you had a bad headache and your eye hurt, and asked us what happened to your eye about five times.

then you were askin why you had a fuzion bracelet that you got the day before, and then we found out that you didnt know what happened the day before at SC.

eventually your dad showed up and took you off and we all felt like complete shit for the rest of the day and taylor didnt really want to ride anymore.

Concussions suck ass. That's lame that you forgot the last few days or so of what's happened. Get better if not already, and... uh... wear a squishier helmet?

maybe but not for a while. i was ready to walk out of the hospital and do some more, but its scary now cuz yeah this can ruin my life if it happens again. i might have memory loss, paralization, or might end up dead. heck, john said that he thought i was dead so definately not for a while

If you weren't wearing a helmet you would have been 100% dead.. Think about how lucky you are to still even be alive after that one man..
