Flair to Face

at woodward. flaired a 14 ft halfpipe and my forks snapped. Apparently I snapped my forks and fell on my face. Much of that day was lost in my head somewhere, and i don't even remember riding that ramp. The point at which i was riding and was on a couch being told what had happened 10000 times was a blur. I looked at my scooter and realized i broke it, and messed up my headset. I was clueless of what happened, and I still don't remember anything, i was just pissed my scooter was broke. This was like 2 months ago. so i doubt the memory will ever come back. So I found out i had like a pretty bad concussion. My face hurt, and i was dumb enough to start riding the day after. Haven't been hurt that bad since. knock on wood. Anyone else had head injuries where they dont remember stuff?

I flipped too early once and my head smacked straight into the coping super hard. its weird because i dont remember even riding this box. also, people told me that as soon as i fell, i kept saying " dude i chipped my tooth" literally, every 3 seconds (which I did). i guess my memory was soo bad afterwards, that i would say it once, and forget i said it 3 seconds later, and say it again. Also, whenever i would look at people's faces 5 minutes after the crash, my mind was so messed up, that their mouth would be where an eye was, their nose would be on their cheek, it was just so messed up.

never gotten concussion, i stacked a 360 backflip the other day from ~4ft or sumfin and smashed my whole right hand side, winding me and giving me a fair bit of pain, sitting in the car on the way home my feet and legs would go numb and my arm has twitched/shaked a few times

sadly, i just was riding fdr yesterday seshin it up with andy bradford and my boy jon devrind. I was shreddin pretty good. Landin some decent tricks. I was tucking, barring, dub whipping, and turndowning this like 10 foot concrete box/ a frame thing. So i decided to throw a bar late whip. i got close first try. closer the second. third times the charm. I missed my scooter after the whip, landed sideways, turned, and landed straight on my back and slingshotted my head right into the concrete. not wearing a helmet either. all was a blur, and it just felt like i was dreaming. once things started becoming clear again a minute or two later, i was still on the ground with jon, andy, and a few other people over me. like omg are you ok? My head honestly didnt hurt that bad, so I was just like, please tell me you got that on footage. I was so stoked when they told me they did. So i got up, left, and went to mcdonalds stoked on such a big fall with a huge squishy lump on my head the size of a baseball. no lie. its still there too. But after that, I was crazy enough to go ride some street in the city (wilmington). we filmed some there too, but i wore a helmet all day after that. even street. i think i might from now on. too many head injuries. the footage from me fallin and the footy from the rest of the day will be up soon. within the next 2-3 days.
