concussions aren't like strikes in baseball homie. As long as symptoms have subsided you can slowly return to activity. like a day riding trail to see if symptoms comeback. And progress slowly back to full force as long as you don't start getting headaches from it.
you guys probably never had a actually bad concussion were you need to just chill in bed or the hospital for a couple of days. back to the basics of them. a concussion is when you hit your head and your brain sloshes against your skull. any bodily injury will never heal back to its pre injury state. there will always be some destroyed/damage tissue and scar tissue, build up of calcium (breaks) etc. you can only get so many concussions before you cant talk or walk or you die. you cant just keep coming back from a injury slowly, getting injured again and try to go back. that's why a lot of football players retire so young. there doctors wont let them play. if you have any concerns or questions about this rant please contact your doctor immediately.
and bummer man you had some real good talent. saw you up at whister this season. hope you find something else that you can do just as good.
january 2010- 1st major concussion: i was out cold for 6 minutes and didnt remember a thing till leaving the hospital (3 and half hours later) and for 2 weeks i was in another land.
December 2010- second concussion: I saw white and had a mini siezzure for 3 seconds, felt symptoms for 12 days.
Jan 2011- bumped my head one more time have had headaches since, so i have to stop( its been 5 days )
Glad you like it thanks for the support, I will stay involved as much I can, may not be with skiing but time will tell. MUCH LOVE
Damn dude, that's pretty gnarly. Good to see that your more or less functioning though, and like some other kids have said, when you feel up to it, go shred some mellow pow. Edit was sick too, you got some jumps skills for sure!
thats so sad. Joeys really got some talent with that cork 3 and flat 7 screamin seamen. After seeing that right after the x games it makes me wonder how fucking sick would it be to have seen that over the x games jump? lol The announcers would have been like speechless not knowing how to hate on it.
But on another note still ski, just nothing hard? Like do 3's and 5's and just slide the rails real smooth and film for your buddies. Im not the best park skiier in the world and i know if i just did 3s and 5 and took it easy i could possibly never fall again. Vibes+
I've had a few concussions but nothing bad like what was described here. That was an insane edit and its definitely going in as one of my favorites. Sucks he can't do it anymore and i'm gonna miss great edits like this .
vibes bro, i have mad respect for you and the fact that you came back to kill it as hard as you did. I hope life picks you up and carries and shows u happiness somewhere else.
fuuuck man, that's rough. i have a buddy who had a similar situation with hockey, but life goes on. i'm sure that your path will lead you into something else that makes you just as happy, if not more so, than skiing does. good luck.
i cant even believe how mad this kid must be right now. seriously, your screamin semen might be my favorite trick of all time. that one is going down in the books bro. vibes
Its not exactly easy to retire to the back country. He wouldnt be able to ski any real back country and even skiing at his local mountian in the woods is sketchy, People hit there heads in there all the time.
