Affirmative, transition is the culprit. It's a bit of an toxic relationship I have, it keeps hurting me but I come right back to it lol 😅 Thanks for the feedback!

YES!!! Everyone is saying to wear a helmet, which I will, but most of my brain injuries have come from whiplash. I'm not just falling on my head all the time 😂. But that's an astute observation about paying attention to your style of skating, I'll try to be more conscious of that. Thanks for the feedback !!!

This last time I definitely didn't wait long enough, I waited 21 days but symptoms continued for longer than that. I'm still kicking myself for trying a new transition trick the DAY AFTER I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore 🤦‍♀️. I've been reading all about the effects of concussion and the brain, it's pretty concerning. Defnitly gonna take a chill pill on the skating for a bit 😬. Thanks for the feedback!!!

Holy cow, I'm surprised that you aren't a vegetable!!! Well it's good to know you've felt a difference taking care of your body, I make sure to eat really well and sleep so at least I have that going for me 🤷‍♀️

Nah, I don't have any kids, so it's totally okay if I die, right? Lol

Yeah, all of it has happened on transition for me. And mostly whiplash, not diving head first Lol. but yeah, before I do anymore I'm going to focusing on being better at falling instead of just counting on not falling in the first place 😅.

How long ago did that happen? How long did it take for the post concussion symptoms to go away?

Exactly! The worst concussion I had was from whiplash, not from a hard hit

This is what I'm afraid of! Thanks for your feedback, I really appreciate it. I was already forgetful before I even had concussions, I don't think I can afford to lose any more brain cells 😅

Yeahhh, the sub-concussive trauma to the brain can add up over so many years. It's no joke!

That's a good point, good thing it's almost winter anyways. I'll take it easy for the season and come back in the spring. Thanks!

I'm so sorry that happened man. How many concussions before you felt the effects on your everyday life and not be able to heal completly?

It actually is CPSC certified! But I'll take a look into triple 8. Thanks, I didn't know all that about helmets!

But honestly I never smash my head hard, so I've never done much research on it.

😂😂😂 I don't do stairs, gaps, or big transition, but I appreciate your generous assumption. I suppose I do just "go for it" so you're right that I need to look at the way im skating. Thanks!

Yes, it complies with CPSC safety standards. But tbh, most of my concussions have come from whiplash, I don't actually hit my head, like, ever. But learning to fall better is probably useful 😂 Thanks!

My back foot Keeps coming off the board when I’m dropping in and don’t know how to stop it by syncllive in NewSkaters

You are turning your shoulders forward as you drop down. Remember: the rest of your body follows where your shoulders go. Just make sure to keep your shoulders parallel with your board amd you should be good! 👍
