"apparently Dave has had 7 concusssions on the small line alone" - quoted from olly

I managed to scrape my knees, jar my neck, and yeah their is some concussion as well. Im pretty sure I was out of it for a few seconds there too. Bike is fine though, helmet needs replacing..

 

[sram001]

replace it with a full face.

 

[Renegade]

I agree, happend to me before, replace it with a fullface for sure, you wont regret it.
Hope for a speedy recovery for you dude, cheers

oh dam thats not good!!! one of my mates did the same thing on new years and got really badly concused and had to get all his lips stitched up its not a fun thing to have happen to you. i agree with the other boys bye a fullface, it'll save you time and time again.

Did you loose any teeth? I did.

 

[Goobs]

I've got one. Dont wear it dirt jumping though....

Nope still got all my teeth...well less those three ceramic ones.

 

[johnny]

That's gotta suck mate. Just think though, the chicks will be lining up to pick the scabs off your face......

Do you think you might wear a FF jumping now? I only wore one once, this actually happened to be the day I fully head slammed. Cracked the inside of my new lid extensively. If I was wearing my normal skate lid, I'd STILL be dazed and confused I reckon!

Chicks dig scarred faces!!

Tough luck there man. Hope it isnt too permanent.

 

[rabbitt69]

dam man thats gotta hurt dude where abouts did you do it
i hope that it gets better for you

 

[ZetZmann]

You sould get a FF helmet man, they protect you from smashing your face in and they look pretty cool. You can just use a Motorbike helmet but they tend to be a bit on the heavier side than the ones just for MTB DJing
Hope you heal quick

Dont you people read.

I have a full face helmet. I wear it when I am downhilling. Gets to hot dirt jumping in full face. I might actually get a proper DJ lid, only had an XC lid (which is now cracked and needs replacing) on at the time.

The future plan is just to keep my nogggin from being a landing pad.

The scabs have all healed nicely. Tea tree oil has done them wonders. Maybe have a little scar from nearly splitting open my eye brow.
