[QUOTE="Porkchop, post: 1375519, member: 22923"] [b]Crash Stories[/b] Porkchop here, to my knowledge I have had 3 concusions; 1976 @ jawbone, I buried the front wheel in a subterranean rut causing an instant face plant/rag-doll, end of riding that day, type of crash. That one was mild, good to ride the following day. 1979 racing @ Saddleback park: second moto of the day, whilst chasing the lead rider down the big hill after the first turn, the leader crashed 1/2 way down the hill & I landed on the guys flat spinning bike, that was skidding down the hill without him on it, luckily for him. The rest of this tale is ugly. I came to after aprox 15 minutes with the medics using smelling salts on me, with no recollection of any of the previous events. It took about a month before I could stand up without help, & many years to recall any of the details of that day ( 3 friends confirmed what happened). They told me ,I sounded like a parrot, asking the same question every 5 minutes, etc. I stopped racing for a year, and took up snow skiing instead of racing. Then I managed to knock myself silly doing that too at Mammoth Mountain, 1980, only a minor concussion but enough to give me a nasty head ache for the next 24 hours. These days when I hit the slopes, I wear my helmet, Sonny Bonno would probably still be with us had he been wearing a helmet. Today I call concussions scrambled brains, like the rhyme humpty dumpty, getting healed up from a brain injury is like trying to put an egg yoke back together again, once injured 100% recovery can take a very long time, if it happens at all. This stresses the importance of good helmets & wearing one during all hazardous activities. :bang: Best Regards, Porkchop... P.S. This may explain a few things.... :coocoo: To date I have had no seizures, but how would I know? :whoa: [/QUOTE]
