    Actually I was fully awake, coherent and walking around wanting to get back on my bike and ride. At least until what they told me happened started to sink in. The helicopter medics after talking to my friends put my neck in a brace and strapped me to a board. The only thing of the helicopter ride I got to see was the medic and 2 air vents in the ceiling above me. At least it only lasted a couple of minutes. But they didn't take that neck brace off for about 4 hours waiting for cat scan results. By the second or third hour it was driving me nuts. By the way, the ceiling in the examination room above my bed has 3,142 dimples in it.

    I tried to keep my sense of humor at the hospital. But I started to be a little more careful what I said when I asked for M&Ms and they started to bring in an enema :-s.

    The "mistress" is fine. She's currently at the bike doctors getting a checkup just to be sure.

    Thanks. The sucky part is I've never ridden the Kenter Whoops, and never even got to them. Screwed up the very first baby whoop. The other part that sucks is usually when I screw up I learn from my screwup. But I don't recall what happed so I'm not sure what I screwed up :?:.

    Fast and complete recovery soon, ken!
    I had a good crash at the kenter and also saw people fall or crash like you.
    just bad luck. And you'll come back soon and clean that jump!

    [jeffj] I had one of my U17 girl soccer players pass out for a couple minutes after torquing her knee (ACL - nothing to do with her head). She let a blue streak fly that would make a Raider fan blush, then her head slightly jerked to one side and out she went. I think sometimes it's just a traumatic situation that can cause that.

    Glad it doesn't appear to be anything serious.

    [bigdmtb] That's why I don't play soccer.:protest:
