fuck you, road rash!!!

Pegasus · #1 (**permalink**) Sep 25, 04

ok so i'm out with a few friends longboarding at this park, and we saw this newly paved road nearby, so we decided to ride it.

we walked up the hill and my buddy and i went down.. i started further up than he, and as im coming down the street, this van pulls right out PAST the stop sign into the middle of the intersection and STOPS dead center! so since it was dark, i didn't want to take the chance to go in front of him, in case he didnt see me.. so i took the turn and went behind him..

now, i EASILY would've made it, but there decided to be a bunch of big rocks and gravel just sitting there in the middle of the intersection which i ran over and fucking bailed hardcore.. the board slipped right from underneath me and i rolled oh, maybe 5 or 6 times, i think either the first or second tumble, my head smacked the pavement, and i momentarily blacked out, and saw multi-coloured stars all over the place. i got up and walked to the corner and laid(sp?) on the grass and i started sweating profusely (even though it was fucking cold out and my hands were almost frozen just moments before..) and i had gone so pasty white i looked like a ghost..

ive got gashes on pretty much every limb, i count 8 right now, there's probably more..
anyways a couple minutes later i hear this noise coming from the street the van came out of, turns out my board is finally coming down the hill.. that thing must've fuckin FLEW right from underneath me..

the transit ride home was full of strange looks and 'are you okay?'s and 'you should go to the hospital.'s.. ppl kept on talking to me on the bus and most of them i had no idea what they were saying... like cant you people leave me alone? i wanna listen to my music :(

i can barely move my arms and hands, because of all the open wounds... heh
i have no idea how i'm gonna be able to work tomorrow...

my friend thinks i had a concussion.. ive never had one so i have no idea what happens when you do. anyone know what you're supposed to do when u have one?

Yeah, the best thing to do would be to have some one wake you up every 2 hours tonight to make sure you dont slip[ into a coma or other temporary unrousable sleep.

^ dumb question. does it seem like hes alright?

anyways do what quit suggested, and when you wake up make sure you have good motor skills and coordination still, otherwise there could be problems. and take it fuckin easy.
