Re: Dumbest thing you have ever done
Oh yeah Bear... Concussions are always fun... NOT!...<br /><br />Been there, Done that, & got the T-shirt too...<br /><br />Got a concussion from a waterski/kneeboarding incident while trying some new tricks... Tried to part the waters with my head, face first...<br /><br />Face hit the water and the tail of the board hit the back of my head (knees still strapped on the board)... I remember the sound my back made while it bent the wrong direction... The sound was like Rice Krispies, Snap, Krackle, & Pop.... LOUD!<br /><br /> Still, to this very day, do not remember some of the things that my friends said happened that day... <br /><br />That was in 1998 and I have not skied since... It scared the hell out of me... Sold almost all my gear, and my beautifully restored 1979 Ski Nautique that was my pride and joy...<br /><br />I can't put into words what kneeboarding meant to me, but just to give you an idea of how much kneeboarding meant to me, I skied for more than 15 years and in 1994 my peers in the AKA gave me the honor of Rookie of the year for which I'm still very proud.... <br />
<br />LIBERATOR KNEEBOARDS FOREVER!!! <br />I will shred again, soon...
