on may 17 2008, i was riding my old fashioned skateboard down a steep road when i reached the speed my board can handle,when i went realy fast,my board got extremely wobbly.i jumped off so i wouldnt bang into a car or have a faceplant,but when i jumped,my feet couldnt run at the same speed.i went down on the side of my head,skinned my arm and knee,and had a concussion.i went to my uncles house to get my skin fixed and after that went to the hospital.i couldnt even remember anything afterr my fall.i couldnt even remember that i walked home.well at the hospital,i got a cat scan of my head to make sure nothing is wrong with my brain.it came back normal.jeez that fall damaged the side of my head bad.i didnt have any protective gear while going at like 20mph on my skate board!!!!my head still hurts.anyone else got a concusion falling off a skate board at like,a high speed?im only 11 years old 
.my uncle ran to help me.after that,i forgot what happend.my mom freaked out at me not rememberin
Not on a skateboard, no but on my bike at your age. I was trying to break my speed record on my bike and hit some gravel. I barely remember biking home and vaugely remember my neighbors taking me to the ER.
Just be careful of your head for the next few weeks. Head injuries are nothing to mess with. I lost a friend because he decided to play football against doctors orders two weeks after a serious concussion. He was tackled and hurt his head again and his body just stopped. He had too much swelling in his brain. I'm not trying to scare you. Just be careful. My friend was only 18.

The headache after a concussion is a pain and it takes a long time for it to go away. You do need to be cautious and follow directions. When I was your age I had numerous concussions and didn't care and then a few years later had more and now I get migraines and now have headache's more frequently. So you really need to try to sleep the headache off and do nothing till the headache goes away.
