Skibike Crash at 53.4 mph
Straight-lining a black diamond when things get out of hand. GPS said the maximum speed was 53.4 miles per hour, which was immediately before the crash. Concussion inducing.

It has brakes just as much as any ski or snowboard does though. Carve to slow down.
I crashed earlier that day messing up a 10ft/3m jump, and hit my head pretty hard, so a minor concussion there. Afterwards felt ill and nauseated all day, so there was probably some cranial swelling. I wasn't going to be concerned unless I started vomiting. Then this happened. My nausea went away and I had a pretty bad headache. I went home and stayed around people and up for the next 13 hours to keep an eye on myself, and my situation wasn't deteriorating, so I went to bed.
I'm sore all over. My arm, neck, back. I've honestly wondered what it would be like jumping out of a vehicle at highway speeds. I guess this is it.

Were you alright afterwards?
