Not bad, but not right either(I know, you guys knew that). LOL I still have a bad headache after a full week since the tumble. I went to the doc on base and he said I definately had a concussion(no shit). I will get a CT scan with dye(doesn't sound like fun) Thursday. I am having a little trouble with focusing on work too.
Ok, for the guys who do not know yet, heres what happened...I did roll up the 420 off a dune on the 3rd day there. The buggy got minimal damage and I got a concussion.
It was pretty windy overnight and left fresh razorbacks everywhere.
The wind changed the last dune along a ridge before dropping down on a long thin dune sometime that night. When I came up over the nice rounded top of the dune, the bottom just went away. I went 119ft before the first impact, which was on the top rear of the cage and proceded to go end over end several times and landing on the wheels(of course) 275ft at the bottom. I happen to have two cameras running, one the front and Hoser's helmet cam on the rear. The front one dislodged and landed in the sand but the helmet cam stayed put. The violent rolling did not allow the camera to run until I was just finishing the last roll. A few seconds after I roll out onto the desert floor, I started the engine and take off around the side of the dune then up it. When I get to the top, I stop and back up several feet then go back down partially. Thats when the quad guy I was riding with found me. I stop, get out and start talking(some jibberish), staggering around, and inspecting the damage. Dented the lid, 8" chunk out of the rear fender, bent the radiator into the head net but the cage looks straight.
Next he goes and gets the missing camcorder from the crash site and returns with it still running. We then walk up to the edge where I launched from with his camera taking pictures of the impacts. This is where I start remembering things since going over the edge. I remember going off the edge and thinking...aw shit, not again. Then I was standing there looking down. I lost out on about 10 minutes, and I still have a bad headache. I was never really out, just do not remember anything. Good thing I had the tape to show me.
Still waiting on some more pictures to get sent to me. I will post the vid clips, forward and from the rear, soon. Here is a quick picture of me on the trike where I drove off the dune and the cameraman is where the 420 came to rest.
:shock:
