all i have to say is ouch. essentially i landed on my head today and my lord does that screw you up. I went off a 3-4 footer, i did it successfully once not two minutes earlier. It was off a drainage ditch drain. On my second attempt i get on the top of the drain and start riding towards the drop. I botch it up royally and don't get my front wheel off and essentially i front flip off of the top and plummit to thte ground. HItting my head and then getting sprawled out. OUCH. I was so damn dizzy after that. It took a good five minutes to get back to a ride homeable state.
I've never landed on my head before, that's not pleasant, thank the good lord for my helmet. and that the landing was smushy grass.
Ouch! Do you have a headache lol?

Man, hope you're not too sore tomorrow! Isn't it amazing how some people choose NOT to wear helmets? Get well soon.

Get yourself to a hospital, you were dazed, good chance you have a concussion.

Kona is right, you were no good for five minutes. That means you hit hard enough to do damage, get checked out.
Nice positive feedback.
It may save him from permenant damage. Perhaps its too late for you? :rolleyes:
