I haven't ever tried it myself. There's a track about 45 minutes from my house with a bunch of tricks on it but I haven't been there yet. Tim at the bike shop said you shouldn't go alone. Must not be as easy as some make it look. :D

Matt go see a doctor now. Head and neck injuries some times turn out to be more serious than they first appear.:(

The base Hospital is closed..I asked my dad( he's a nurse) about it and he said I'm fine. I should probably go to the doc anyway.:rolleyes: I'm feeling alot better now..It was an amazing biff though, even if I have to say so myself..The one time I made it all the way over was a total blast!! The teeter-totter is about 3 feet high..Not high by 'core standards, but high for my first try.

Ouch. If any headaches come of this in the near future, definitely go and see a doc. Sometimes these things can have lingering effects.

If your headache's persist, then go see a doctor. I crashed on my face this year and i rode for all the way home, so if your tough enough then you shouldent need the doctor!!! lol:D

Hey Fuby..

Maybe you should invest in some body armour...I sometimes glue egg boxes to my person just for this purpose

Cost effective too! :D

Or a full-face :D

Fubar, since when are you riding these crazy stunts? IIRC you were inquiring about teeter-totters a couple of months ago. If so, congrats! But seriously, go see a doc if you still have neck stiffness or a headache - you might have a concussion even with a helmet. Sorry to sound like your mother :rolleyes:
