Maybe I'm being a little paranoid. However, I brought this up a while back but I was wondering if it's possible to get a concussion from riding?
Reason I ask-I have a small Supercross style track at my house. I have to soften my suspension from 12 clicks to 16 or it's a little harsh. On an outdoor track locally here I would have to run the 12 clicks for best performance.
I have a big triple, couple big doubles, and a rhythm section. I notice when I land sometimes after the triple my head jolts a little. I don't bottom out, I don't wreck. I really don't land that hard but after I land my head kind of hurts. It does move around like a what seems like very small whiplash type movement but that's about it. After I'm done riding I have a headache,dizzy-feel like shit. Now granted this could be from being out of shape-over exerting myself and sweating my ass off and getting my heart rate way up there fairly quickly but I am not sure. I don't know if I am giving myself repeated concussions.
I am going to get my suspension looked at this week but has anybody ever heard of concussions from this type of scenario?

Now...your doc may have no clue what this means in the context of moto. Nonetheless, you need to see him and have it checked. Do it. Doctors orders.
