Kevin Pearce-you are amazing! Thank you for bringing awareness to the public about TBIs. I'm in year four of recovery from a TBI. It is a long difficult journey and it's so great to hear someone speak who actually gets it. Love the campaign LOVE YOUR BRAIN! I give my brain pep talks all the time! I am sharing your movie like crazy. THANK YOU!

[@bsg75husker]

Kevin is a very very important piece to the whole CTE discovery. Love Your Brain should be spread to all contact sports even more than skiing and snowboarding.

KP will always be my favorite halfpipe rider!

Kevin came to my school today... He signed my report card

[@rtoby9135]

I hope you have good grades so you can frame it.

I always wonder why this happened to him and not the other people he was riding with at the time. I don't mean why as "why did the universe have this plan for him," nothing like that, I mean what was he doing differently that set him up for this whereas Danny Davis and Scotty Lago and Shaun White never did get a TBI. Was Kevin pushing too far? Was he overconfident? Did he feel invincible? Was his risk assessment barometer off? I just don't understand what in the microdetails led Kevin to fall but not Jack and Luke Mitrani or any of the others. Were they better riders than him? Most would say no. Always wondered how this could happen to him and not a poorer rider

He's right. I haven't been able to afford the physical luxury to do that. It takes most of my energy to survive...wake up. Eat. Live.

FAMILY is huge...my family was not there. BUT MY MOTHER WAS!!!

[@christophercarney1809]

Kevin should try Transcendental Meditation, it actually does heal the brain.

[@UnintelligibleCourtneyM]

Kevin does a bunch of meditation and yoga. It does wonders for TBI. I have a TBI and found out about it on his Love Your Brain website.

AnEpilepticsVlog with all respect, How that happend to you?

[@UnintelligibleCourtneyM]

knalpatsboem I fell and hit my head while I was in college pulling an all nighter - studying of course. I try not to make it sound dramatic, but it kinda was crazy. I was in a coma for a month then a minimally conscious state for a few months after. It't been a year since, but I've made HUGE strides.

Red1676 6:18 he was wearing a helmet actually...

[@l.ellei.sorensen4121]

...it's love.

[@l.ellei.sorensen4121]

Too bad Kevin was referenced to a book, "In the Blink of an Eye" referring to editing...not what's on the platform here, now!

eating nuts and fish is good for your brain. I eat them for that reason. Also thinking takes lots of energy. Deep breaths are good. and protect your brain like Pearce says :p ... when i was small i thought microwaves killed brain cells so i stood around the corner or behind the fridge when microwaving things haha, idk if its true i still do im 18. I also hear that getting hit on the head kills brain cells so i never hit myself on the head and ive always cringed when someone does that to themselves.... U hit urself cuz u think that ur dumb and ur making yourself dumber... head banging is bad for your brain stem. I guess ive always loved my brain and still do, Im pretty smart in math :D but im also lazy :L. Im ahead in math by 1-3 years. 3 ahead of regular scrubs (if they continue math in college for 3 years) and 1 year ahead of smart kids.

[@DutchNewbJr]

you sound like u head a brain injury
