[@jtconner4549]

tyvek05 he seized up which means his brain shut down and restarted. That's pretty close to death man. I've been in a similar situation.

[@Christophhanderson]

He didnt seize at all? He literally only got knocked out. He was fine.

[@Jackwhoknows]

It's called a Decortate Response, where after head trauma arms flex inward towards the chest, it's a 3 on the Glasglow Coma Scale. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abnormal_posturing

[@Simnettnutrition]

I always thought it was called the fencing response. Either way, it's scary.

[@Chris-tc7gk]

What happened to Dave's arms when he was concussed is called the fencing response and is an indication that his concussion was very serious. Please remember that directly after concussion you are at serious risk of massive brain injury. There is a very real chance that the next knock you receive can kill you. Please be careful everyone.

[@filthyphilbrown4166]

We all know that you're secretly Andy Anderson. Lol.

[@uniontoke420]

This thread of posts is brought to you by.. Cancer..

[@ianturnbow7011]

+alex h I completely agree with you, but I don't feel that most people use the word "faggot" with homophobic sentiment. The word has become more of an insult to people acting less masculine and/or in an attempt to insult someone for having unpopular beliefs. I'm not justifying its usage, but I don't generally think people use the word today in a homophobic context. Plus, we're on a KZbin comment section, of course there's going to be derogatory words and phrases used - that's kind of the nature of the internet with anonymity.

[@leodipaolo1890]

+skatersssss GTFO skateboarding so about having fun not judging others, if ur not being sarcastically u are what's wrong with the skate culture.

[@DakaONER94]

this is what its all about guy. Getting straight back up and conquering yourself and the spot

[@gannonrinehart6077]

Dude fucking props to Dave and the editing crew. This is my favorite My War video. As a 23 year old who always wanted to skate growing up and just never did, I finally am. And how Dave describes landing a trick only lasts like 1.2 seconds but can make your whole day or whole year, I feel that. Obv his tricks are much much much better than mine, but I feel what he's saying. Practicing FS180s for 14 hours and finally landing one, it feels like you're conquering the world

[@GreenMachineOG]

hell yeah man, I'm 26 and only been skating a year. Feels good to land something you've been trying for ages. good luck out there :)

[@gannonrinehart6077]

[@evan937]

Evreyone going on about Figgy big spin board sliding that rail after a couple cracked ribs. Big deal. My family member had 3 fractured ribs. Shits fine after a month. This guy hits his head so hard that his brain goes into a state of shock then proceeds to get up and land his trick right after! his guy is a true bad ass Skater!

[@cooolpotato]

Seriously - and not even the kind of knocked out where your eyes shut and your body's in a state of rest. This guy got fucked right up. Nothing but respect for Dave.

[@Cozbe]

my 70 year old grandma broke two of her ribs dirt biking and still went to work for two weeks without seeing a doctor, slamming your face into the ground and still going for the trick is insane compared to some broken ribs.

[@zeroireland]

Evan93 Breaking your ribs is absolute agony. Maybe it heals quick but it’s one of the most painful injuries you can have.

[@MrHappyfacee]

It was different day he landed it. Orange undies on knockout day and blue undies the day he landed it

[@ComandaKronikk]

I broke my left and right side of my ribs a cupla months ago skating then when i was better i went skating again- slammed my temple on the concrete got a concussion.. im still feeling dizzy and fucked from that head smack and it was like 3 weeks ago.

This series "my war" is cool, reminds me of my early days, my first like year of skating. There was a 4 set at a school that had really wide stairs so it created a pretty big gap. I'd sit in school all day just thinking about those stairs. I'd brush off everything and everyone and head strait for that set for several days until I finally nailed it. I'll never forget that
