what you experienced when you hit your head is called the fencing response. it occurs during a major concussion. I definitely think you made the right decision and the smart decision to take a step back from sponsored skating. best of luck, homie.

Tbh this is a great message for the youth, I’m an old head but I always thought the industry was corny and there’s always some Chad or Kyle as a tm it always felt like some rich dudes son was driving us around. Then u make a career outside of skateboarding and realize how much more money u can make u start to feel bad for all the stinky pro dudes that live with roommates and share socks shits low key deplorable

The free stuff in exchange for providing a skate company video clips is a one sided proposition. You take all the risk of serious injury with no salary and no worker injury protection. Makes no sense and one could argue is exploiting young skaters.

Bro you do what your comfortable doing ive been a skater for 35 years some of what these boys do nowadays honest amazing truly skilled but some of those big rails when you start tre flips down 20 stairs and crooks if it goes wrong it can go wrong big as you well know i think you all have serious guts bigtime. When i slowed down i was just getting hand rails locked in but it scared me the bigger they got the worse it got for me making it yeah great but when you fall i broke my knee cap ive never ever been through so much pain in my life. Not against wearing a helmet either it can change so quick you do what your comfortable doing not what anyone else wants you to do. All the best bro 🙌💚

Disorder could have capitalized on your injury not to be bogus but do you know how many skaters have fallen short of a skate career because of an injury? They could have named it something like the broke off series could have started with Nyjahs injuries and have a series of each skater or at the very least an episode for each skater/ injury. The thing about this series is that it would be relatable to the common / average skater and that brings in views and sales. I love jah but the fact that you’re off the team leaves a bad taste in my mouth after hearing what you went through. Plus what you went through highlights the slogan “chaos” like that sounds like a chaotic situation to be in the seizing up is wildddd. Honestly could have cared less if you did a heel flip down el toro or a grind down a rail. The fact that it’s Cole would have been enough for me to wanna keep buying disorder. Hope you get to be part of a team where you get to move freely like the company owners do because you have so much to put out and share much love 🫶🏽

It’s how it works you got a risk it to get the biscuit sometimes, and show your worth to the industry. I wish I had your talent because I definitely have what it takes, but my skate skills plateaued when I was younger. Sucks you lost the motivation to be a professional skater.
