Anyone else get headaches from concrete drops?
- Thread starter sanjuro
- Start date
I think that tonite is an acceptable alternative spelling. sanjuro, you're probably giving yourself a minor concussion, but don't worry, you're from California and no one will notice... 
Yep, I get headaches doing drops to flat sometimes. Doesn't seem to be every one, though.
But then, I might be a pvssy too

i used to get headaches when i would hit jumps or drops with a bmx bike..and sometimes still do with the suspension. its normal i think.
ah just take a tylenol or a advil and you good to go!
I think its normal. I get headaches on drops to flat too. it just rattles my bones

the Inbred:
The pain was exactly how you described, but it was mostly at the top of my head, and it would hurt so bad that it would almost fold me up.
I went to see a neurologist, and my scans came up neg. so he gathered that it was probably either a nerve getting pinched in my neck causing the pain to radiate up to the top of my head OR muscles in the neck/back of head (the ones that hold your head up - like when you are in a tuck or landing a drop) were compressing a nerve or vein temporarily causing the pain.
I do a lot of neck muscle strengthing exercises & I also make sure to loosen up the neck / back / shoulders before AND after every ride.
Haven't had much trouble since.
...this is EXACTLY what used to happen to me after a 2 hr. session of riding hard and maintaining a really low tuck on my bike while keeping my head cranked back to see forward.

I've only done one concrete drop, and it involved a car hitting me....and I did get a headache
That sharp pain you feel from landing a flat drop is called severe lameness. Do it repeatedly and it will become chronic.
if it hurts, do it harder. the problem will usually solve itself.
Beer.
No wiat, I meant to say Advil.

pretty much everything gives me a headache
Are you landing smoothly?
This forum gives me a headache. 
only when I hit it on the pavement.
Sounds like advanced head cancer to me. Get your affairs in order mate. Can I have your liver?
does this mean that N8 might get the "equipment" he's always wanted but never was able to get?
I don't think they do brain and cock transplants at the same time.
What become canadian?
It hurts when I pee.
This migh help your headaches during riding. Might get a headache looking at it though.

Five foot to flat on the hard tail wears on me but no headaches.
Drink more beer before riding.

Dehydration?
It is 49.2 pounds actually.
Wow. It looks like 60lbs...
My hardtail, broke, so I have to ride urban on my Bullit. It's kind of fun, although my shock seems to bottom out really easily. I actually got up onto a picnic table with it a few weeks ago (I used to only be able to do it on my HT).
