And they both, so the hockey player had four concussions.
main areas the boxer had three this is very rare for anyone to have like more than one main like when they hook up to electrodes and stuff it could all be bs could all be whatever but it was really interesting to know that they're like there's something to this that maybe the injuries that you've had have helped you to be able to spread this weight throughout your brain i was just thinking that and then thinking i don't know if i should say that because i don't know if people would take that as advice to go smash no
That's exactly where my thought went though.
I'm like, wow, I wonder if... There's no knowledge on what our brain scans were before, if this was normal, if this was not normal, or if that was concussion related.
They were just like, hey, fun fact.
the safest places that I am generally, like most of the risk happens on the stuff that you've done routinely for a long time because you forget how dangerous it is to backflip a dirt bike or to do whatever you're doing.
Those moments that you're in that very, very like top end of your risk factor or your skill level or whatever you're doing, chances are if you made it for a long time in action sports or you're still alive today doing what you're doing,
that you've come to understand the risk reward and the calculation behind it.
And the calculation behind this biggest stunts usually means that those are going to go the best.
And you have the least, not the least chance of failure, but you've already gone through every possible scenario.
No, but the interesting part is, I can just imagine as you're going up and you have a rope,
And you're looking, you're like, OK, I'm just going to jump to that one.
And you're going to have like, you know, your muscles aren't going to give out because you're like, I'm going to do it.
But if you're like, I'm going to jump to that one.
And if I miss or, you know, that that ledger, that's right.
It takes a completely different... Now, maybe you get more energy.
Maybe you get more... Maybe it works better.
But, like, so for me, when I had my biggest mess-ups at X Games, it was because in practice, and I started doing this... Josh Sheehan, actually, with his triple backflip, he was only doing sets of three triples.
And I'm like, dude, like, you only got two more days.
Like, you're doing... You're doing nine flips a day.
