>> My perception of concession was different; way,
way different than what it is now.
Brain injury didn't even come onto the scene
until Mikey Aitken and people
like that started getting slammed
and everybody's like, "Wow, what's this?"
Seeing the accident on film and stuff, it was really good for me
because I got to see exactly what happened.
Otherwise, it would have just been a mystery;
"How the heck did that happen to me?"
When I woke up from that,
I mean everything was changed and different.
From like learning like what animals were to learning how
to count money to walking to talking and things like that.
And it would have really helped me to have somebody sit me down
and say, "Hey listen, this is what goes down
and this is what you need to do and this is why."
But at the end of the day, just an open face skate helmet
like this just isn't going to get it done.
You have to wear full-face BMX helmet,
motorcycle helmet; a full-faced helmet.
To wear anything less is just doing yourself a
huge disservice.
Our sport is cool enough.
You can wear a helmet, you know?
