Thanks for your kind words everyone. In my surfing days (I do want to start again) I augered-in on an overhead backside left at HB State. It looked so clean and I wasn't too late. It just hit the bar hard and jacked w/o warning. I caught an edge and was thrown forward so fast I couldn't get my hands out and my head hit the bar instantly--it was so shallow. I thought in my stunned daze, "oh, oh, wheelchair...". Fortunately, that wasn't the case and I praised God for sparing me from that. I did suffer a huge abrasion from my hairline (took a chunk of hair out) down my forehead around my left eye and onto my cheek. Looked like a beltsander was applied to me. Be careful all.
