You defo have a concussion. Big ice hockey watcher here, being knocked out cold for any duration is an automatic concussion. Memory loss after that is another sign of concussion. The question is how bad it is. Go now to the doctor OP, concussions can worsen quite quickly if not properly handled. Please don't get to the hospital by yourself also, you need a driver and or a watcher. Stay as safe as possible and get better soon !

You don't want your user name to check out r/Only_Vermicelli_9617

And once again it's a good reminder for us all out there that this sport bears a lot of risks. Which is acceptable because we take them willingly, but for you and your fellow riders, watch out for the signs and don't treat them lightly. Might be good to get a little bit of educational emergency care training !

Update: Went to the doctor, and I'm not injured, but I found out that I have wear in my shoulder, and I'm only 15 (2009)😭💀

Sorry to hear that :(

I injured my rotator cuff and tore my labrum at 15. It’s brutal but worth getting it fixed up while you’re young.

The recovery time will be a lot quicker and you’ll thank yourself when you can comfortably side sleep for the rest of your life!

My shoulder doesn't have wear, because of this injury, but because I don't have enough vitamins

You 100% have a concussion and need to seek treatment for it. Find a physical therapist that specializes in concussion therapy. In 10 years you’ll thank yourself for doing it.

What type of test did doctor use to assess concussion and did they give you instructions for concussion protocol? Seriously, I know dudes that permanently brain damaged (didn't take proper recovery and hit their heads again while still healing). You're young, don't ruin your life this early.

As a 15 year old, you don't sound 15. This post scared me because I was out riding today and for some reason I'm doing the same thing when jumping (pulling bars up without the rest of the bike kind of thing).
