Re: Vertigo?
This happened to me once, about 10 years ago. I was sponsored to rollerblade, and a bunch of us were learning back flips in the halfpipe. It was my first day landing them, and had only landed maybe 3-5 of them until it happened.
I went up as usual and started the flip. About halfway around, I felt really sick, lost my place in the flip entirely, and I thought I was sideways. So I did what any idiot would do, and stopped spinning. I managed to land directly on my face, breaking my nose and biting my tongue.
I didn’t have the lasting sensation of nausea, but it was a really weird thing. I have been able to flip and spin and always have a very good idea of where I was in the air, but for some reason I really lost it there. After trying semi-successfully to get my face to stop bleeding, I went back and was able to land the flips again, so it seems like it was just a one time thing.
