Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted November 18, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted November 18, 2018 So over the last few years I've had some issues a few times when riding that up until now I just chalked up to not feeling well or something I ate but after reading a classified on DooTalk where a guy was selling a coat as he was quitting the sport because of motion sickness...I did a little research and found that it's more common than I thought and it gets worse as guys get older. Other than crazy carnival rides I don't get motion sickness....anybody else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I can’t ride the crazy coasters anymore at cedar point. Used to love them when I was younger. Hasn’t affected me on the sled though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's strange and my buddy jokingly mentioned it a few weeks ago and I laughed but like I said as I looked into it I was surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 A buddy of mine was getting sick when riding. At 1st we thought it was from the fumes from the sleds he was following. We put him up front but it didn't help. We were on a ride with a large group when he got sick. @Angry ginger went in to the next town and brought back some Dramamine. It did the trick. After that he took one before every ride and it seemed to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anler Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I only had motion sickness once in my life on lake Erie in a storm about 25 years ago. But my eyes are getting terrible. I think it's these electronic devices that are fucking them up. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eyes have gotten bad and I think that might be part of the issue....need to get an exam and get some legit glasses instead of these dollar store readers. What's funny but not really is that since I quit the sauce almost two years ago I actually feel worse....WTF.😝😫😤 Edited November 18, 2018 by Jimmy Snacks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did pretty much kill his riding. I don't know how to help him get over the problem. He rides like an old lady when it is bad. Trips are short too.

Woodtick Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 It happens to a buddy of mine. He has to eat a very small breakfast and takes motion sickness pills. He is fine by lunch. He gets it so bad,that he has to stop and puke. He isn’t a drinker, but if you saw him, you would think he is hung over. I get it if I ride real hard first thing in the morning after a few to many beers the night before. I’m fine if I don’t play in the trees or hit the twisters fast. I’m finding as I get older, I have to watch what I eat and drink the night before. Fried foods can fuck me up just as bad as the beer. I don’t puke, but get acid reflux or something.

ActionfigureJoe Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I rode with a guy like that. He'd start to get motion sickness and pull off the trail. He'd take off the gas cap and take a stiff. Then he'd stagger over to the side of the trail and hurl. He'd get back on the sled and be good for the rest of the day. It was a ritual every fucking time we'd ride together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Ooof. This sux. It’s a bit common on motor sports tho. I’ve heard people say to make sure you tighten your core on whoops and bumps (tighten up stomach muscles). Make sure you are keeping your head “tight” (no bobbleheading). Eat something light and bland before riding. A simple sandwich or something. I’ve also heard it could be the onset of vision issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
