Could I have gotten a concussion?
Ok so I was longboarding a little while ago and I was going pretty fast. By wheels got caught on the curb and I totally just wiped out. I flew at least 5 feet and my head slammed against the concrete pretty hard. My head hurts right now.

Yes you could've gotten a concussion. You should go see a doctor as soon as you can to confirm but any headache after hitting your head is a sign of a concussion. Other concussion symptoms may include confusion, dizziness, amnesia, headache, nausea and fatigue. Can you remember what happened right before and right after you fell? Could you recall the date and where you were? If you have memory or concentration problems, have trouble sleeping or mood swings those are also later signs of a concussion. If the headache persists after 6 hours go to the hospital immediately as something far worse may have happened. If the symptoms stay or you feel more than 2 of these symptoms go see a doctor to get checked out.
