i got t-boned in the fucking PARKING LOT by some woman blabbing on her cell phone. took a big chunk out of my passenger door and fucked up the back door as well. What in the hell! fucking people.
anyway. one good thing happened today, we launched http://www.kickfliplivin.com and I think it turned out pretty dope if I must say so. BUT IN THE PARKING LOT> DAMN! i better not have to pay a deductable for that.

dope site, shitty deal with the parking lot
you should rip her tires every morning

sweet site - although the video is taking FoEva to load (maybe it's on my end).
Have Shaun do 50/50 grinds down her hood then kick flip to revert on her cell phone.

haha. thanks guys. it was pretty sweet 'cause we basically had creative freedom with that bad boy.
and it's funny 'cause i know that i will see that fucking lady and her car in the parking lot every day now i bet. and it's going to piss me off. hopefully her car insurance will cover it, but not sure since it was in a PARKING LOT. still kills me : )
oh, and the video is streaming from a vendor site, so it does run a bit slow. kind of sucks but couoldn't really do anything about it : /

i always though Shaun and his brother built Shaun's site?
are you freinds with him or something?
fuck that kid can rip!.. nice site too.
- jevad0
shaun white kills it
- ozhanlion0
very nice site indeed. one thing bothering me is well it gives me feedback a little bit later. like mouse click...and wait a couple of milisecs and then execute.. so so?
- lvl_130
2cent, i think you're right about his personal site. that is http://www.shaunwhite.com
the site we did is more like a highlights kind of thing i guess.
and no kidding, the kid is amazing. oh, and no i don't know shaun personally. i'm not that cool : )
plus i'm in minneapolis and he is in cali. i wish i was in cali.
- lvl_130
ah yeah ozhanlion i know what you mean. there's a lot of random stuff going on, especially in the background, which i think makes it lag if user interaction takes place the same time as everything else. only seems to happen when there is some crazy background noise going on though me thinks. anyway, thanks for the comment.
jevad. no shit. can you say prodigy?

lvl_13, her insurance company should be contacting you very soon. Her company should cover the entire amount and your company shouldn't have to be told about the accident. Some bastard companies might drop you or raise your rates even though SHE hit YOU. Also, her ins company may ask you if your were injured or have any pains, say your back hurts a bit.... which it may in the next 2-3 days... at least mine did. They may give you a little dough as a settlement. If you do take it that means you can not turn around and sue them at a later date.
Oh, the site rips.
- lvl_130
word, word kona. i was hoping to hear something like that. heh, i didn't call my insurance but i did call hers the second after i got done talking to her. hahal, her insurance company was like"um, there is no claim filed for this" and i was like 'no shit. i'm calling you to tell you that she hit me' haha.
she stood there after i got her insurance info and acted like i was supposed to giver my insurance info. i was like 'no way, here's my name and phone number. peace out, AND PAY ATTENTION NEXT TIME.'
thanks for the compliment by the way.

nice, my prediction...
Burton is going to move Shaun from Burton boards to Forum in the next 2 years max... they really don't need him to sell more boards, the Burton brand pretty much has it locked down but man, if he started riding and pimping the Forum boards then that division for Burton is going to blow up like twice the size then we ever could have with guys like JP and Devun on Forum.

that site crashed firefox on OSX. i'll try it on IE later.
i'm all for personal freedom, but people driving whilst talking on cells are a major hazard. talk in your car but get a hands free set, for pete's sake.
pisses me off.
- lvl_130
i know sputnik. although i'm the pot calling the kettle black on that one : ) i don't call people when i'm driving, but if people call me i usually get it. but it totally is a hazard.
crashed firefox huh? i tested it here and it seems to work? fluke maybe? still working on the oh yeah section (get's updated in a month with that section live.) should be pretty cool though. i've got some ideas that should be interesting : )
- lvl_130
so an update on the accident.
I talked with her insurance company. they initially said 'well, it sounds like our fault so we will contact you again after we talked to her'
i say cool, thanks.
get a call back two hours later. the insurance company was like 'our motorist said that you were going kind of fast' i was like 'hell no. she wasn't even paying fucking attention blabbing away on her cell phone and t-boned me!'
then the insurance company was like 'well, we can cover 80% of the cost"
WHAT A FUCKING JOKE. So i have to pay 20% out of my pocket because some dumbass isn't paying attention. fucking joke.
so what do you guys think i should do? i argured with the insurance company for 20 minutes and they wouldn't budge. should i contact my insurance company and have them talk to her or what? any suggestions please?
- gruntt0
i think the answer is obvious.
you must kill her.
- brandelec0
80% heeeeeeell no!!
better not settle for that or you're a punk! if its 0% of your fault then you pay 0% come on man!!
talk to your insurance company or a lawyer or something!!
- -leah-0
whatever you do DO NOT CALL YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY.
if they are anything like they are in alberta you will get royaly fucked if they find out about you being in an accident, even if it wasn't your fault. trust me. what i would do is contact a lawyer or something to get some advice
- lvl_130
heh.
also, her insurance company was like 'we'll have an insurance adjuster come and and inspect the vehicle damage and then write you a check on the spot"
Why the fuck would i trust some guy that works for you to give me the right amount to cover damages? what the hell.
- brandelec0
leah's right.. you're in a position now where you can get royally fucked and if you don't handle it right, you might find yourself with your pants down to your ankles and a sore ass hole

i was wondering that myself. i do have a cousin that works for state farm insurance. i wonder if he could help me out. the problem is that all insurance companies are different in their procedures and such. i have progressive, has anyone else been in a situation like this and had progressive insurance? long shot but worth a try...
