Bye to rosscofats doc.

We were riding tonight and on the way home ross got hit by a car. He is all right, cut and bruised, but nothing broken ( we think). His doc is done. Frame broken, fork broken, wheel and so on. Luckly ross is ok. MAde for an intresting night. Ross will have much more to say.

[Shocker]

ICBC covers cyclists most of the time.

[schoenrock]

good to hear your alright!

[Late Bloomer]

On the bright side, you're getting alot of shitty luck behind you in a very brief span - and you're still alive to talk about it!:)

Sucks about the bike and hope there's no major injuries - healing vibes regardless.

[aShogunNamedMarcus]

Already?? Thats some messed up shiat - 2 of the finest hardtails, gone.

Heal up Ross. You can borrow my Imp :)

[AnTi-TrAiL_nAzI]

You can borrow my Imp :)

I was going to throw a karma comment like that in but figured not when he's down.

And if he shall be smite down by lightning on my Imp, then so let it be written, so let it be done.... to kill the first born pharoah's son...

[Faithless]

You asshat.

[Putty]

what hasn't happened to that guy?

healing vibes rossco...did you break a mirror in the near past?

[Jaysin]

Anti----what the fuck are you trying to prove???

Ross---That's unreal bad luck man.....some good karma has to come your way soon, you've been getting shit on for a while now

[ShoreIH]

This is secondary....but can anything be saved from the bike? Im assuming since the fork was broken its the front wheel that is done?

[Rosscofat]

yup im in shock as i type this chatteer teeth owwiieee :( i very sad :( owwiiee

[Rosscofat]

front hub headset seatpost chain bar stem alll good...

yup got hit so hard my shoes fell off

[DERT]

Holy Ross, that so horrible bro....I will put a memorial on my doc on I go pick it up

[biking_cam]

ohhhh man. how could so much happen in so little time... will ICBC or the driver be paying for a new ride and parts?

[M@M]

i wouldnt him, next thing you know, he will be struck by lightining.. maby god is gettin him back for his underaged girlfiend
ross, that sux, hope u heal up fast and get a new ht soon.
anti, the point of this forum is to send healing vibes to ross, not to knock him. we dont care if you hate him, this is the worst thing to happen to anybody, so just give him a break.

[Ninja]

Ross, wow, you have some crazy bad luck. I hope you're over the worst of this unlucky spell. :S

[Rosscofat]

meh not really bad luck I nailed my biggest abubica with ian that night and had tons of fun :( just luck of the draw. I dunno how or what icbc will do or whatever oh well im just beaten up badly but im ok helmt saves lives

holy shit ross, are you sure you're ok? sorry about the bike, but it can be replaced. what exactly happened?

[Rosscofat]

well it was 100% my fualt


I pulled into cross walk i sware I checked for traffic. and well BAM 80kph or so a van clips my bike and me and he drags my bike a good 100 150ft down the road.. with me laying on the side of the road goin.. FUCKK MY BIKE!!!!

[Hip Hop!]

pedestrians have the right away. he should have seen you at the cross walk and stopped

[Nick2468]

he was on a bike so hes not a pedestrian

[inshane]

Heal up buddy :)

[NooNer]

eff. bad luck of the draw bro. at least you're still kickin.

[Professor Frink]

Oh Ross:(.

[Rosscofat]

yup I got FUKKKEED right up dunno how I didnt die or break anything haha oh well fun night anyways :D

[apeshape]

From the looks of the photos he clipped yer back wheel. He must have spun you out pretty good going 80kph. Yer lucky you didn't get dead. Heal up.

[schoenrock]

i just checked out those photos and you dont look to good either. i'm not into pulling out the sue card but for getting nailed by a driver who was speeding and not paying attention i would be calling a lawyer for sure. put a claim in and protect yourself! it can take several years until you start feeling some of the affects from this (back pains, migraines, etc) and could result in yourself becoming permanently unemployed and if its not on record you will be getting squat except a small welfare (cpp) check every month.

[Rosscofat]

cant my fualt i was in the cross walk at the wrong time. cant judge it. so whatever.

i have the backpains already have migrains he was paying attention. he was driving throught a green light. I was 100% in the wrong. no 2 ways about it

ouch, that really sucks!
you must be hurting bad....you did go get checked out right?

[ReCkLeSs RiDeR]

wow that is pretty major. sucks about the bike but the important part is that ross is ok

[freerider guy]

Everybody is talking about bad luck. Just think of how lucky you are to have not been hit straight on. You wouldn't be able to go on the board to tell us of your luck, somebody else would have to.

[aShogunNamedMarcus]

Him doing 30 k over the limit (I think 3 road is 50) would be a different story in court. I'm with the other people - at least explore your legal options.

And the offer still stands to borrow my Imp if you need a ride bro :)

[stillgoing]

Rosscofat:

I'm glad you're OK. I'm especially impressed by your admitting to 100% fault. What a mature attitude. If more people did this, the world would be a better place.

Those that are yelling SUE should stop for a moment and think about it. Would they be so quick to be telling the guy that takes a bail up some of our trails to sue? That's the kind of thing that will be the end of riding -just like the DH race in Ontario that was just cancelled.

Again, though: I'm glad you are not hurt bad. Sorry if my comments here hijack this thread.

[schoenrock]

Him doing 30 k over the limit (I think 3 road is 50) would be a different story in court.

contact a lawyer and find out.

[Trini-dad72]

Oi, I saw you guys! I was driving south on Granville, at around 8pm or so. I saw you three at Granville and 33rd there abouts! I had a feeling that I should've tracked you cats down and given y'all a ride. And I am glad that your ok Ross.

[cadence220]

Dewd. Sorry about the incident. I've only been a member here for a short time and have noticed you have had not had entriely the best of times recently. Heal up so you can get back up there. Ice it!:agree: mike

totally different scenario, you can not compare the two incidents.
a strong majority of people in the lower mainland can not or shouldnt be driving and the province does nothing on correcting the problem. you are not suing the person directly because thats what a thing called insurance is protecting you from (to an extent).

[Rosscofat]

I CANT SUE its my frickin mistake! he did everything right. hell ATLEAST he STOPED!

holy crap dont even get me started on Trail nazi.. wow.. :stupid:

[Jerry-Rig]

props for taking responsiblility for your own actions.... its rare someone actually admits it was their own fault.

I'd say your super lucky you weren't road kill. You should buy a 6/49 ticket.

healing vibes sent your way

[Rosscofat]

yeah everyone should take responsability.. hell what if he crashed into a another car and killed someoen that would b my fualt. and id get charged for whatever... lol

[polytics]

It still seems to be rare these days that anyone takes responsibility for their own actions.

Sorry to hear about your new ride... but serious props for being (pardon the sexism) a man about it.

[derwood]

he IS a man...nothing sexist about that.

Fat....be happy you're still alive....really....Ive lost friends to speeding cars.

Live every day like its your last.

[Jamie_k]

pedestrians have the right away. he should have seen you at the cross walk and stopped

Yes by the laws of the road but by the laws of physics. Its alittle different. technically its not your fault but i always wait because alot people dont even stop for you unless your 70+.

Jamie

[derwood]

Now that I think about it,me and the dogs almost got hit by a car AGAIN today while legally crossing Seymour Pkwy.......

Now that I commute to surrey and back I can officially say that most drivers around here dont belong on the road.

[IFO]

:beer: supa healin vibes to u Rossco...

your a good one...

[Scott C]

Yes by the laws of the road but by the laws of physics. Its alittle different. technically its not your fault but i always wait because alot people dont even stop for you unless your 70+.

Jamie

Well, it sounds like it was at a light, with the light green for the vehicle. The vehicle shouldn't stop, as it has the right of way. I could understand if it was just a regular crosswalk, no light, but it sounds like it is Ross' fault.

Healing vibes to ya Ross.

[*GiMpY_jR*]

ahh shitty deal man
i have as bad bike bike luck as you

bike falls off lift at sunpeaks (tottaled)
bike stolen at ben lee (gono)

healin vibes to you man
then at bear mtn my dad's truck was broken into

so thats the 3 strikes for me so im good
hopefully nothin else happens more or let it be minor!

[Rosscofat]

yup hahaha biking for me sux hahaha atleast I got pinky

[Shredded]

it is almost as if there is some force out there preventing u from having to bikes...haha

hope all turns out well.

[tuck3r]

shitty deal dude, hope ya feel better soon.

remember kiddies, look both ways before crossing the street

[barry]

this proves my theory that you are indestructable.
sucks about the bike tho... :(

Ross

Get well soon, if your still bikeless when you heel you can ride my daughter transition top

[Rosscofat]

:O yay!!! thanks tyson! thats fuckin rad of you. but it looks like karma comes in big packages and 99% of all stuff is getting replaced!

[schoenrock]

:O yay!!! thanks tyson! thats fuckin rad of you. but it looks like karma comes in big packages and 99% of all stuff is getting replaced!
i guess that'll help ya feel a bit better! it's about time all this bad shit turns around. who's picking up the tab?

[Rosscofat]

credit card company :D

[schoenrock]

credit card company :D
insurance from the original credit card purchase or are you just gonna pay for it yourself?

[Lady Gravity]

credit card company :D

sponsored by visa? :lol:

[Rosscofat]

apprently some sorta 90 days money back? hahaha i buy it credit card smash it and get my money back hahaha

[schoenrock]

apprently some sorta 90 days money back? hahaha i buy it credit card smash it and get my money back hahaha
nice call, i pay my $10 fee evry year for purchase insurance and even though i have it i would probaly forget about using it. the only time i remember is when they invoice me my annual bill.

[adam45]

Ross, glad to here your OK!

Everyones going on about your bad luck? Your the luckiest guy I heard of. Your alive, your credit cards buying a new bike, you already have a current parts list, and everyone cares how your doing. Whats unlucky? I'm hopng you'll take it easy awhile to make sure you didn't tweek something, but back in the saddle they say.

Hope your good luck continues.

[switch]

well it was 100% my fualt


I pulled into cross walk i sware I checked for traffic. and well BAM 80kph or so a van clips my bike and me and he drags my bike a good 100 150ft down the road.. with me laying on the side of the road goin.. FUCKK MY BIKE!!!!How can you be 100% at fault when the driver is going 80kph?

[Rosscofat]

cuz i not 100% sure she was but im 100% sure I was in the wrong place he was in the right place. we both couldent see eachother till it was to late

[Couch_Surfer]

First off - glad you're okay Ross, judging by your photos, you got lucky by not getting tagged head on.

If the individual who hit you was indeed speeding (and someone can correct me on this, but I believe that RCMP can determine this based on skidmarks at scene), then that individual does indeed carry a measure of culpability. Whether you want to check into that or not is your call.

and again - glad you're okay enough to be typing, those photos are chilling.

[Rosscofat]

its true. but he had a full load.. and the bike would of slowed him down more cuz his front wheel stoped spinning cuz it was ontop of my frame and rear wheel hahaha.

Theres no skid marks before he hit me.. it happend in less then 1/2 of a second.

[toy4-jay]

holy shit dude...

thats scary.

healin vibes to you and i'm unloading all my excess good karma onto you.

i haven't been riding recently because of exams so i figure you could use it.

and your DOC was hawt.... :cry:


p.s. its quite commendable you're admitting to it. Props dude, like a few others said, it takes a big person to man up and admit that.

[Rosscofat]

:) I hope good karma comes in huge packages

anyways ross, your fault or not, that sucks. healing vibes

[Rosscofat]

lol I dont get why its such a big deal to take the blame.. if its your fualt then its yours. i feel horrible for him I dunno how he must of felt.. he could of killed me and it would of been my fualt. :(

[Bukkake]

Ouch! Welcome to the club Ross. Mine was similar, no brakes before impact but I got hit directly from behind while going up a hill by a car doing like 60kmh at least.

Rest up, heal up, then get yourself to a chiro or a physio and get checked out at least. Cars are heavy and a lot of stuff could have been knocked out of place. Even if you can't claim partial fault ICBC may pick up the medical fees. It would be worth looking into for your healths sake.

[Rosscofat]

meh medical is covered I got full medical from my work :D so i go get as much drugs as possible. im goin to cyro tomorrow and to check out my foot for infection its so swollen I cant even put it in a shoe :(

but ive been hit worse then this so. im not worried about my body

[switch]

Young chics dig scars.

[Rosscofat]

not this many.. hahahha

2 words Ross: Body Armour.

I guess it'll just mean we'll have to get stoked on building up your new bike when you get all the parts in to Caps again.

[Rosscofat]

well acuttly only thing caps is gunna bring is is rim 1 tire spokes and frame meh nothing much oh and rotor but apprently u guys got that stuff in so its all good :D oh and 1 funn bolt hahaha... NO way would i wear body armor street riding! lol

[Rosscofat]

I dont like how ppl keep telling me to sue him. it dont matter he should of been in control. idiots always wanna screw everyone over.. fuck atleast he STOPED... if I was alone.. id b fucked. i thank everyone who was there.. and yup who would of known.. i got VERRRYYY LUCKY!

[danny]

Good luck on the healing, and I think very highly of you for being able to say it's your fault and not trying to point blame at others.

[BoostedXT]

Get well soon man. Like said before bikes are replaceable, you my friend are not.

props for taking blame...people who know they are in fault often times dont say so.

Heal fast, ride soon.

Ouch Ross...sounds like you'll be out of the saddle for a little bit. I'm glad to hear that you're in good shape for the most part.

If you're looking for a DOC from Caps, you better get a move on. They're selling like hot cakes and you never know who might decide to buy the last one :agree:

[Rosscofat]

apprently DOC is sold out for 6 months :( karma got shit kicked again :( oh well :( maybe its a sign from god to stop what im doin right now... haha maybe buy a dually... hahahah ohh god no.

Man, you have NO luck. Now you're getting sued? Did you do any damge to his car?

[Rosscofat]

nah. sued for damages to van.. i fucked it right up :D

[Bukkake]

Rossco vs. Van =

1 messed up van
1 slightly more messed up Ross

[derwood]

You do know that you should have filed a police report,right?

Actually.....go file one right now,or try to.

[M@M]

nah. sued for damages to van.. i fucked it right up :D
just get a freind of yours who knows a lawyer to go with u and say the guy is your dad. itttl make the guy go away quick

[Rosscofat]

i did file one.. the cops came and shit.

[Rosscofat]

update. hahah the man got nothing. he had no reason to sue and got laughed.

[Lady Gravity]

update. hahah the man got nothing. he had no reason to sue and got laughed.

good. he's an idiot to think he could in the first place.

[gearwh0re]

why are we calling this driver an idiot again

(i don't know the details of rossco's story and the following is HYPOTHETICAL)

you are driving and someone bolts out in front of your car (on a bike lets say) and you smack em your vehicle has 400 bucks damage... the guy on the bike is at fault , he lived and is going to be ok

you drive the car home, call icbc to report the accident and they tell you the biker isn't covered and if you want the car fixed you have to sue. what are you guys gonna do?

[Rosscofat]

exactly. but he didnt SUE FOR DAMAGES TO HIS VAN. he sued for him. 1000$ Lost work time Trama and punitive damages.

[adam45]

I,ve had 3 NOT MY FAULT accidents with my truck in the last 4 months. ICBC wrote off my truck twice and I've fixed it up nice. Will post pics of the flat deck with custom bike rack soon going to paint on Monday.

Anyways the point is that most (Automobile) drivers are in way to much of a hurry. It creates a situation where snap decisions are made routinely. It also creates lots of flippin' loosers who can't admit they did something wrong. If Mr. Van was speeding or fiddling with his cell phone or picking his nose, how would Ross know. It all happened very fast I'm sure. Theres no certain way to tell if it was 50/50 fault. Mr. Vans bloody lucky and should actually count his blessings not try to cash in. IMHO.

[aShogunNamedMarcus]
