Adam, Mancub, Shannon the Cannon, et. al. visited the Claw Ramp in San Antonio over the weekend for a session. On Adam’s second run, he mysteriously slammed on a carve through one of the ramp’s corners and broke his two front teeth. He visited an emergency room and also a dentist and is now looking at perhaps $13,000 in reconstructive surgery. His employer has him covered with medical and dental insurance, and both companies are now battling to push responsibility onto the other provider. Hopefully, it’ll get sorted soon and he can get his chompers replaced.
Regal Cinemas is running a benefit of some sort today (Sept. 28th). If you go to a Regal Theater with 3 cans of food, you can get in for free and get a free bag of popcorn. Regal is on my shitlist for running commercials before movies and even describes its paying patrons as a ‘Captive Audience’ to would-be advertisers. Even so, this food drive is a great opportunity to see the new Jackass movie for pretty cheap. Oh, Little Miss Sunshine and This Film Has Not Been Rated is playing at the Arbor, too…..
Here’s a list of Regal theaters in Austin:
- Lakeline Mall 9
- Arbor Cinema @ Great Hills
- Gateway 16
- Westgate 11
- Metropolitan 14
Sounds like James Juneau, Kevin Trayhan, Peyton, and perhaps Andy Mack are heading down to the Cayman Islands to skate the Black Pearl in a couple weeks. James just got a high definition video camera, so hopefully this excursion will be documented. Already he’s shot footage of the cops ejecting him from the popup pool.

All Adam wants for christmas is his 2 front teeth.. Okay, bad joke. Seriously, get well soon adam, were all pulling for a speedy recovery and quick resolution from those evil insurance companies. Man, i’m always hearing about people gettin injured at the claw. Someone call in a paranormalist (?) to break the curse

I did the same thing at the old skate park off Todd Ln. Blowing out your teeth hurts & looks worse. Best of luck, Adam.

i deal with the worker’s comp insurance companies but i’m sure that regular health insurance is just as bad at denying claims and whatnot.
don’t let up on them though. just keep hounding them to give you answers and if those aren’t satisfactory ask what their appeals process is like.
squeaky wheel gets its front teeth

yeah ive been back and forth with my health insurancee a bit and as of today it doesnt look so promising. not only do they not have a provider in network anywhere around austin, they say that if they do pay, they could go after the owner of the claw, where i hurt myself. so if that becomes the case i will choose to forgo the expences on my own so that the claw will remain unthreatened. i should find out soon what will take place. i have a loan on standby. you guys will no longer recognize me i’ll be so good lookin. you will be able to tell its me though, i will be the dude smilin alot. there you have it
adam
