Description - hey I am actually willing to pay a little money for your help. I was scammed. Tristan Stevenson (that was the name he gave me) decided to trade bikes with me. My super 8 for his karpiel armageddon. I sent my bike to his address, but he never sent his bike! He hasn't returned any of my emails. The address that I sent the bike to was 22017 Manning Square Dulles, VA 20166. If you know this person, please let me know, like I said, I am willing to pay, I just want my bike back. Thanks for your help!

I posted this earlier. i doubt if the guy actually had a karpiel to trade. Shyt like this really get's me. I am not usually a violent person(well sometimes) But when it comes to stealing bikes that people work really hard for i get pissed. I mean this becomes grand larceny, a felony! Is there anyway to take legal action?

I think it was WAY too loud for what the 9:30 club sound system could handle, so it was great but sounded real bad IMO. I mean it would be 10 seconds into each song before i recognized what song they were playing.... They still rocked though, but 3.5 hrs of over-saturated clutch is a lot. I think the sound wasn't mixed in right or something... I liked their show last yr with sixsty watt shaman a lot better. :D

oh, that sucks... the sound there is usually pretty good too. and 3.5 hours of *any* band might get to be a bit much ;)

No - to the contrary. IMBA and MORE were really psyched about what they saw after our first build day. Their only suggestion was to rebuild the ladders with dimensional, rough cut cedar so they last longer. Also they're gonna try to get one of IMBA's trail construction experts to come in and show us some techniques on how to properly plane the top of a log for log rides and such. Hopefully this will happen sometime in the coming weeks.

this is just plain old outright theft. what you need to do Gobig510 is first check out http://www1.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp - they'll get the ball rolling. next thing is to contact the local police department. a knock on the door by one of virginia's finest seems to go a long way with scum bags like that.

i've done quite a bit of online trading with another hobby, and i've heard of quite a few people getting their stuff back by goin thru the ifcc site and calling the local police. also, i forget if it was mentioned, how was shipping done ? if it was thru the usps contact your local postmaster as well. give a shout back if ya need some help. just gotta contact the right people it seems !!

good luck !!
