Title: Johnu773 Hooked me up!!!!
Post by: BULLDOG on March 15, 2008, 10:03:58 PM
I just got home from Johns house where he totally hooked up my sons bike with all the parts needed to finish out his bike. We're talkikn front brake cable, rear cables w/ gyro and levers installed and adjusted everything. Plus he added in two tires some stickers and gyro parts for my bike oh and two pairs of pegs. And the kicker is , he didn't charge me a dime for anything. SUPER NICE GUY!!! He also had bikes there that he was working on that were for a charity for children. I just wanted to let everyone know what a stand up guy he is and how he  goes out of his way to help other flatlanders out. I know he has helped a lot of riders out here with great deals or free stuff but I just wanted to let everyone know how he helped me out and that John is the real deal. Thanks John!!! :beer:

Peace

Thanks guys! ;D   I try my best to help fellow riders out, without taking personal gains.  If you ever see something that i'm selling you know the price is always fair.  I also gives tons of stuff away for free all the time(many here have received that treat).

I work at a shop(part-time) and a lot of people don't want to pay to fix their bikes.  they leave them behind to have us throw them away.  I select the ones i feel can be made safe enough to ride and take them home to work on.  i donate all the labor and used parts myself.  once they're tuned up and safe to ride i give them to local kids who dont have anything to ride or i give them to paul "letsgo" hahn.

paul volunteers at a sheleter for kids who have have rough lives(piece of crap parents, no parents, live in foster homes).  they try to teach them how to set goals in life.  paul gives them incentives such as keep your grades up all year and you can have this gt(true story...and she did it!!!).

well enough of my ramblings, thats for the good words bulldog!  anytime!!! tell conner to enjoy his bike!!!

 I'll have to admit, John is a hell of a guy, and when it comes to riders/flatland. He's all heart, we could all learn a lot from him. He has helped me in getting restarted, with advice on parts and setups. I bought my cranks from him and he threw in a brand new pair of twisted pc pedals. On one conversion, I was telling him that I bought a wheel-set from F/F, and that I was broke now, He asked what else I needed. He's now setting me up with a front brake and lever, just so I will stay out of trouble with my wife. It is not always about how many parts he sells, but how many people he helps with the parts that he does sell.  To him that is his reward in helping people get the parts they need to be able to keep riding.  Keep up the good work John.  Like I said John is one HELL of a guy.................Russ

I actually literally just "gave until it hurt".    I just flowed some brand new pegs and bars to a guy who's starting out here and now my bars are done :angry:  it's ok though, he's happy and riding which is a very good thing! 

BUT if ANYONE has any cheap bars they feel like parting with (cheap being the key word, i'm broke) hit me up,  I never though I'd say this, but I'm in "need" of something... :rolleyes:

does john ask for his sh*t back from any of you guys? or does he cancel a deal on you? jw

when i bought a g6 from him a while ago...a couple weeks went by and he pm me saying that he want his frame back. he did this for a long while. it got annoying.

john had a gamma and i ask him if he would trade for the g6. he agreed to it.  next day he cancels.

i met a fellow at the intrikit jam back in back december. he told me he bought the frame he was riding from john also.  he told me that john bugged him about wanting his frame back, so i told him that i got my frame from john too and that john did the same thing to me too. WORD!!!!!

I like John; not in a sexual way though
Title: Re: Johnu773 Hooked me up!!!!
Post by: johnu773 on June 20, 2008, 07:10:24 AM
  I did ask him for that frame back and did so often, it was one of the last 76.5ht g6's.  i got a 75ht g6 in it's place but it didn't feel the same(or even close).  I knew he wasn't using it anymore so why not ask?   If bothered him so he should have told me or blocked me.

it's not all that uncommon though considering i've been asked for stuff back, as well, that i've bought or traded (without naming names)by at least 6-8 people in the last 2 years.(VERY common names on this forum too i might add)

as for the trade i cancelled, Ying was 2nd in line and i thought the deal fallen through with the original buyer.  when his paypal showed up i had to cancel the second deal and honor the 1st.

i've backed out of a few deals at times if they felt "shady" in one way or another, but ying's was not shady! it was nothing like that.  he's still a legit buyer in my books.

Ying, sorry if you felt "slighted",  as you can read from the hundred of parts i've given away for FREE and the numerous deals i've made,  i try my best to make people happy.

then why did you send me nude pics of yourself???   j/k man.  thanks for the good words from everyone.  some of you will be pleased to know that i've finally sold off almost all my extra stuff, which is why you haven't been seeing me in the classifieds as much.  it's been my primary bike ONLY as of late, but that could change at any minute...ONCE A FRAME WHORE, ALWAYS A FRAME WHORE!!!

I don't have any extra flatland frames because I gave them all away.  If someone doesn't have the cash and wants to ride flat, well here ya go.  I've given soo many frames and parts to people.  I think it's more worth a guy being able to keep riding or start riding flat than making a buck.  Some of the stuff I gave away was almost life changing if you know what I mean.  You got a kid trying to ride a freakin thrashed Haro from Oshmans, to a Hoffman ep with a dumpload of extra parts for freakin free!  He told me later that he learned alot of tricks since he got the Hoffman frame.  That made me feel like I accomplished something.  I will continue to do that to this day.

that's exactlly how i feel when i give stuff away!!!  sometimes it hurts when i give something to someone and then they quit and give it away or sell it.  it almost makes me feel as though i failed, but hey, it's not for everyone i guess.  props to stubleduck43!!!

I just hooked up an old childhood buddy with almost a whole bike.  I mean, I love him as a brother and just recently got back in contact with him.  He saw that I picked up flatland again at all he could afford was a Walgoose.  I said "F that!"  So I hooked him up with a Fly Micromachine with various parts from me and others.  The frame and fork was from Jeremy Jones.  Everything else was from me and friends (such as Gensanity).  I think that's the way it should be.  Help your brothers out, it will all come back to you.  If it doesn't, at least you made a difference in your brothers flatland life.

i've been hookin needy kids up lately.  not so much w/bmx bikes, but just kids who have no means to ride any bike at all.  i'll take whatever road/mtn or bmx i can find , fix it to make it safe and give it to those who really need it.  i figure if i can get a few more kids into riding any type of bike, then maybe they won't turn to gangs or drugs because they were limited to the local hood or street corner.
