Tim @ freestyle is the best
ok, so i looped that highchair at lakeland and tore my bike to shreds. the motor mount was ripped off and the frame broken and my cage demolished.
I'm down here in texas hanging with friends and i paid tim a visit. He is one of the coolest people i've ever met. Very down to earth and friendly. So after his daily business (which is quite stressful) he started working on my bike. He spent most of the day tearing the motor mount down and rewelding the frame. He made me a new mount and got it all looking better than new. It's like a tank now. He also welded up my broken stator, which isn't the best aluminum to weld on.
After all that i bolted on one of the new super strong cages...this thing is nice.
Ya, tim was really cool all day long, didn't even act a bit bothered to help out. I learned a lot about tig welding and aluminum welding today and i got to see how the cages are made. Very nice setup.
I just wanted to pass this on to all the others that deal with freestyle, Tim goes out of his way to make sure customers and friends have the best luck with his products. Tim rocks and i owe him big! :YEAH

Re: Tim @ freestyle is the best
All the freestyle guys are cool. Freakstyle Stunnerz had Tim, Dave, and Greg stay with us during the dealer show. They were kick *** to hang out with and even treated us like normal peaple (seeing as how were not super stunter/big buisness tycoons. Just joking guys
I picked up one of the new cages from them. It should save me a **** load of money. :YEAH

Do you mean uncle Tim Daddy Barnes? Tim has treated me like a son. Ive been in some serious **** out in Texas, and Tim was there for me when I needed someone to pull me out of the mud.
Regardless of all that, Tim had a good teacher on aluminum welding!!!!

Re: Tim @ freestyle is the best
That would be the one.
Im guesing your the teacher?
Someone needs to teach me how to weld like that!
Im still at the stage where you lay a bead and go back over it with JBweld.

Re: Tim @ freestyle is the best
How about this: Texas Lonestar Biker Bash. Here is how the phone call a week before the event went:
Tim: "Gorka, you coming out or what? Stoppie comp is paying $3000.00 for first"
Gorka: "Nah, not in a position to take a week off, and money is tight right now"
Tim: "You're going to win, what are you thinking? Will you come if I pay for a plane ticket and arrange for your bike to get shipped (special thanks Steve, Evasive Actions)???
Tim believed in me so much, he spent $550 from his own pocket to get me to Texas......Not to mention all the support he's given from F.Ingenuity.
Thanks, bro
Love, Gorka
