Eric Wiener Date Reviewed: February 21, 2013 Strengths: Clever, misleading sales tactics and ability to sleep knowing how many people are disappointed for being lied to and $ taken from. Weaknesses: Everything but listed in 'strengths'. This guy has lied to me over and over, had my fork since last November. Says he shipped it February 7, 2013. Never given me a good excuse for the delay and the website's email bounces. Only voicemail is what you get when you dial the company number. USPS only says Electronic shipping info received, on Feb. 7, but has since I've been checking it, doesn't appear that it was ever shipped, just shipping was 'arranged' for my fork. If anyone knows how to get a class action going, I'm all in. Bottom Line:

from Mexico Date Reviewed: November 3, 2011 Strengths: I let you know if I ever see it! Weaknesses: The fact that a promised and PAID for service never seems to happen! Some say this Jerry guy can actually fix suspension forks, but from my point of view, I think most of the forks sent to him sit around and wait for him to ever get off his A$$ and do the work! He has had my fork for 4 months and still no sign of it. He claims all sorts of things have held him up, but I think the truth is more that he is a flake! Unfortunately he has my 1" Judy that is very improtant for my 1" headtube Ritchey, and lord knows if I could ever find another one! At this point I would just like to get my fork back and I'll let the credit card company deal with him. From the looks of other reviews maybe we could get together a class action suit against this guy, seems like there may be no end to the number of disgruntled customers! I worked in the Bike Business for 15 years organizing the operations and equipment for a major bike touring company, in my work I dealt with dozens of venders all over the world and not once did I ever experience anyone as unreliable as Jerry Vanderpool from Hippie Tech Suspensions. Buyer beware with this guy he does not care about his customers at all!

from West Hills, CA, USA Date Reviewed: August 14, 2011 Weaknesses: I SO WISH I READ THESE REVIEWS BEFORE SENDING THIS A-HOLE MY SHOCK. On the phone is a cool guy to talk to, but he's just missing a few screws. He charges you quick and then holds your fork for ever. I've been waiting 2.5 months! Every time I talk to him, he's just about finished and he's shipping it back tomorrow. "Tomorrow" was 2.25 months ago!!
