GORUCK Challenge

[DougNg]

@madmonday:

speaking of balls, a forum member told me get some kettlebells & stop being a pu$$y, so i ordered some bells.  will advise how it goes.

You won't regret this

Unless you try to snatch a 70lb kettlebell

Then you might regret it

Nah

Hit me up if you need anything. I'm always a text away

[madmonday]

guess i will find out when they land on the 1st & you know i'll hold you to it.

on Goruck news, they refunded me for my troubles today, no idea what happened with anyone else.

anybody care to check in?

No response, no refund

[seawolf]

I just sent them an email requesting a refund. We'll see what happens….

[madmonday]

i went through the website & sent them emails from my user account. that was the only time they responded to me in a timely fashion. when i tried to just email from the outside they never responded.

got my kettlebells today & man are they heavy. might have to have a class with d666 & big zee i'm sending you a message in 2 minutes. . . .

[derivative666]

Whenever your ready

[madmonday]

They heavy, they oh so heavy.  Think i might have to go to the "girl" sizes to get my form right & then work up to these, got a 16 & 20KG & should have taken into account the person telling me to get them as starters walks around with a IronHeart loving gorilla on his back all day.

damn shame

rest of my posts on kbells will be in the fitness & health thread, i'm off GORUCK

[derivative666]

I have a 12 & 16. 12 was tough when I 1st started. Now I use the 16 most if the time.

[seawolf]

I messaged them through their website, and I got a response pretty quickly. They tried to haggle with me and give me credit for another event, or store credit, but I really just wanted a refund. I got it! They handled it really well and they were very nice and apologetic. Way to make it right Goruck.

Glad to hear it squidley, now fingers crossed d666 had a similar result.

^ thanks for posting adam. i'd also be interested to know what you guys are thinking about this, since i'm in the middle of planning my "tour" for 2014! thx…

I'm done with Goruck. They will not be getting anymore money from me.  They finally gave me my money back but, I had to fight them tooth and nail. They never moved my Goruck Light when I asked them to change the date back in September. We battled back and forth and they were still reluctant to reimburse me even though I showed them an email that came from them stating they would move my challenge.  I would be interested in something else, I am open to any ideas.

let's just meet for some beers or two (cider for you Jeff!) and talk shit and all that…i'd be down from may'14 up on i think!

[bagley920]

There are other companies that do events like this

I know we like their gear but don't have to do their events given the bad communication and customer service

[madmonday]

did anyone do any GORUCK events?  it's just closing in on when we were going to do our group thing & i got curious/misty eyed 

[derivative666]

Monday lets pick a date and get it done this summer

[madmonday]

i'm all fat, again.

this summer. .. .okay so  june before it gets crazy hot?  damn you skinny bastard.  guess i'll put down this last oreo double stuffed cookie & go wrestle with some kettle bells.

yous a bastard
