: all the jumps I had dealings with were paid
: half at the time of contract signing and
: half at the jump. everything these chairty
: people have said sounds correct along those
: lines. I have seen some posts stating that
: Lowe has stalled Robbies future, he has hurt
: it in a bad way but no one has said anything
: about the fact that Robbie has crashed once
: upon landing a short jump, twice while doing
: wheelies and once while turning the bike
: around after a speed run in TX. the human
: body can only take so much abuse. whiskey
: and coke almost every day for over a decade
: is not normal training.

: I just went and looked at the paperwork from
: the Nicholas website and I really don't
: understand why as far back as March 23rd
: that money was given to Jeff via a cashiers
: check for a total of $10,000 and then again
: July 31st for 22,000. Why were they given so
: much money that far in advance because there
: wasn't going to be any expenses for a ramp.
: Sounds like the foundation was taken and if
: Robbie doesn't show up at the next show that
: there will be a law suit. Wow this is going
: to be very interesting. As for the refunds I
: can almost guarantee the money is already
: gone and so a refund is out of the question
: for those who want one. I don't see this
: turning out well at all. I hope Robbie isn't
: the one that gets screwed out of all of
: this. I don't imagine that the foundation is
: all too happy with all of this being dropped
: in rhere laps because some people haven't or
: can't get a refund. As a the phone number
: being out of service you all know why that
: happened. The phone calls to Jeff were
: probably getting out of hand because of all
: of this. What a mess.

: i spoke with someone at the nicholas legacy
: fund. they informed me that big sky
: promotions has been paid over 30 thousand
: dollars in installments and the balance was
: to be paid the day of the event. they said
: they will be posting on their website copies
: of all payments. they also told me that
: robbie crashed a week before the event and
: probably couldnt phsyically do the jump.
: they told me that big sky promotions tried
: to break the contract by forcing the charity
: to pay robbies fees 48 hours before the
: jump, something they knew wasnt possible.
: the charity was counting on paying him out
: of the ticket sales the day of the event.
: they also told me that robbies managers
: could not be reached to discuss the matter.
: i myself tried to contact jeff lowe but his
: business phone number is disconnected. i
: also checked his federal tax number that he
: gave to the charity. it is fraudulent. i
: went to a motorcycle run the charity ran
: last year and everything went fine. robbie
: led the run himself. i spoke to dave, the
: president of the charity he told me that he
: and his family have personally put up most
: of the money for both events and he is
: trying to get the money back so he can pay
: back the people who spent their hardearned
: money for this jump. as far as contacting
: jeff lowe i will be doing that in the near
: future.
:
:
: in my previous post i failed to mention that
: when big sky tried to break the contract
: they also raised the fee by 10 thousand
: dollars. this event was going to help some
: very deserving people but apparently big sky
: promotions was more concerned about taking
: as much of the revenue generated by the
: event as they could get their hands on
:
:
: thank you ray, i actually have that number.
: the number that is listed as his business
: number 843 986 0006 is the one that is
: disconnected. jeff has been spoken to by
: many people and his answer is always the
: same YOU ARE NOT GETTING YOUR MONEY BACK. i
: never met him but he seems like an arrogant
: sob. its a shame that robbie has chosen to
: keep this mutt around. i checked the
: nicholas legacy funds website and if you
: click on donations and scroll down you will
: see payments totalling 32 thousand dollars
: made to big sky promotions. robbie is under
: the impression that only 10 thousand was
: paid. maybe the rest went into jeffs pocket.
: who knows. this does not include money paid
: for advertising, food, the venue, security,
: bands, permits etc. ROBBIE COULD NOT DO THE
: JUMP BIG SKY SHOULD GIVE THE MONEY BACK. but
: robbies little b###h says no. karma has a
: way of biting a**holes like jeff in the ass.
: as far as the contract goes robbie told the
: charity to write up the contract and he
: signed it. the hotels, hiring carpenters,
: the building of the ramp were not in the
: original contract and robbie did not tell
: the charity to add them before he signed it.
: its time for jeff to MAN UP and give the
: money back but he chose a different route
: and wants to play hardball. we can play
: hardball too. GOD BLESS JONATHAN AND THE
: VETERANS THIS MONEY WAS MEANT FOR
:
:
: if robbie was hurt it would not have been a problem to postpone the jump. he is in a dangerous business. but that was not an option for big sky promotions. jeff was contacted last night and he blamed it all on robbie, saying "why dont you cry to the guy who actually got the money dave. i didnt see one dime of that money. you a**hole. you made the deal with robbie not me." the president of the charity forwarded me the text that jeff sent him and those were his exact words. when robbie was contacted he says he only received 10 thousand dollars but the foundations website proves that the full 32 grand was paid. someone is lying. given the foundations past dealings with robbie and jeffs reputation it seems like it must be jeff but it will be resolved. either way the money must be returned because we all know robbie was physically unable to hold up his end. if they needed to postpone the jump because of robbies injurys it would have been understandable. but to rob the foundation of every dime it had including the presidents personal savings and a large chunk from his family is reprehensible. that money was supposed to help generate alot more money that should be helping some very deserving people. i know we all agree about that. but instead jeff apparently chose to help himself instead. with veterans day around the corner i cant help but wonder if jeff would ever think of doing something nice for someone who put his or her life on the line defending this great nation and our way of life. i only have to think for a second and then i catch myself. i say to myself you must be nuts. please dont be offended by tanners remarks. this is a very touchy subject for some of us. it has affected us personally.
