Ripped Off
1800SkyRide is a telemarketing fraud. They sell trips and sporting events that do not exist. The company operates under different names:
1800Skyride
Adventure Skydiving Center
Adventure Sports
Luxergy
IGO Vincent
Spagoda
Tandora
Granter Media
Thrill Planet
Soaring Sports
Hot Air Balloon Team
The address of the company:
2593 Kennesaw Due West Rd Ste 300
Kennesaw, Ga 30144
They refuse to give refunds to customers, there are hundreds of unresolved complaints with BBB. Stay away from this company. When a customer wants a refund because most of the time they were sold something that did not exist or was given false information on locations, they refuse to give it and offer a different activity which again is either a fraud or hundreds of miles away from the client.
I've launched complaints with BBB, FTC, and The Attorney General. If you are reading this because you paid this company money and want it back, send your complaint to the above places as well. I hope we can beat this company if we do it together.

great service
Last weekend i ate meat loaf it was great i used McCormick meat loaf seasoning . I took 2 pounds of lean ground beef mixed it in a bowl with two eggs and stirred in the packet of seasoning. i then took bread crumbs and mixed them into it as well. I took the load of meat and placed in in a pan with aluminum foil. I had the oven pre heated to 350 degrees. I took a large container of ketchup and squirted it on top covering the whole thing in a nice vag red color. I let it cook for about 1, and a half hours before cutting it in half and letting the center cook all the way through. I then ate it with some potato's and salad it was very good. The next day i made German chocolate cake with pecan and coconut ice cream the picture on the icing doesn't look that good but it was great. the chocolate was very light and not as sweet at most so it left room for you to taste the icing which was amazazing. I then watched the office with my girlfriend that show is always good. I also like dexter that show it great. back to the cake, it took three eggs 2 1/2 cups of milk and a 1/2 cup of oil, mix very well and then place it two 10 inch pans and bake for 24 mins unless its in a glass pan then time may vary. When done let cake cook for a min then slowly and gently place icing over the top layer of cake and put the top on it and ice the rest. I ate that cake with chocolate milk and it was so good. I also enjoy devil eggs i mean i can eat like 40 of them in one sitting, man im getting so hungry talking to you guys about food.

funny look
I went to 800Skyride and thought i was looked at funny or not right. I am not sure who it was or if they even worked for 1800skyride but it might have been. anyways i went into 1800skyride to take a skydiving adventure that my mother had bought me a year before. Well when i showed up some guy looked at me funny. He may have just been looking at the TV behind me but i thought he looked at me kinda funny. He also never bent me over his knee and spanked me. Thats one of the reasons o booked but i ended up going to burger kind later and ate a good burger and fries. French fries are a scary side item if you ever look it them right., Well i know you know that Wendy's is the best fast food or at least the cleanest you know one time at burger king i found a poop in the urinal i mean how do they do that. I would think you would have to pull your pants down push your butt up against the wall and then try and squeeze one out and make sure nobody walks in on you pushing your butt against the urinal. you couldn't explain your way out of that one.

they are my chips
They took my potato chips. I bought a brand new bag of chips and they opened them and then denied eating them as they ate them in front of my face. I know the bag of chips only cost $5 (it was the good kind) but still how rude. They saw me lay the chips down and next thing i know the fat guy in the back ate the whole darn bag. I cannot believe it happened my wife was even more amazed at the fact they ate the entire bag. i bet they were the best bag of chips ever, or at least the fat guy kept telling me that they were the best he ever had.

Ripped off by Sky Ride for $200
I purchased tickets for me and my girlfriend to take a glider ride for $198.15 through a company called 1800SKYRIDE.COM on 1/31/09 over the phone with my bank check-card. I received the tickets in the mail 7 days later, and gave them to her for her birthday. A few days later she (my girlfriend) called them to Schedule our flight, and they claimed they could only redeem it in Los Angeles. So my Girlfriend questioned why is it that their website says they have flights in Sacramento, and even the person I bought the tickets from said the rides were available in Sacramento. They claimed the website I ordered the tickets from was an old website with out dated information. Then they said we could get our flight in San Jose, My Girlfriend said that wouldn’t work, the tickets we bought were for the Sacramento facility that they claimed to have access to. Then they claimed we could do it in Truckee, California. Thinking this was as close as we were going to get to Sacramento, we agreed that Truckee was fine for the flight. The operator then said there was a catch: The Flight facility was closed until May, so we would have to wait until May and a pilot would contact us. In the first week of May we received no phone calls. My girlfriend called 1800SKYRIDE and was transferred to voice mail/hung-up on 3 times. We eventually got through once and were told the person who could help us wasn’t available, so we were put on hold/hung-up on again. On 5/15/09 we research all of the flight facilities in Truckee, and find the only one, “Soar Truckee” and call them, they state they are in fact the only glider facility in Truckee. We asked if they had a contract with 1800SKYRIDE or THRILLPLANET (The company has many names) and they enthusiastically exclaim they do not, nor have they ever had any contract or agreement or any involvement with the company. They in fact only have a contract with a company in Reno, NV. They have heard of them though because people go to their flight facility all of the time expecting to use their tickets for a flight, but when they get to “Soar Truckee” they are hit with the reality that they do not have any knowledge of their reservation. The nice people at “Soar Truckee” even said that frequently people will have driven 6 hours to cash in on their flight, and the company feels so bad that they will sometimes give them a ride for free out of their own pocket. He told us their scam is to delay and prolong the reservation process as long as possible because most banks have a 60 day charge-dispute limit, and then just not provide the services at all. This is exactly what had happened to us. I called my bank and was informed because it was past 60 days I was out my $198.15. So pretending to be a new customer my girlfriend called 1800SKYRIDE that same day in order to not get disconnected again. She gets through to a reservation agent, and my girlfriend tells this person the story, and asks them why the company in Truckee claims they don’t deal with them. My girlfriend also asked why Soar Truckee would say they are a scam. The female agent replied that it is because that very day the glider company stopped their contract with them, and “We are not a scam, scam artists don’t stay in business for 15 years” and then claims we can schedule at another facility, asks us to hold, and hangs up on us again. We call back, and get hung up on multiple times. My girlfriend eventually gets greeted with the operator saying “oh it’s you again, you hung-up on that nice young lady.” So we ask to speak to a manager a bunch of times and the operator says “We cant help you” over and over, and she kept asking to speak to a manager, and he kept saying no, We asked his name, we asked the managers name, he refused to give us any information. My girlfriend says “Well then you need to refund me my money you are not providing the services we paid for” and the operator laughed and said “You don’t get your money back, that’s how it works.” Eventually he said the manager was Joe and agreed to connect us to him. He transferred us to the same female reservation agent as before and my girlfriend asked “I thought you were going to help me?” and the lady laughed and said “I am not going to help you, I said I would find someone to help you” and then we got hung up on again. I have yet to get my money back but I have complained to the media, the BBB in Georgia, consumer affairs and will be contacting the attorney general in California & Georgia! Buyer beware!

No answer = no results = expiration
Still fighting with 1800skyride through the BBB. These people have a history of NOT answering phones so they don't have to give you what you pay for. THe only time they answer is if you get the BBB involved and AFTER the expiration date of your certificate. My certificate was good for 2 years. In 2 years, I tried every month to book a jump. THese managers and customer service agents change more than folks do their underwear. Of course I gave them names, etc... I did go to one particular jump site ONCE... I couldn't jump due to overcast weather. Do you know that jump site redeemed my certificate. A mistake that 1800skyride had to track down and correct. THe correction took them more than 2 months..taking it over my expiration date. However, I was told it was OK because it was not my fault. Well that was then... see, that person no longer works there of course. That person was named JOhn Dalton. He isn't there anymore so the new people act as if they see not a single note on my purchase. The controller is said to have the final say. SHE is another story. The last conversation took place just yesterday on November 25, 2008. They will STUFF the policy down your throat but ignored their role in the expiration process. A series of unanswered calls and seeming lies leaves me without a jump or money back. I say, FIND ANOTHER COMPANY to get you your extreme sports! I am still fighting it.

Scam and cheating
This company consists of nothing but CROOKS! Almost two years ago, I bought my dad a $350 hot air balloon ride as a Christmas gift. I was more excited to give it to him than anything in the world...Since that day, we have schedule appointment after appointment after appointment with SkyRide. Not a single time has a reservation actually been made on their end. 99% of the time you cannot even reach anyone at their main number. If you call the customer service number, they have no record of your reservation - just conveniently of your payment. They have not once returned any call and there is currently no supervisor, CEO, higher authority whatsoever that exists, according to the customer service reps. This place is an absolute trap. Upon scheduling the dates/times (after several attempts to reach a human being), we were told the reservation was made. After calling the flight location, they have no record at all of our reservation. Call SkyRide back... no record of anything! Shocker. Best part is - you demand a refund and their response is "that is not part of our terms and conditions". My response: "how many of your customers ACTUALLY FLY or redeem their gifts/purchases?" This place makes me so mad I can't even see straight. A gift dear to me to my father ended up being unused, non-refundable under any circumstances, and an absolute scam. I am convinced this company provides absolutely no service other than collecting your money. I will be sure to file a complaint with BBB. If nothing else, it will add more ammunition for us all to do something about 1800ScamRide and prevent anyone else from going through the same misfortune.
