One Last Spin Rage Update for 2008

One Last Spin Rage Update for 2008

It is the never-ending story of a gym spinning class clash! A judge says that Equinox is not responsible for one of its members' "spin rage" that resulted in him attacking a fellow spin class student. Of course you remember how, back in 2007, stockbroker Christopher Carter got sick and tired of hedge fund manager Stuart Sugarman's grunting, whooping and hollering "You go, girl!", Carter got off his bike and slammed Sugarman into the wall. Carter was acquitted of criminal assault charges, though the Manhattan DA's office tried to point out even if you ind someone annoying, you don't beat them up. Sugarman's suit with Equinox, faulted the gym since neither "of the two instructors tell plaintiff to lower his voice or curb his enthusiasm" and the instructors did notice Carter was annoyed by Sugarman's, um, enthusiasm but did nothing. Word to the spinning class wise: Don't be annoying, don't attack others. more ›

Spin Rage Me Round Like a Record

Even though a 6-person jury found Christopher Carter not guilty after allegedly assaulting a fellow spin class student who was grunting and generally obnoxious, Carter isnt quite satisfied. The Post reports the stockbroker wants the Manhattan DA's office to "prosecute admitted grunter Stuart Sugarman for allegedly perjuring himself on the witness stand during the wacky fitness fracas trial." Sugarman's lawyer claims it's a publicity stunt, since Sugarman is suing Carter for injuries. However, Carter's lawyer says Sugarman, whose testimony was contradicted by other spin class attendees, "repeated the exact same lies in the civil complaint." Please, Sugarman and Carter--take this to Judge Judy or Judge Joe Brown or Judge Marilyn Milian! more ›
