RRW - The Rookie papers...what a disaster!

[Holeshot]

Does anyone else read this? What a complete disaster this Marshall Skloss is! I just finished the latest article of his which had him crashing no less than 3 times in 5 outings, dragging mud onto the track and caring less about it (after crashing in the mud and continuing on...for an AMATEUR finish), laying coolant all over the track and crashing in it, laying coolant AGAIN on the track (knowing he was doing this) and crashing the frontrunner and his friend...

What a total fuckstain! Is this the kind of guy we'd consider AFM action against?

I shot an email to RRW a while ago and I honestly hope this dude gets sat down in his org. Sounds like I need a life, but if you've ever read this article you know this guys is not just an idiot, but a danger.

And, all for a novice championship in classes with less than 20 dudes!!!!!!!!

Oh, and you forgot to mention him forgetting to put caliper bolts in and crashing when a caliper came off...

i glanced @ those articles. sounds like i need to start readin' em

 

[Ssketchy RC]

Did you read his "needs to be more aggresive" article. It talked about him stuffing fellow riders if he was gridded back. Sounds like an idiot that can give up and comers a bad idea. Even worse is that I think since RRW is printing it they are showing that they support this type of behavior.

Send Ulrich a letter. That stubborn so and so won't care. If he approved it, it must be right.

Berto, I thought the exact same thing when I read his last article. If we had to race against this guy, I don't think he would make it past one race weekend. He KNEW he water in his belly pan and went out anyway. At least he went and saw his buddy that he put into a guard rail at triple digit speeds. I sure hope he wins that NOVICE championship. What a douche bag...

did not read it but it sounds like east coast racing

 

[afm199]

Makes me want to get out there and run into someone :laughing instead of them running into me like usual.

Link to a website? or is it only in print?

couldn't find anything on rrw or google...

 

[trent]

I read his first submission and was quickly bored. Haven't read it since.

 

[budman]

Guess... I will take a look at the article.. :wow

:smoking

 

[Adiggity]

I concluded he was a jackass when he said he raced AND crashed with a broken neck. He's lucky to be walking more less racing still......but the stories make me want to read the next month's article....

 

[Nucking Futs]

And at the end of the article he goes and buys 2 brand new bikes. More money than brains. I don't really care for Noyes either. He sounds a bit like a priss, and he shits all over American racing.

 

[Corey11c]

He is definately a danger to everyone on the track. He is wreckless and careless. If anyone like that comes around AFM I wouldn't feel one bit of pitty for them when Barb let's 'em have it.

Cant agree more--tempted to write an editoial--I gringe everytime I read that fucktards article--ie who did he try to kill today--apparently one of his buddies

Want me to send Ulrich a link to this thread??Were long lost buddies--well kinda:laughing :laughing

 

[evolution247]

Didn't he say he lost his marriage over this championship too? That was dumb. It made for interesting reading but it does sound like he thinks he's going to go pro. :laughing

RRW

Even worse is that I think since RRW is printing it they are showing that they support this type of behavior.

I like the fact that RRW doesn't edit the content. I know there was very little editing to the stories they've published of mine. In hindsight I'd wish some of my stories were edited in the interest of making it a better read. If you what to hang yourself by a pen, go ahead. Ulrich prints it and lets the readers decide for themselves.

I think it's a good thing this numb nut is dumb enough to submit his stories. It works as a warning to others. It’s disappointing to know that there are people out there with that kind of thought process, but I'm thankfully for being aware of it. Hopefully his race org is clued in to his warped mindset and will take appropriate steps to alter his perception of club racing.

 

[Holeshot]

Shawn, perhaps the new racer school should read his stories and discuss just how fucked up he really is....

 

[kneedrag]

We'll make it part of the required curriculum.

Yeah, I totally thought this guy was a dumb sh*t after the first article. I don't know how a new racer gets hooked up with this deal, but I would have preferred someone else.

Last year or the year before they tried having two going at the same time. A younger guy and an older guy (racing in different series). The young guy did two articles before he wrote about crashing the daylights out of himself. The older guy was boring because he wrote about being slow.
