I wouldnt say husky has done their homework as much as Papa KTM is letting them ride the good bike this year.

So is Austin Forkner racing the entire arenacross series instead of any supercross? Thats what it seems like as far as what ive heard so far. Seeing as how Chris Aldredge had a shaky start to his supercross career as well as AC's ongoing troubles do you think Mitch suggested dialing it back for Forkner and not sending him straight to the big show? Think that has anuthing to do with the AX stint?

I dont really see it as a bad thing it will be a ton of racing and a huge learning experience. Kid looked super comfortable on the track last night.

I wish Austin forkner raced with the big dogs last night....I mean isn't he a big dog now that he has a "pro circuit monster energy " ride....and how he's " on another level " than sexton...well I sure think Austin took the easy route for himself last night so to be able to say he's "6 for 6"..... really? I mean if he didn't win amateur Allstars that would of looked really bad on him....so that really speaks for itself....race where u belong...or get off the professional equipment in an AMATEUR class.

Don't qualify for the cup class? Well sit out and do your homework for next year....no need to sand bag an amateur class as a professional....

The coverage wasn't available in my area tried to stream it got mad then got over it.

Don't really care about the races I have to jump through hoops to watch. I will not support what I can't see.

How the hell was beach volleyball kayaking and lots of other stuff on but not a sold out race.

Not one of these riders are trying to win the million. They all want to win the race but they will nor take any chances. RV was perfict for this race he raced to win the million or nothing.

So basically, you don't know shit about racing is what you're saying...

Forkner is NOW an A class rider... He needs 75 Pro/AM points, you can see how many he has, it's circled to
race Motocross... Now, he having the resume that he has, he can get the AMA & MX Sports to give him a
Outdoor professional motocross licence...

He can NOT race Pro Supercross till he gets his license... He has to race 3 arenacross races to get it...
So technically Vicki Golden is a Supercross Pro & Austin Forkner isn't...

He was not allowed to race the MEC last night...

Point 7.1 The best racing isn't always the 450s. The Super Mini races were the best of the evening IMO.

They still can't figure out how to balance broadcast sound with stadium sound. Couldn't hear a word they said the entire race.

James is sorry. Off a year and pull out of the first race you enter, avoiding possible injury for supercross or not that's not a racer.

Reed?

Where was Tomac?

So, because JS7 pulled out rather than risk making the injury worse for A1...he's "sorry"? Dumbest statement on this thread so far. Pinch

Reed had limited time on a new bike. He'll be better.

Tomac hasn't been cleared to be on a bike yet.

Oh ok sure... I don't know anything. Just been a fan for 15 plus years, follow the sport and race wmx myself.... (Not pro)

There really are a lot of clowns in here though... I mean really... The typical go to "you don't know anything go back and read"

Supposedly as far as I knew from the press conference that there was No rules... Said Jeff Emig

You would think all these loopholes and inconsistencies in our sport Mitch and Kawy and blah blah and also blah blah would of got him into the big show...

And team green, just because your an insider... Which we all know means nothing besides blowjobs behind curtains ... Doesn't necessarily mean I'm "butt hurt".

If he was concerned for saving it till supercross then he would have stayed home. As I see it, another excuse for a fading stewart at the end of his career. He has done the same thing durring the supercross season. As soon as the chance of a race win, or championship is gone, stewart is out with.......full in the blank.

Am I saying he's done? No he WILL win atleast a race this year, most likely more than one. But honestly if he finishes a complete season it will be a success
