not a big deal, and I like it when these riders deviate from the script.

makes for better podium interviews too!

I'd normally agree with that, but PC is known for waiting until the last hour to announce which 2 are racing west and which 2 are racing east. It's literally like this every year for the last 10+ years.

That's very possible. When was PC's last championship? After ruling the 125/250F class for how long, it seems everyone else has caught up and Am's have multiple choices for great bikes to ride. It's not just PC Kawi anymore. PC Kawi is what every young kid wanted to ride, myself included. Now though, I'd be looking at the Yamaha, Honda and Husky Am teams if I were a fast up and coming racer.
Last title was Hill in 17

Who was the last before Hill? I honestly don't remember. And when was their last outdoor title? I wish I could remember it myself.

Baggett in 12. Don’t think they had any the 5 years between.

We need to figure out if he's joking or not so I can decide if I hate Forkner or really like him.

Pro Circuit needs Forkner just as bad as he needs them. Yamaha, KTM, and Husky all have more power nowdays. When is the last time Pro Circuit even got a holeshot?

I like it when guys get fired up and show emotion.. People at amateur races are getting into full blown brawls after races and pro's can't even say what they really feel? Meanwhile, people wanna give Bob Hannah and Rick Johnson a B.J. and talk about how young people are soft.. Hypocrites!

I’m the only one that enjoys all the different personalities? Some of you saying you’re not a fan do realize how lame it would be to see 22 Dungeys on the gate, right? I guess none of you remember Carmichael in the 125 class. Or the story when Shaun Palmer raced the 125 class and told everyone that he was gonna beat them down? Got to remember too that time when you were 18-22. But people on vital never acted out.

Why do people act like there are only two options? Obviously nobody wants a bunch of robots. Doesn't mean we want a bunch of assholes.

God forbid somebody poke fun at the ceremony of the last-minute announcements. He clearly didn't find out from that post, and wasn't showing attitude. Some posters are so dense.

Exactly! You don’t want a bunch of anything. And asshole seems pretty exaggerated for what’s going on here. I would say there’s better examples of that description in this thread then what Austin has said

How many riders get injured before the season even starts? Throwing down heaters in practice and getting ready for pro racing is no joke.

Very good point, but I’m sure lots of people including sponsors could just as easily read it the same way as people here have and reacted the same way thinking that he’s being salty about it.

No?

I thought I remember hearing or reading that Ciancirulo was West a while ago. Wouldn’t make sense to have him and Forkner on the same coast in my opinion. Nothing against the other guys but I think those two have a legit shot at the championship. Prolly just bein a smartass. Which is better than a dumbass. Which is better than no ass

Last week in his vlog he said he went down about 4 weeks ago and hurt his shoulder. Only been on the bike 2 weeks and that he would most likely be on east coast. Most likely joking around with whoever runs the account
This is what I figured as well. Guess I'm not a Forkner hater though.

Wait, so it was a joke? Well done, Forkner.

But if Forkner was ready does that mean they put their eggs in AC's basket over him for the more important first half of the season?

Who would you guys choose?
