Since I don`t like Ferrandis or Cooper and AC moved up, the guy I was cheering for was Forkner.
Now the hard part. When did he got his shitty, cocky attitude? He makes cheering for him hard.

Only because he "crushed" those guys in the heat? This only shows us how much more we should appreciate people like AC.

I said this in the fantasy thread, but every crash he has in the whoops is the same. He gets too far back, drops the front, gets the bounce and goes sideways, and then gets ejected. He's had 2 hard hits so far this season and I think the title is gone. It's his 4th season of SX, he should be getting this figured out a bit better. Tonight though I will say, that track was hammered bad. Even in the 250 race. It was full-on nasty in the 450 main.

I thought when he made the comment...crush 'em, that it might come back and bite him in the main...and it did, unfortunately.

He's got an ego. He'll figure it out. Or maybe he won't. Will be interesting to see how it plays out but this sport has a tendency of making people grow up.

Looked to me like he was reeling in Ferrandis right before he crushed himself.

He dominated amateurs, dominated sx last year, dominated his heat, has a smoking hot fiance. How can any 20 year old rider not have a cocky attitude? Hes the shit and he knows it.

He's confident and seems to have less filter than the other riders...says what's on his mind typically and that causes him to come off as cocky or with an Ego.

The only problem I had with his "I want to crush them" comment was that he said it after the heat race win. WHY??? All that does is fire up his competition. Save that comment for the podium speech when you actually win the main and you can give them something to dwell over all week.

This isn't last year... Hopefully he'll get it together and check the attitude and focus on the racing.

Forkner's comment after the heat was clearly directed at JCooper. Forkner is a gunslinger. Gunslinger's eventually all meet the same fate....

I have always liked forkner, and especially the team he is on. But for whatever reason, this season I can't help but think he's abit of a dbag and find myself grinning when he's on the ground.

The only thing he is missing is patience.When he learns to settle down a little bit , look out!

He could not even keep up with the top two last night before his crash.

I'm I the only one who thinks his riding and odd behavior remind me of Stroupe?
