This would be a pretty sweet add to the series, especially outdoors. Wonder how much flexibility he has in that test riding gig?
RJ is still in the 250 class?
Yes
Because he will get schooled by both Deegan amd Kitchen, west coast way tougher

I’d love to see it…. Haarup would be an immediate threat outdoors. Kid is very fast and very versatile.
Bummer for Swoll.
Short-term memories a b**** he was beating Deegan before he lost his contact🤷♂️
Harrup is a hell of a motocross rider. I'm not sure he's ever ridden supercross.

Swoll will be in TJ getting stem cells asap. Does everyone think that Tomac really was bionic man with how quick he recovered?
I completely tore both achilles 6 months ago. Im 56 and would have no problem riding now. 6 months is standard healing time. I did not have surgery. Here in Canada standard protocol is no surgery. Mine tore about 2.5 " above where they connect to the ankle. I believe if they tore right at the bone surgery would have been required. The usual tear however is more like my situation.
Keep "dropping those heels" boys and this will keep happening. Watch Tomac's technique since he's been back from injury and you won't see him dropping his heels anything like he used to.
I got these cool foot pegs…
I tore mine at the top of Yosemite falls. A four mile trip back down. Took 2: 10 to get up took 4 hours to hop down. It was November two years ago. I was told surgery was an option. I could still hobble and could not afford to miss work. So, I chose not to.
It's been 26 months and my shit still hurts. If I try to jump up it lets me know quick like , "don't do that shit". I can do a small push off jump but a hard vertical jump hurts like hell. But then again I was 51 then. Probably a lot easier on a mid 20's athlete with the best Dr's.
On top of being wrong why would you talk to Austin’s father like that. Kinda makes you look like a dick.
Austin's problems have never been lack of speed or talent. Farmboy has plenty of that. Just needs to keep the rubber side down and complete a series without injury.
I agree. I've never thought it's a good idea to have your ankle act as suspension.
Eli talked about that after his injury. We'll see if he still rides on the balls of his feet in a few days.
And if he'll continue to disable the part of the boot that prevents over rotation of the ankle.
For those who don't remember, it's something Jett, Hunter and Eli did so the Tech 10s break in lightning fast.
He's changed his technique after the injury from what I've seen to where he doesn't have as much ankle flex dropping the heels and putting the same stress on the achilles. He still very much rides on his toes, he just isn't trying to have his heels dragging the ground. Have one bad injury like that and I guarantee it changes one's approach, also messes with ya mentally.
Pit Row
have a good feeling about forkner this year.... new team and someone like mike brown i think will benefit the dude a lot. hope he gets it done.
Nope still riding on the balls of his feet dipping his ankles as its much safer than riding on your arches and getting bounced off the pegs into oblivion.
It's crazy to you? We're in the 9th year of this thing man. He has crashed out of SX 4 years in a row.
I'd rather him get 8 top 5 finishes than put it on top of the box.
Agreed. Let’s just finish a series safely for once
His contact fell out and he decided not to back it down and settle for a podium is exactly why many people think he will never win a title.
Now that they removed his brain who knows what will happen 🤪

We still on for that $100 title bet Mike?
Hopefully they are all still healthy by the time E vs. W comes around so you can back that up..
Sure! I don’t remember what it was for? Remind me!!
(1) definitely wasn’t on him, Jett riding reckless almost killed him.
(1) off the start, that could have happened to anyone.
(1) his fkn contact fell out.
(1) he tossed it away.
The past 4 anyway.
I’m just going on a limb here, but I’m sure Triumph hired him to win. Austin, I’m sure is still in the game, guess what… To WIN. Like he’s done just about every year since he’s been riding…
Hey, I might be with you though. Getting a shit ton of top 5’s would be a win in my book as well. I just don’t think that’s the case for Austin.
Nothing like he used to drop his heels. And you have to weight the rear edge of the pegs in whoops to help keep traction. I agree that's proper technique. But you go back and look at what he was doing years ago to now, and you'll see a difference. Pull up photos of him now in the transition sections of rhythm sections and see if those heels are where they were when he tore is achilles. Nothing like the old heel drop. And note, at no point did I suggest riding on arches and getting bounced. I still advocate riding on balls of the feet. One can ride on the balls of their feet and not drop their heels. I don't know how many guys are going to have these achilles injuries before technique changes again. But, it will happen eventually. Just takes time and injuries.
