When you look like Austin, you can’t afford a chick that looks like his on gear guy salary.

And yet for some reason you never see Monster girls with guys in the privateer pits.  Hmmm…

We don’t see any monster girls hanging with you either.

I’m honestly very disappointed reading some of these comments. Criticize results if you want , that’s part of the sport, but mocking austin and dragging his wife and family into it crosses a line. His father is in this thread reading this. These are real people, not characters in a video game. You don’t have to be a fan, but celebrating crashes and inventing stories about someone’s family says more about you than it ever will about him. A little perspective and basic decency shouldn’t be too much to ask… even on Vital.

Very well said BVM. 👍

I think this thread has convinced me that one drunk redneck has at least 3 accounts and is trolling.  I don’t want to believe there are that many douche bags here…but I am probably wrong.

What the fuck is going on with the track/medical crew this year? They have been horrible, and it's a serious concern how incompetent they are when a rider is down. The amount of time it took for anyone to go over and check on Barcia when he was out is insane. And now, 3 riders stopped to help Forkner show that these guys are idiots and are not paying attention, or are unaware of their job duties. 

There is no defending how shitty they have been this season, and in the midst of a lawsuit, you'd think they'd be improving, not declining.

Perhaps since it’s not race day and only press day with no pressures or sense of urgency,  the next few riders coming through after Austin’s crash stopped to help him immediately and before the track/medical crew responded, which doesn’t necessarily mean it was a slow response by the medics. 

This is a really bizarre thread…

They are all bizarre threads lately, this place is getting harder to bother with. I used to come here because it was honestly a better source than any for news, plenty of insiders that posted here, lots of good racing/rider discussions.  The content from Vital members was always good, and banter was usually in good fun.  Nowadays it feels like we have been overrun by prepubescent tweens that have been consumed by the social media anonymous bitch and insult machine, and they actually enjoy it - how rewarding🤦‍♂️ I wish this behavior stayed with social media trash, but it clearly has seeped over here, bad.

the funny thing is those tweens you bitch about are probably all 50-65 year old dudes.

On a positive note, i think he belongs on a 450 and in that class. He looks really in control of the bike, not sketchy, and performance isnt bad at all. 

Being a top 15 guy in the 2026 450 Class is very impressive alone, then factor in all the injuries hes been through, All new motorcycle, rookie year, etc. I hope he comes back on a 450 cause he impressed me personally.

Forkner is getting old... it's either now or never in the 450 class, or resign to being a slower version of dik pic marty in the 250s.. he had his chance... many of them...

On the flip side especially on here you have scum bags going way overboard with the hate. Not only calling Haiden every name in the book. But also his family members. And I know it’s only going to get worse…

Matthes had James on the pulp show this week and he said he’s been spending a ton of time with his boys and raising them since their mother moved away so there’s that….made me wonder if he has full custody and she’s just started a new life 🤷🏻‍♂️
