The increases aren’t as big as I thought they might be, but as noted above, any increase would be welcomed, especially by the privateers. Most here won’t like to admit it, but the riders can thank WSX for introducing a little competition.

Love your no BS approach to everything DV. Straight but fair. ML please try and talk this man into a weekly column!

Mitch offered him a fill in ride in forkner a spot.

Since we're making some assumptions here, any chance it went like this....? -DV offers to train Marv, Marv says something like "I'll think about it and let you know" -Payton approaches DV about Forkner. DV says I'll go spend a day with him and see if we're a match, but the deal is contingent because I already have an offer out to Marv. -Forkner ride day goes well, Payton and Kawi and Forkner schedule meeting to talk numbers and confirm before final offer to DV. -Marv hears rumors about Forkner deal, calls DV to commit before the Forkner thing goes...

PC Kawasaki Observation Their last 2 SX titles were 6 years apart. Maybe this is the year they grab another one. 2011: Broc Tickle 2017: Justin Hill 2023: Jo Shimoda? Would be pretty cool.

Forkner is way too emotional and sensitive to work with someone like DV.

This sport is absolutely brutal. Austin will be pushing into his mid/late twenties before he races again. He certainly has the speed to pick up a regional SX championship, but is he the guy you dig into the pockets to invest in at this point?

So after spending a full day with Forkner he remembered he was/is already training Marv?

Forkner needs a change of scenery

Adding someone with knowledge, experience and intelligence is a good match for any program.

the most cringe part of it is that he's super proud of himself with his stupid video. Dude, you acted like a total crybaby squid. You got taken wide in the FIRST TURN (your fault) and then took him out a lap down? damn. Oh, and then put out your cute little video celebrating your idiocy. Atta boy. Jeez.

I know Stank has a huge fan base and everything but, that was pretty lame. Clason didn't even come in contact with him in that first turn. He fell on his own from what I saw. And even if he did take him high, welcome to arenacross.

It wouldn't be the first time things like that happen, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Barcia tried doing something similar in Bercy back in 2011 and then ran away like a bitch when Aranda got off his bike. Bogle did it to Barcia last year. I don't get it. Just deal with it in the pits once the race is over.

Stankdog is a joke of a rider. Same BS with him calling out Pulp last year and just making shit up, he made up in his head that Clason took him out to begin with where the reality is Cade didn't touch him. The AX boys were definitely upset that SX took over with multiple SX riders in the main "taking $ away from the AX boys".

Seems like he forgot how the AX game is played.

Stank’s skin is so thin it’s fucking clear.

I can understand stank getting upset but running it wide, turn 1, in AX. Dude you're gonna get put on the ground sometimes.
