I don't an issue with either one of their moves. I thought they both did a pretty good job of taking responsibility of their actions. Racing incident...nothing more, nothing less. I do think Forkner will put this one in the back of his mind and Big Al better be prepared for it!

BTW Peely...going to LL this year to watch Pierce?? He killed it at Mammoth!

I found the comment a bit odd. Kinda chalked it up to either AMart fishing for what to say at the time. Or he is frustrated with Forkner pulling that move frequently. The Martin bros never really let their emotions out of control and maybe that comment was as "out of control" as AMart will get. Ha.

Either way, move didn't bother me much. You could see AMart was trying to make the turn and the move wasn't anything malicious. Just didn't work out.

Yessir! I should be there Thursday morning. This should be Seth's last year at the ranch so I don't want to miss it.

i listened to both after the race. I think they both were on the same page...and owned it. unfortunate it was but it was 2 guys fighting over the same line. shit happens.

Plenty, but this isn't about me. Its about a kid who barely fell off his dirt scooter, and ruined his race. Compare it to A-Marts much bigger crash late in the second moto at Muddy Creek...and also remember the rib injury earlier in the season, which 'healed' in few days.

I'm a fan of Forkner...its just obvious he needs to harden the feck up.
Unless Forkner is lying about having the air knocked out of him, it's pretty self explanatory. Especially at their heart rates and energy levels battling it out in moto 2. I'm sure you would have gotten up way faster regardless of the fact you couldn't breath lol

Some of you guys are having a really hard time understanding that certain riders are tougher than others. Sure he got the wind knocked out of him, but I would guess 95% of the class wouldn't suffer the same 'injury' falling off their bike at 5 mph into a pile of soft sand. I like Forkner but he's got a history of being too soft. If he wants a title, he needs to toughen up.

The plan is outdoors 2019 but that subject to change depending on who he signs with. If he were asked to fill in after LL, he would do it.
