Old picture from when the injury first happened. He’ll be ready for SX.

That was and is some heavy duty shit. Never liked Forkner’s attitude but I’m pulling for him now. It’s a really big deal to come back from something like that. I hope the best for him.

I don’t get why so many people hate on Forkner but are the biggest Barcia fans. Same type of “f you” attitude but Forkner doesn’t whine and cry when someone races him the same way. Sure the dude is cocky and isn’t the best at podium speeches, but his grit, determination, and mental toughness is truly something to look up to. I’m rooting for him and want to see 2021 be his year he puts it all together on the track and in his personal life.

Lol that’s from the tape they put on the bandage. It’s an old video. Also if they need to go back in and operate the same area, they cut down the old incision

I've always been a fan and still am but looking for ways to cut the track after falls is what made him look bad in my opinion he is definitely not the only one that does it though, I hope its something Feld is going to address next season .

Yeah, sorry guys, my original post did not sound the way I intended. I like the dude and I hadn’t heard of anything happening to him recently, just saw his story. Im not trying to dog him and if you have any info on what happened I would like to know.

Love him or hate him...dude has more upside and raw speed than anybody. When he’s on, big gap wins!

He has a crash sometime back. That is what your picture is from. He’s been riding and practicing, and is making a stellar recovery.

Time flies, I still remember his MX debut and thought he was going to crush the competition the next years. Motocross and injuries are rough.

That was back when he crashed in SX.

I think he might have more raw speed than anyone indoors, but honestly, I don't remember the last time I saw him race outdoors. I think he has what it takes to win everything, he just needs to figure out how to stay on the bike and keep himself healthy.

I'll admit I've never really been a fan of his because he does come off as being really cocky, but he's gone through some shit and hopefully comes out the other side better than ever. I'll be pulling for him.

Damn I’m not a huge Forkner fan or anything but the hate for the kid is a little ridiculous.

Difference is Barcia wasn’t a complete douche. He was cool in videos and could tell he had a personality. His platinum vid was crazy too. And he won. Forkner just seems to be trying to be a douche
