Forkner had surgery on his arm to repair some nerve issues.

Hopefully this doesn't impact his 2020 SX prep too much.

Bummer they didn't realize it earlier so he could have been taken care of when he had his ACL surgery, or earlier in the off season, but it sounds like he didn't notice until he got back on the bike after the ACL procedure.

Heal up Forkner, we're all waiting anxiously to see you battle it out in 2020!

His penile nerves have been working overtime. He needs to divert a bit of energy to the rest of the body Woohoo

Ferrandis and Sexton both on West Coast correct ?

Forkner should dominate on East Coast if healthy.

There have been a couple hilarious comments that I guess people deleted before they could be quoted or replied to.

Off season humor in full effect

Haven't seen it here yet, maybe I missed it, but Forkner's vid is both creative, out of the norm and impressive.

Been loving the content him and GAS productions have come up with. Vlogs are cool and all but this was super unique and creative. The former moto filmer in me is very impressed.

Def stepping out from the norm. I thnnk a lot of riders dont get the credit they deserve when they overcome so many injuries.

So easy to sit on the couch and dog out their riding, speed, and such. Respect  to them all, and ill be rooting for Forkner

Damn he’s been through the wringer. Hoping for good things for the guy next season, he deserves it. The body keeps the score in the end.

Takes balls to put something like that out imo. Sucks he had to go through so much shit to get to this point. I’ve been a fan even when he was a cocky punk racing Osborne. He would eat shit in qualifying every single round. And I’m talking big boy crashes. Get up like it’s nothing and keep pushing. He pretty much said yea I crash in practice because I find my limit and back it down from there, but it’s all good I got muscles and thump his chest… Which was absolutely true because he would just get up from them like it was nothing. You really had to respect the boldness in that. He’s got stew level speed in him and stew level crashes. You got the ACL at the final round, the whoop crash final round the following year, where he blew out his internals. Oh and then the infamous cross jump where he broke his collarbone for the 700th time… funny how no one really talked about that because the Australian paradigm shifting messiah of motocross was involved and he can do no wrong. Oh and then the start crash where he couldn’t even race one lap of SX this year…. I can see him killing it in 24 and becoming hot shit in the industry again, only way more humble this go around and with a lot more chips on his shoulder.

He has nowhere near Stew level speed.  As much as I would love to see him do well, it’s the same story every season.  He can’t seem to shake the injury bug.
