So many Vitards openly criticized him, gave backhanded compliments and expressed their passive aggressive condemnation. He is arrogant and has a sense of entitlement you said. He's hiding out because of his bruised ego.
Everyone has their favorite riders or support a rider because he's on their favorite brand. But some of you are just totally irrational and hostile.
So far I've learned from you that Savatgy is a worthless looser, Barcia is a whining pyscotic asshole, McElrath is an immoral cheater, Pleasanger isn't worth the ride, Tomac won't win a 450 SX title and Webb is a total asshole. Yet none of you know or interact with any of these young men.
You have declared that Suzuki is the worst bike ever made and you're stupid to buy one and Its impossible for Yamaha YZ450 to win at the pro level. Yet most of you haven't owned or ridden one.
Jesus, these kids a little slack.
Isn't this sickening?

Get well soon Austin.
Given the nature of these injuries, I agree with MXMatti that a return in 6-8 weeks seems unlikely.
I know Pops will likely see this, tell your boy to heal up well. The real fans will be missing his NFG racing, and we hope to see him back when he’s ready.
Critical for digestion, and dangerous when it malfunctions.
I'm most concerned or maybe "interested' is a better word, in how the other injuries will heal and how that pancreas injury will evolve.
And I'm sure he will make a comeback. I mean look at all of the freestyle guys that have had the craziest injuries ever, and many still ride today! Seriously tough kid.

i have the same scar as Forkner, i didn't have to have the drain tubes though.
hope he heals up, it's going to be a long road back. losing a spleen is no bueno
He was reported in the newspapers in Belgium and elsewhere as having died.
I'm unsure of the time frame of his return to racing that year - It's locked in my scone it was only 2 weeks, but think it might have really been 2 months?
Still, he did the GPs, finishing 5th that year, while Mikkola won the title.
The Man looks fit as a fiddle, as they say, to this day - cycling etc. I dare to say he's much fitter than the majority of us here, at 75.
Stroupe went down a dark path with injury and drug addiction. No need to pile on Forkner's situation with this innuendo.
The reason a lot of guys end up going that way , is because they come back too soon and have to look for 'help' just to put in a days work.
Knowing now, that he doesnt have to be fit and ready to go until East Coast SX , will let him take the time he needs to get back the health he is going to need for the rest of his life, before he even thinks about getting on a bike.
