Super impressive ride though, it is hard to imagine that kind of pressure as a 16 year old!

But he's 16, and that was his second SX. He just gave everyone a preview of what's to come for him.
I really hope he stays injury free, he seems like such a smart rider that already knows his limits. His brother is probably the one that has to catch up now. :D
I honestly thought he would slide backward a little, was expecting Craig to come by with in a couple of laps, then 3-4 laps in he is right on Forkner's pace, watching learning and picked up the pace of the guy who should have and all but did win the championship last year.
Then you think to yourself, Forkner is now 21, a few years in this class and this 16-year-old kid has latched on and picked up his pace.
I know it is just one race, well 3/4s of a race, and we should not get to carried away, but that was dam impressive.

Now lets hope that he can stay healthy through this SX season and that he can come into the outdoors as a contender.
And everyone knows how freaking tough the EMX250 class is.
When you consider that he hasn't grown up with sx the way most young riders do in the US, it makes it even more hardcore
He raced his first 250SX in Melbourne, Australia late November 2019 - and was clearing stuff that only a couple of the 450's were attempting.
JL cracked the 2nd fastest lap time at St Louis; 0.16 of a second slower than Cooper and faster than Forkner's best.
