Did they really remove Forkner’s brain? Will this help or hurt his results with Triumph?


Edit-sorry the discussion on the pulp show from Darks interview with him made me lol, if that offends you or if you haven’t heard it your loss…

I'll have a hard time watching him race.  I mean one more good hit and he may not get up again...ever.

if they genuinely removed his brain and he comes back to win a title, you cannot tell me, that it isn’t the greatest comeback in the sports history. Maybe even the greatest comeback in all of sports. 

remember to add all the other injuries to his case aswell.

I'd argue not being able to think would be a performance enhancing procedure in our sport haha

If that were the case, don't you think some of the brain trust around here would be at the top of the sport instead of posting on Vital?

Forkner always seems to stick his wheel somewhere there isn't enough space, so maybe they just updated his brain's firmware.............I'm rooting for him this year.

Yak is fairly intelligent… And doesn’t even know how to be a dick.   

“Removed the brain” is an oversimplification of a highly complex procedure.  Maybe it didn’t need a poll included, but the wording during the interview, was a little alerting. It made me curious for sure.

You mean when Jett nearly killed him in 2022 by cross jumping into him?

He'll be a contender this year.

I'll second this motion. Final deliberations will be held Jan. 11, 2025

There's an exception to every rule, that was one of the few crashes he didn't take himself out.

Can't feel the arm pump if there are no receptors in the brain. (Or brain to process the pain signals!) I think it would work!

Surgical removal, known as resection. Surgery may be recommended if the brain AVM has bled or is in an area that can easily be reached. In this procedure, the surgeon removes part of the skull to gain access to the AVM.

With the help of a high-powered microscope, the surgeon seals off the AVM with special clips and carefully removes it from surrounding brain tissue. The surgeon then reattaches the skull bone and closes the incision in the scalp.

Resection usually is done when the AVM can be removed with little risk of hemorrhage or seizure. AVMs that are in deep brain regions carry a higher risk of complications, and other treatments may be recommended.’
