Forkner is a savage.

Tougher than a $3 steak!

Dude is a sicko. He’s had multiple insane crashes that had people here thinking it’s time to hang up the boots, but he’s always like, “absolutely fucking not, I’m coming back”

After watching that video, Austin definitely has to be regarded as one of the toughest and gutsiest riders out there!  Overcoming multiple injuries season after season, he just doesn’t quit.  Seeing that young rider saying that he didn’t want to come back to racing after breaking both arms, but after seeing Austin back on the track after his last injury he was inspired to get back on the bike, was pretty amazing. 
That cover of “Zombie” at the end of the video was awesome, and absolutely fitting!! Austin just keeps coming back! 

Austin did well for himself 😯

I don’t know much about Austin but I DO know the guy doesn’t want to be a farmer like his dad or whatever is that his dad does and he really wants to race dirt bikes.   I’m rooting for him

I felt his pain when he went under the shower after moto 1

The clips with the fans cheering as he goes by added with the music is eye watering…

I am neither here or there, but I do recall when Austin would have a crash and lay there forever. Everyone jumped on him for being dramatic. Now he’s one of the toughest riders out there. How the turn tables indeed. 

I mechanic for riders in the Oklahoma City area now. I did work on my dads farm for years while Austin was growing up. And he does not want to do that for a living!!!

That part was some of the best content I’ve seen in a minute.  Hope the kid gets it figured out and becomes a player next year. 

Nobody can deny forkner has heart and talent.  The only guy doing the Trey Canard Flick’.  Hes definitely put in years of fitness and hard work, kids had a six pack since he was 12.  Hes beaten sexton straight up so many times, imagine him on a 450 

Yeah, it shows.  The kid is determined.  I just watched his Vlog for the first time after commenting.  That's some good content!!  Him enduring that post-race shower was just like me and my bro thought it would be - and then there's the next morning and many to follow of peeling himself off the sheets.  Good edit, Quality production.  I just want to see him make a decent career out of it - as I do for all the guys who pour their blood sweat and tears into the meat grinder thats US Pro Motocross.  See ya Friday Austin

I was not a fan of his political stances but I've always loved him as a racer.  He's a moto stud.  Keeps getting up and doing it.  I will always admire heart and guts.  Pretty much what he's made of.  Go get 'em tiger.

Am a fan. 

That video was fuckin' awesome! Imagine if he had gotten the holeshot 2nd moto with that editing, so close!

I am torn if being honest...not a fan, guy is made of glass. BUT the mfr sure is tough, no doubt about that. 

well that sentence doesn’t make alot of sense 🤦‍♂️

"Made of glass" implies that the person or thing breaks very easily. Yes, Forkner has had a lot of injuries, but everyone of those injuries has been from a gnarly crash. It's not like he tips over in a corner and breaks his femur. 

How long is he signed with Pro Circuit? Wonder if a change of scenery would amp up his program.

He has a contract through 2024.

It’s go time for AF and he knows it. This will be fun to watch!

Forkner has; and always has had, world class speed that can't be taught.  That dude has had shit for days racing luck, but would love nothing more than to see him go win Unadilla!

Numerous injuries and time lost is numerous injuries and time lost. No question he is tough to keep coming back.

Then your comprehension and interpretation skills are pretty slow.

Dude has been to hell and back and I'm rooting for him to salvage his career. I'd really like to see what he could do on a 450.
