The guy has worked so hard on his comebacks. To bad donut boy cross jumped him. He is really a good dude. ✌️🏻

[@LiveFreeMoto]

yeah true. but he's caused more than enough of his own injures you can't blame it all on jett

[@scunge72]

Goooo Jett !!!

[@JBarnes917]

Lmao did Jett cross him up this last time? You can’t count how many times he has crashed on his own

[@scunge72]

@@JBarnes917 That was a racing incident with forkner. If you watched it !!

[@JBarnes917]

@@scunge72 what are you even talking about? Did you read the original post?

[@motofevermedia1]

Austin did technically Finish the sx season in 17 (his sx debute season) but he still missed some rounds with a hip injury. He has entered sx every year since 17 and never completed all the rounds.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

So still hasn’t finished one since

[@didickcheeseburger]

forkners been too quiet for anyone to think hes coming back anytime soon. probably not at all this year

[@LiveFreeMoto]

Who knows. Can’t believe he’s done though

[@teemotoponly]

wonder what it was that they found

[@LiveFreeMoto]

good question pulp didn't say

[@Timmysthompson]

Sadly it's probably nerve damage and high percentage things could get bad w/ another crash

[@LiveFreeMoto]

that would not surprise me

[@MrMarcopolo18]

well damn

[@LiveFreeMoto]

agreed

[@Nathan-ef3us]

When is the last time he completed every round in a series?

[@LiveFreeMoto]

Not since 2017 I think

[@mxracing6]

I thought I heard or read somewhere that Mitch (Pro Circuit) has had to let him go. Mitch can't afford to keep paying for riders that don't produce results. As much as you feel for the kid, and Mitch has been very generous with patience for Folkner with his injuries, some of them being not his fault at all, wrong place wrong time.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

I mean he hasn’t finished a season since like 2017 and they’ve stuck with him this long

[@kennethdocken4802]

Heard he crashed again training for the outdoors on cooksie media

[@LiveFreeMoto]

Who knows what really happened

[@amateurpokeradventures]

that sucks

[@Sleepy.Time.]

massively talented rider but he is like a magnet to the ground, honestly he should move on from the sport before he can only move using a wheelchair

[@LiveFreeMoto]

yeah at least try the 450 ride before you can't get there

[@Sleepy.Time.]

@@LiveFreeMoto trouble is i don't think anyone but Mitch would offer him a factory level ride at this point, maybe PC would set him up with a 450 if he can manage to get healthy

[@craigbranstrom4749]

They found that he has crash syndrome. He rides way over his head.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

lol crash syndrome nice

[@jamespatterson2002]

this coming from a c rider ....piss off

[@Milokitty-en5nb]

He’s a bit of a tool. Fast, but obviously not consistent.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

Consistency on being hurt

[@wcz61]

Retire ! Black Cloud follows you. You walk your married you made good money. Let your wife move on with her career and you can support that. And maybe get back into moto once hers is moving well and become a trainer. Listen to reason.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

the safer route for sure

[@jpesicka999]

If I was him and I read that I would 100% come back next season. Just take MX off and unwind.

[@peacefulwarrior4078]

I like sexton as a rider but be honest Eli's SUDDEN INJURY gifted chase that supercross championship last year and did he retain it this year ?NOPE Austin is good rider with more then his share of misfortunes ,injuries and BAD LUCK

[@LiveFreeMoto]

Yeah can’t win if you don’t finish the season

[@user-kt3yo3dc5h]

Forkner sucks, give it up.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

He’ll crash himself into retirement

[@user-it61350]

He needs to retire otherwise very good chance he dies on live T.V and nobody wants to see that

[@Nathan-ef3us]

Contact falling out - sorry, not buying it. I’ve been wearing contacts longer than this kid has been alive and it’s never happened.

[@Natedoc808]

I’ve had them fall out snowboarding, MTB, golfing, surfing and riding moto. Got lasik 15 years ago because of the inconvenience.

[@LiveFreeMoto]

I mean it’s not an unheard of thing.

[@unstoppableplayz6948]

Yeah bro, it does happen. Not often but 1x a year easily.

[@Natedoc808]

@@unstoppableplayz6948 some people it happens to more often and brand of contact matters, especially if people have dry eyes. I had a girlfriend in high school that would have one fall out at least once a week in class from the dry conditioned air.

[@motofevermedia1]

How many supercross races have you done without them falling out?
