So, How's Our Boy Austin Forkner Doing? A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
Ah yes, Austin Forkner. The smoothest rider on the circuit, with a mane that could rival a lion's (except maybe not after all this hospital drama). Ever since his crash at Arlington, the motocross world has been on pins and needles waiting for an update. Well, buckle up, because we're about to dissect the situation like a mechanic with a brand new toolbox.
The Arlington Incident: A Not-So-Sweet Jump
Let's be honest, that crash was gnarlier than a bowl of alphabet soup after a toddler got ahold of it. We all saw it, we all cringed, and some of us may have offered a silent prayer to the moto gods. Thankfully, Austin seems to be in good spirits, considering the whole "almost meeting his maker" situation.
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.

| How Is Austin Forkner Doing |
The Doc Says...
QuickTip: Treat each section as a mini-guide.
Here's the gist: a fractured back (L3 and L4 to be precise), a broken scapula (ouch!), and a surprise AVM in his brain (kind of like a surprise guest at a party, but way less fun). The good news? The back and scapula are healing on their own, no surgery needed. The AVM, however, required brain surgery, which thankfully went well.
So, When Will We See Him Back on the Bike?

Hold your horses, motocross enthusiasts! The doctors say Austin needs three months to recover before he can even think about getting back on that two-wheeled beast. That basically means the rest of the 2024 season is out. But hey, silver lining! This gives him a full off-season to get healthy and come back stronger than ever for 2025. We can practically smell the podium champagne already!
In Conclusion (Because Let's Be Honest, Attention Spans Are Short These Days)
QuickTip: Take a pause every few paragraphs.
Austin Forkner is on the mend! He's facing this whole thing like a champ, and we should all be sending him positive vibes for a speedy recovery. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go update my fantasy motocross team (sob).
