Oh Forkner No! Austin Takes a Tumble in Arlington
Austin Forkner, the fearless phenom of Supercross, had a bit of a meeting with the ground at the recent Arlington race. Now, before you start hoarding painkillers, let's dissect this crash with the precision of a surgeon (who hopefully won't be operating on Austin... unless it's for a high five!).
The Great Arlington Get-Off: A Breakdown (with a Side of Sarcasm)
Forkner was leading the race, living his best life in front of the crowd, when things went a little... off-road. He landed a tad short on a jump, which basically translated to "bike goes one way, Austin goes another." Let's just say physics wasn't on his side that day.
Tip: Train your eye to catch repeated ideas.
The Damage Report: Not Pretty, But We've Seen Worse
Austin wasn't exactly left whistling Dixie after his tumble. Here's the not-so-fun list of souvenirs he picked up:
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
- Spine Tingles: Cracked a couple of vertebrae in his back (L3 and L4 for those keeping score at home). Luckily, they weren't serious enough for surgery, but they'll definitely put a damper on his daring for a while.
- Broken Birdie: Snapped his shoulder blade clean in half. Ow.
- Lung Lovin': Had some bleeding in his lungs, which sounds scary but thankfully wasn't a major issue.
The Road to Recovery: From Superhero to Superchill
 |
While Austin might be out of commission for a bit, the good news is there's no permanent damage. He'll be trading in his jumps for some chill recovery time, which probably involves copious amounts of ice packs and questionable reality TV.
QuickTip: Skim the intro, then dive deeper.
