@beaud.b2822we don’t have to do better to see the consistency issues for a whole season. He is however stupid fast when he isn’t on the ground. I respect the commitment
I feel like he will get a championship at some point..he is sick on the bike, more bad ass than his Bike skill is how he overcomes those gnarly injuries mentally enough to get back to a professional level of racing each time gnarly!
I witnessed the Arlington crash from front row. Fkn gnarly. Austin is going to have a hell of a redemption arc and I'm all for it. So glad he's still in good spirits and not giving up after all he's been through. Heart like a lion. I'll be getting some Forkner merch.
i remember Austin being the next big thing. it is a shame all the crashes. I wish anyone who rides the best. ill be watching over the next few days since i don't have the time to sit through the who thing at once. always good to hear these guys share their experiences since all we get is what is shown on tv.
First impressions, Forkner is a great personality , free talker and is great to hear speak his honest opinion. What I’m hearing is that he will never win an outdoor overall or even a moto because he’s not fully committed to the grind that the top outdoors guys are. Not knocking him at all the honesty is refreshing. He and his teammate are two of my favorites but explains why he’s average outdoors.
I don't think that's why. I think it's because he's a similar muscle type to roczen. Austin is a monster early in races, fades bc he's a fast twitch guy. He can train as much as he wants but a sprinter will never be a long distance runner and same for a long distance runner turning into a sprinter. That's what makes the end of races so exciting, some are building at the end of races (deegan/webb) and some are fading (roczen/forkner)
@nickmoren5742 and I didn't mean to say your perspective was wrong, more so giving you another way to look at it. Cheers tho i appreciate the proper discussion on here. Far and few between haha
I absolutely love this kid! Inspiring is an understanding for what he is, huge shoutout to Riley in the midst of that insanely intense moment at Arlington for calming everyone down, and I absolutely agree that the athletes who have a story are the ones that actually have an impact ✊, appreciate the podcast it’s a therapy session for me 🫡
I had to stop listening. My brain was hurting. At some point he said 5 likes followed by an “I mean“ followed by a like. Will try to give it another go later.
I was a fan of Austin before the wreck. Now I hope he really makes an epic comeback he's very deserving on top of his hard work to get back to "healthy". Go get em kid don't let anyone tell you no !
I just wish we could get 3 solid injury free years to see what he is truly capable of. I would be willing to bet that year 2 and 3 would be title years
Great interview. Motocross has a long list of guys having broken bodies and tough assignments characters and austin is certainly at the top end of this list and his story is still not over.tough sport tough characters
That’s prob one of the best pod casts to date. AF is so funny and good at describing emotions how human a top rider actually is. I was a fan already now even more !
Forkner has always been fast as hell but will never wrap my head around his injury and crash curse... Genuinely feel bad for him for getting the shit end of the stick. It has to take a hell of a lot of determination to have so many gnarly crashes and come back so hungry every time. Respect to the dude big time, can't imagine what the pro life is like privateer or factory.
on my way to work went looking for another one start and this gem is right here let’s go ! what’s up austin 🤙 glad ur okay i rember watching your crash live i jumped out of bed bro
I honestly think outdoors should be during the winter months and supercross during the summer. Your racing at night with supercross a little cooler temps and outdoors with colder temps. Fans can enjoy more, riders will enjoy it more so they do not heat stroke.
From now on a big fun of Forkner! So authentic and so honest about everything he spoke about! On of the best episodes ever! I wish the best for the future mate!!
I raced Karts for a number of years. When Austin spoke about lap times and if you are locked in or it just comes as far as keeping a consistent lap time.. can confirm, you have to be locked in, hitting your marks every single lap. You have to stay on the exact race line and not a bit wide around a corner or your lap time is down. Even at the speed of a kart, being just off is going to limit the lap time. Imagine a berm blowing out, you come for the corner slower. Well, cars are effected the same if you come in to fast, it causes a slow exit and you loose time to the kart/car in front/ behind.
Cool dude! I hope he overcomes all of it! Its too much for a youg and talented lad like him... Funny part is the thousant times he says "like" ! 🤣 great rider and nice persona. Keep it up A.F, thanks Mr. Jase McAlpine.
@@denniswilder3014 still, being a professional in any field you gotta know how to speak. Helps with fan base, media engagement, sponsorship just to name a few.
I live at the base of big bear basically, near San Bernardino. I can snowboard, and go to the beach in the same day. I can go ride my bike, and still have time to do whatever in the same day. The LA / coastal traffic is just different
Wasn't a big Forkner fan his first few years, but as he's matured and seeing him come back time after time, be so humble and honest about shit like Anderson... I can't wait to cheer for him next season!
On the topic of muscles not firing/being extremely weak, despite efforts to strengthen. I had major trauma to my back from a dirtbike accident years ago. Long story short, there are very few doctors who know about it, but there is a technique that will re-sync your nerves, and “turn your muscles back on”. It sounds stupid and crazy, I know. But this literally changed my life, and the life’s of many family members who were living with extreme pain
Love the vid Gypsy! You should try to get Ty Masterpool in soon, or maybe after this MX season. I've heard bits and pieces of his story but I think you'd be able to give more fans a greater understanding of his life and story over the last few years
I'm a fan and always have been I actually raced in professional not at your level. But every symptoms that you speak of I've had the coughing up blood was my scarred moment I'm going to a different doctor thanks to you. I'm a fan and hope the best for you. The breathing thing to !! Thanks guys good stuff
Love the pod. Why is there such a delay between YT upload and Spotify? Is it deliberate? Or just a tech thing. Would be sick for them to go up same time as I prefer to download and listen as it’s kinder to my phones battery whilst I listen at work.
He seems pretty genuine and I like him. I just wish he didn’t talk about the same topic and around the same subject 15,000 times.! But i guess he was trying hard. Scribe
Austin’s says his story is not over till he gets his hands on Jett Lawrence for hurting him in Arlington but things have changed Jett got injured surprise surprise surprise to all the riders and he said his story won’t end till he wins the monster energy Supercross 450 championship because Austin living his best life with the money, he got the hot monster girl, and he never catches a break saying he’s the best 250 rider to the hospital.
Austin is an incredible testimony. 90% of humans would be bitter and jealous if they would have lived through the disappointments that he has endured. I'm sure he has his moments of reflection when he does question God. But, this kid is so present and in the now and you can tell in his clear eyes and smile and his animation that he is a true lover of life! The sad reality is that Austin has a very slim chance of ever getting a title. But, I can see him being like a Kenny and will have a few shining moments of glory while soaking in the pleasure and enjoyment of the sport. His personality is engaging. And, energetic. And, passionate. All are traits that would be a terrific addition to a broadcast booth. Sorry, AC, you're a nice guy, but you're very vanilla dull. Best of luck to Austin. Praying for the end to your injuries. Hopefully we'll see you on the starting gate very soon.
What is it about kawi riders ALWAYS HURT AC Austin Hammaker Mcadoo maybe they need to take advice from Anderson he’s been the healthiest & Levi..great video Austin is a fuckin Warrior keep going bro 🖤🙏🏼
Cali weather sucks I framed houses and commercial buildings all day. One time it was 115 my Forman said let’s get this one thing done. 9 hours and when I drive home my whole body locked up I had to pull over on the freeway and walk around. Then I didn’t go to work the next day and slept
When you’re looking that forward down the tunnel to know what’s gonna happen before it happens it’s not easy to do in motocross but people do it. It’s possible there’s too many people I could point out that made it work.
I would like to see nothing more than forkner have the successful seasons he’s capable of and deserves. Hopefully all his bad luck is over and he can quit getting hurt. That kid has more grit than anyone and is like the little terminator lol. Keeps getting back up and trying again
fuck me i was interested in listening to this one but like..like,yea,like,whatever like,,like…yea right,like like…jeeeez couldnt do it,was like,too much to listen to like…😩🤯
If I had crashed as many times as Forkner, I would view that as a sign from God! It seems to me like he has another path for Austin! With that being said…. My plan at BEST is mediocre in comparison to plan God has for me. That applies to everyone who believes and even for the ones who don’t. I just hope everyone who reads this will think about that for a second.
Here’s an idea. Let’s mix in all the motos during supercross season that way there’s breaks plus it changes things up plus it would be cooler so much so that you could have a couple motos in the south east.
Austin has been one of my favorite riders the last couple years. I hope he has a legendary comeback
Austin is the realist and most honest guest yet. Just so passionately himself. ❤
Forkner is the much needed friend who keeps things on redline non stop in everyday activities.. full of life 💯
When Austin wins his first title it’s gonna be the most overdue thing in racing history
He has to learn how to stay on the bike first
If*💀💀ur acting like it’s inevitable when he has shown it’s not..
@beaud.b2822 what type of a comeback is that💀I don’t ride a motorcycle professionally🤣goofy ass
@beaud.b2822we don’t have to do better to see the consistency issues for a whole season. He is however stupid fast when he isn’t on the ground. I respect the commitment
I feel like he will get a championship at some point..he is sick on the bike, more bad ass than his Bike skill is how he overcomes those gnarly injuries mentally enough to get back to a professional level of racing each time gnarly!
Seeing what he’s went through this year and he still wants to
Race next year is crazy I’ve never wanted someone to win a championship so much ever
I witnessed the Arlington crash from front row. Fkn gnarly. Austin is going to have a hell of a redemption arc and I'm all for it. So glad he's still in good spirits and not giving up after all he's been through. Heart like a lion. I'll be getting some Forkner merch.
Same.. It was scary shit. Glad he was able to even stand after that one.
same the way he slammed into the wall after sliding across the ground was super gnarly and isn’t really shown in the crash videos
Same here man, when I saw him flying we all screamed NOOOOOOO
i remember Austin being the next big thing. it is a shame all the crashes. I wish anyone who rides the best. ill be watching over the next few days since i don't have the time to sit through the who thing at once. always good to hear these guys share their experiences since all we get is what is shown on tv.
Resilient = Austin ⚡️
@@DGW2013Absolutely! 100% a Gnarly Ass Dude! A True Man's Man!
Yeah it's crazy to think he's been a pro for 8 years already
He’s the real OG man, I have nothing but respect for the dude.
Austin is so authentic, makes his interviews so much better
I've never heard the word like so many times Ever!!!
Take a drink for every time forkner says like. 😂☠️⚰️
Like dude, You would like die from like alcohol poisoning
I like it
buddy's a mx rider, not a scholar
Thsi didtn end wel fro me.. me drknu now
You would’ve drowned in the first 30 minutes.
Hope this kid gets a championship he’s a solid kid very grounded
Forkner has SO MUCH TALENT, I hope and pray he can stay healthy and really show everyone what’s up
I met Austin’s dad as we were randomly paired together at a golf course. He was a great guy and truly stands by his kid.
Jayce doing Missouri dirty saying Austin is in Oklahoma!! Missouri has some of the Greatest MX tracks in the country! Plus the best dirt in SX!
Well, you two just made everybody love you too guys even more after this podcast!
First impressions, Forkner is a great personality , free talker and is great to hear speak his honest opinion. What I’m hearing is that he will never win an outdoor overall or even a moto because he’s not fully committed to the grind that the top outdoors guys are. Not knocking him at all the honesty is refreshing. He and his teammate are two of my favorites but explains why he’s average outdoors.
every single riders gonna agree that outdoors is a fuckin grind. No rider will disagree with that.
I don't think that's why. I think it's because he's a similar muscle type to roczen. Austin is a monster early in races, fades bc he's a fast twitch guy. He can train as much as he wants but a sprinter will never be a long distance runner and same for a long distance runner turning into a sprinter. That's what makes the end of races so exciting, some are building at the end of races (deegan/webb) and some are fading (roczen/forkner)
@@soren00024 I like that take. Didn’t think of it in that manner. Good perspective. Thanks. 👍🏻

Did anyone get a count on the number of uses of the word "Like" in this video? 2000?
I had to stop listening. My brain was hurting. At some point he said 5 likes followed by an “I mean“ followed by a like. Will try to give it another go later.
I was a fan of Austin before the wreck. Now I hope he really makes an epic comeback he's very deserving on top of his hard work to get back to "healthy". Go get em kid don't let anyone tell you no !
Best podcast I’ve ever listened to wow I actually listened to every minute and loved it
This interview instantly made me his number 1 fan
Amount of times saying "like > entire podcast conversation
I just wish we could get 3 solid injury free years to see what he is truly capable of. I would be willing to bet that year 2 and 3 would be title years
Take a shot every time he says "like"... lol
Literally the first 10 minutes were extremely brutal lol
You would die even if it's water
lol I had to untrain myself to stop saying like and totally dude.
Great interview. Motocross has a long list of guys having broken bodies and tough assignments characters and austin is certainly at the top end of this list and his story is still not over.tough sport tough characters
It was really sad to watch that last crash. AF had the pace to run with the top 5 guys.
That’s prob one of the best pod casts to date. AF is so funny and good at describing emotions how human a top rider actually is. I was a fan already now even more !
Sick !!
Can't wait for his first title when he comes back dude
What a story that will be
Raw speeeeeeeed
love ya austin glad your here brother
Oh boy can't wait to listen to this one
One of your best podys
I’m his number 1 fan. Austin Forkner is the man with a number 1 fan!
Wooww Austin, you are so great and so open about your career and life thanks!!
Your interviews have become so good. Joe Rogan of mx. Austin’s fortitude and resilience is inspiring. Thank you for doing these.
Can this comment get more likes than Austin said like?
Not possible hahaha
Doubtful 😂
Awesome stuff. Was just thinking of Austin prayers up God is good get well 🙏🏻

I’m what you would consider an old prick. And I appreciate Austin and his great taste in music
Watch an old transworld interview with Waimer it is pretty close.
In life, everybody loves someone when they’re up and they forget them when they’re down
One word that completely describes and sums up Forkner "like" 😂😂
Loving this episode!
on my way to work went looking for another one start and this gem is right here let’s go ! what’s up austin 🤙 glad ur okay i rember watching your crash live i jumped out of bed bro
Algorithm hello. Keep going Jase and Gypsy Tales Crew! Doing great work 👍 💯
That intro was 🔥
Jase, you gotta fix your sound levels mate. On Spotify, The audio is super low so when an ad pops up it’s very loud.
Good to see Austin on the comeback. Dude is fast for sure, just hope he can stay on it
Love Austin, this man always comes back with a vengeance. I hope to see a 250 supercross championship next year and then on to the 450s bro.
I honestly think outdoors should be during the winter months and supercross during the summer. Your racing at night with supercross a little cooler temps and outdoors with colder temps. Fans can enjoy more, riders will enjoy it more so they do not heat stroke.
Weston Peicks crash was gnarly too but Austin is my boy always rooting for you bud!!
maybe it’s just the perspective i saw, but i feel like Peicks didn’t look that bad. it was definitely one of the gnarlier injuries tho
@@ethanmartin2781 gnarly indeed
From now on a big fun of Forkner! So authentic and so honest about everything he spoke about! On of the best episodes ever! I wish the best for the future mate!!
Im gonna be rooting my ass off for this kid next year.
Bruh finking sick can’t wait to listen Austin is badass

"We were just up in Northern California for my brain surgery." I mean, how many people can say that so casually?!
Like like like like totally like like.
Indoor one week outdoor the next would be the sickest thing
They used to do something similar to that back in the day, made set up and testing really difficult one week to the next.
This would be GNARLY
So herd to listen to someone using "like" 37 times in a 10 word sentence. So common with these youngsters now days.
Can we get chapters
Cool dude! I hope he overcomes all of it! Its too much for a youg and talented lad like him... Funny part is the thousant times he says "like" ! 🤣 great rider and nice persona. Keep it up A.F, thanks Mr. Jase McAlpine.
Every time he says LIKE hit the LIKE button below.
Kids today can't speak without it. Many adults can't either.

Forkdawg is core moto
Core Super
Finding out Forkdawg watches KOTS fights lol
Good thing this isn't the early days,45+2.
Who wants to count how many times Austin used the word " Like " in this podcast?
Mixing the nationals with Supercross would be a horrible idea. It’s already been done and if a rider is hurt it now affects two championships.
I’m not really a Forkner fan but I’ll admit the kid has grit. He just can’t get a good season
fuck me i was interested in listening to this one but like..like,yea,like,whatever like,,like…yea right,like like…jeeeez couldnt do it,was like,too much to listen to like…😩🤯
