    Austin Forkner Injury Update Following Arlington Supercross!

    By DirtbikeLoverFebruary 25, 2024No Comments2 Mins Read

    Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki’s Austin Forkner had a brutal crash in the Arlington Supercross last night and was immediately taken to the medical center for a checkup. Today, we received an update from his father, Mike Forkner, who posted the update and then decided to delete it. However, we managed to obtain a screenshot of the update, which stated that Austin’s CT scan of his head is good. He has fractured L3 and L4 in his back, which will not require surgery and will heal on its own. He also has a broken scapula, which also does not require surgery. He has been discharged from the hospital and will return home to California.

    Austin Forkner’s Dad Mike posted on social media – Man oh man, what a sport! The highs are high and the lows are pretty low. So proud of Austin for overcoming the adversity and setbacks that he has dealt with the last few years. I’m confident this is just a bump in the road and Austin will be back on top again. Injury update: Austin’s CT Scan on his head came back good. Fractured L3 & L4 in back but no surgery has to heal on its own. He has a broken scapula. Which will heal on its own. So no surgery. They have been discharged from hospital and heading back to California. Thank you for checking on Austin. On a side note: Austin said one of his contacts came out of his eye halfway through the race. Maybe that played a part in miss judging the double. Not making excuses but I feel it played a part.

    That was the original post before he decided to delete it, we guess it was team orders and they want to release first.
