AUSTIN FORKNER
The young rookie is living up to the hype and proving himself week in and week out. With a magnificent amateur career, the industry expected Austin Forkner to see the same success in the pro ranks. Many riders are expected to do this, and Austin is one of the few who is making it happen. With incredible
family support and equally incredible industry support, Austin is going very fast on his PRO CIRCUIT / KAWASAKI. With some incredible finishes so far in his rookie season, Austin has collected two overall podiums including a 2nd place at the last race in Washington where he won his first ever career moto. This weekend, the series heads to the northeast to Unadilla. This track is a similar track to Washougal and it will not be surprising if Austin can get back up there. This weekend at Unadilla will only be Austin’s tenth race as a pro. The Missouri native is handling the pressure well and should be a contender for the win for many years to come.
