Supercross Star Forkner's Eye-Opening Decision!

After a gnarly wipeout in Arlington that could've ended in tragedy, Austin Forkner, the daredevil of Supercross, is revolutionizing his race game with Lasik surgery. Imagine blitzing full-throttle on a demanding dirt track and then—boom!—your contact lens plays Houdini, leaving you half-blind. That's what happened to Forkner during the intense 250 East race opener. But the guy's unbreakable; he bounced back on his feet the next day, strolling out of the hospital with his partner Rylee by his side.

"Lost a lens, took a fall, now I'm ditching contacts for life," says Forkner on his Insta, keeping his fans in the loop. The sharpshooter posted a slick clip of his Lasik leap of faith, courtesy of Rylee's TikTok skills, proving his vision's no longer on the fritz.

Forkner's resilient but he's no stranger to the hurt locker—spine and scapula took a hit in that concrete kiss. He's coy on the comeback deets but rest assured, his sights are set beyond the blurry bouts.

Stay tuned — this Supercross saga's just gearing up!
