1. Gorilla on a beach ball effect. You can throw them around like a rag doll. Compared to your full size bike, these are small toys in big hands.
2. Hop up potential. The sky is the limit and every mod makes a huge difference. I had an old Jet Ski that I sunk money into and it got slower. You can't make these any slower.
3. Gang warfare. You get your buddies together and ride, soon you are racing, soon you are slamming and jamming and smiling from ear to ear.
4. Make me faster. First time your ride your fiddy you go pretty good, second time better, after a summer of cutting laps you can run with 'lil Goose. Yeah right.
5. Air time. Leaping your little guy is an art, they are twitchy and squirrelly once their feet leave the ground, but in time you figure it out and little jumps seem like a big deal. I still can't imagine those video jumpers gapping 40 feet. They are completely insane.
6. Bling Bling. Hopping up is nice and added performance comes easy, but Santa can also make that dweazel a showpiece. Gas caps and valve cam covers top the list of excess.
7. Legs. Who doesn't dream about a great pair, well there are many to choose from in the fiddy world. Springs, oil, elastomer, they are all out there and work great.
8. Wheelies. I used to be able to walk around my high school on my old SP370 on the back wheel, what happened? Now I'm dogpaddling at 20 feet. Old age and slow reflexes. You don't need to stop with the back wheel, stoppies are even harder.
9. Kids. These were invented for kids, and they still work great for them, even hopped and jacked up. What better way to keep your kid away from bad elements than to have him riding with you.
10. and last but not least, potential. There is always something new and interesting going on with these. There are races, pros, girls, boys, tires, graphics, magazines, chat rooms, websites by the ton (the links page is huge), and shops all in there and in the mix. Everyone that rides knows about it, its huge and here to stay.
