Through the progression of the sport bikes have evolved nowadays the suspension is so advanced that most the time you got a jump you can hardly feel the landing. Racing has also evolved back then going off the track was almost unheard of but now there’s a whole racing bracket for it. Racing the tracks has also evolved the tracks have evolved to longer and rougher and more physically demanding but with this advance in the tracks means the riders and equipment also has to advance. This means more training and better eating it also means more expensive bikes. On the flip side of it there’s a whole nother side to it which is freestyle. The freestyle scene is very popular from kids and adults going out to the dunes and seeing who can throw the biggest whip or see who can jump the farthest to full on big air competitions and seeing who can throw the biggest whip or even seeing who can do the most backflips or just seeing who can do the craziest truck flying hundreds of get through the air.
