OPINION: What you think?
\n\u201cThe perception of danger today is primarily rooted in how easy it is to ride modern four-strokes, and how little skill is actually necessary before people feel like they can jump things they really shouldn\u2019t be trying to jump. This is especially true of 450s, although it applies to 250s as well.\u201d – Steve Cox on dirt bike riding 2s vs. 4s Then vs now<\/p>\n
