as i see it, mods are more for bigginers, there are alot of top mod riders out there and i really respect them and they could no doubt kill me at riding, but i think mods are more to learn the basics on and stuff. Then when the mod skills are dialed, buy a stock and ride that. Im not just saying this cause i ride a stock, im saying it just cause its my opinion, so im sorry if anyone was offended. So really all that means is it's your choice i guess.
