So are you guys saying that the new sleds with the Mono Shock suspension would not make a good ditch banger? If so, that's not good news for me cause I when I do ride the ditches I want to be able to ride them as hard as I want to. That is of course if I get an Attak like I'm thinking about.

I don't think you will have any problems with the Attak as a ditch banger. I don't think I would classify the Attak as a Ditch Banger though. You should be able to hit the ditches as hard as you want but I don't think it's gonna stand up to a 100 ft launch off a field approach though but what suspension is. I have not rode the mono shock yet so my opinion is probably not the best one. Personally I'm not worried about it.

There are a few guys who still ride 2-strokes in MX, but Id say the majority of bikes are 4-strokes.
The powerband is so much wider on a 4-stroke, so it gives you a much wider margin of error in terms of timing your shifts.
Also, 4-strokes have a lot more engine braking, so you can run a lot deeper into a corner than on a 2-stroke. When they first switched Moto GP over to 4-strokes a few years ago, the riders found out that they could actually pull FASTER lap times even though it didnt feel like they were riding any harder.
Sorry to get off-topic, just answering 2Blue's question.
