This is true but I'd take it a step further. It's the long track with more aggressive paddles, more advanced suspension and chassis that allow for a "perception" of better handling over various terrain and power plants that put out an insane amount of power. Not that this is bad per say, but for many to go fast, many times to fast is way to tempting. Nevermind all the videos of guys doing some pretty crazy stunts that egg on those dumb enough to tempt fate.

I got nothing against the advances in technology I mean a modern day machine is a far cry from the stuff that was out 15+ years ago, but at the end of the day those that have them need to respect what they can do and use them responsibly. Sadly that's not always the case.
