Do you buy a toyota tercel to go off road? Why are you people taking little $20 bikes off the road. Those bikes broke when we were kidsand rode them, when our kids rode them, and probably our kids kids cheap bikes will probably be crap too. Just because it has a shock doesn't mean you can drop no more than our bikes with the old plastic gas tank needed a filkl up. Give your heads a shake. If you plan on going on trails and giver heck then spend a couple hundred and go to a store that knows what they are doing. If you are buying trail bikes at WalMArt then don't bother with the helmet, it's too late.
