but owell. I was wondering why most of all the FMX riders are riding 2 stroke. Can some one tell me the difference of doing freestyle with a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke??

yea a 2 stroke engine produces more power so it doesnt have to be as big.

being lighter it they have less inertia so its easier to move them

it's because they don't have enough skill to do what they do on a 4-stroke

No, actually none of them did. The real reason is that with any 4 stroke, letting off the throttle in the air is similar to hittin the rear brake...it drops the front end. With a 2 stroke they can take their hands off the bars without the bars falling away from them in the air.
