First of all a bikes capabilities are never more than the capabilities of the rider so you should never try something that you don't believe you can do even if you watch someone else on the same quad doing the same stunt. I would not recommend jumping this bike unless you are a very experienced rider. Dad has a 360 kvf and I know from experience how little acceleration these bikes have. When you hit a jump you need to gas it off the lip so you don't nose dive and even when I get right back on the bike I have trouble keeping her nose up. Rock Crawling, again not a good idea. you might get away with playing on a few small rocks but crawling is a 4 wheel drive game. Mudding would present no real dangers but with a 2 wheel drive your gona need some real good tires and a buddy to pluck you out of the mud. Next lets look at some upgrades. I always recommend starting off with a good air filter (K&N) because it has the most performace per buck.A good tire is usually around 6 ply because they are harder to puncture (more plys means the thicker the rubber is in your tire). For more upgrades your going to need to focus your game on an area because upgrades for mudding are different for those say of jumping for example. Advice for mudding: Don't get stuck. But seriously a winch is a must have, bring a buddy to tow you out, a rope of course is necessary. All bikes are different in the mud. Some like to take their time and pick their way and others just like to go full throttle and send mud 30 feet in the air. You got to experiment and what ever gets you stuck less go with that.
