Obviously cool! 
Yes they were big and heavy, and not very good. But when we were all 14/15/16 we all wanted one. They are pretty useless in reality but then again if you were seriously looking for suspension then you would go straight to forks, but these were probably aimed at people who were either A) weight conscious or more importantly B) couldn't afford the £300 for proper suspension.
Whether we now know them to be crap or not it doesnt matter.....cool cool cool!!
