It's good when it's fun, not when guys throw brains out the windows and make stupid dangerous moves to try to keep ahead.
A funny memory like BMX kid I remember being a post-high school teen on MTB with friend seeing how far we could keep up with roadies as the benchmark you compare to.
I saw a couple high school teens last year girl/boy on average bikes with some work commuters around, after a downhill they must have felt good/quick.
The male teen says to female "lets catch up to the fast one", so guy starts off riding faster. Almost instantly after cranking hard he notices me in his peripheral, I had taken the road left lane to get out of the slug of bikes (shared path on right side of road in this spot).
He looks across to see my fairly obvious electric bike pedalling past them, guy sighs in futility "awww farrrk" and gives up as more riders come up on them it seemed in the moment he was making a race of it commuters of all shapes were swamping them from all directions =D
