    jumping the hard tail

    anything bad about jumping with a hard tail?? i took mine over a few today, and everything seems fine, landed correctly, little rough though ... i was only worried that it might be hard on the axle to do that often.

    I "bunny hop" my trimoto ALL THE TIME about a foot or two. Never had any problems, just don't get too crazy. I even widened mine 3", so that makes it even worse.

    Jumping is ill advised ...... although I used to do it on my '84 200S all the time. If you go too high or get off kilter on take off, you will pogo out of control.

    I used to run my YT 175 over little jumps all the time and it was fine. Just keep things relatively calm and you should be fine.

    I jump my 110 all the time, not huge scary MX-type airs, of course, but a good 2-3 feet. The front end is welded up cause I broke it once, and its a good machine, just a bit bouncy on landing.
