Thanks for the warnings and advice everyone. Don't worry, I'm not trying to jump over any buses or anything. I just want to be able to come up out of a bowl and jump up 1 or 2 feet (once in a while). I just want to learn to do it right. Thanks, I'll be careful. Jim

At the risk of encouraging you, www.devonjarvisphoto.com/flying_650.jpg I tried this 4-5 times so my riding buddy could get a good photo At the time I had progressive front springs but the stock rear suspension. I bottomed either the front or rear on every landing but one. I have the progressive rear spring now, and have done small jumps on whoops, without any bottoming. Best $90 (not including installing it) to spend on suspension, next to the front springs. I agree with most of what's been said, and would only add a few things...... If you can jump without bottoming when you land you won't damage anything, but you will wear out suspension components etc. faster than if you were putting around town (obviously). Jumping on the stock suspension is a mistake, but 1 or 2 feet isn't a problem. Devon A15 jim7j7@... wrote:

Some of the trails I was riding at Rampart Range last friday had me up in the air like this and I got both front and back bottoming quite a bit. Seemed to make a difference how I landed, although I'm pretty new to jumping. I was wondering though, what setting do you have your rear suspension set to? Mine's on 2 but I bet it wouldn't bottom out on 5 ! How about pumping some air into those front forks?
