How capable is a Carrera frame for jumping?

[anon4]

I have been hucking it around the street lately trying to get my (limited) BMX skills back and I was thinking of hitting some real jumps with this beast. Now I know the forks will be crap on anything that gives decent air, but are the rims and frames capable do you think? I used a slanted kerb as a kicker and had a nasty rear heavy landing, think I bottomed out the tyre. So after stotting the rim off the floor and somehow not getting a pinch flat nothing broke. If I start regularly hitting big stuff I will get rid of the suntour xcm as I know they are likely to fail but just wondered about the rest

apart from the wheels frame and forks snapping in half you should be fine lol.

I think the answer to this is time will tell

I don't do anything big yet, I'm sure it will be fine even with the current shitty fork I'm too chicken **** for big air unless there's grass to land on

I destroyed a haro cross country bike jumping, well the wheels anyway. They were like pringles in the end, single wall. The crappy fork survived it all including some badly cased landings, crashes and 6ft air onto flat ground. The cromo frame was a beast too. This Carrera feels like a tank in comparison but aluminium frame makes me nervous. The stiffness of it makes it feel like you broke something every time the back wheel gets a jolt

Was like this one except v brakes and a god awful suntour fork with the rubber slinky things on. Looks like the same frame on this. https://www.bicyclesetc-il.com/product/haro-mary-xc-expert-73635-1.htm

Wow seems it really is capable of quite a bit of abuse
