man, jumpers need to be strong as sh!t, and unless youre experienced, i would stay the hell away and avoid a broken face when you headtube detaches from you downtube

I know a framebuilder that makes custom BMX frames, and they have to be ALOT stronger then any mtb frame.

I was playing with getting one when I snapped my BMX, but they were just to much money for me.
