The basic deal is if u have minimal travel the more you are goin to want to land on your rear first then drop the front.

If you ever upgrade to much larger travel frame/fork its better to land on front and back evenly... but even so you can still do a wheelie drop and land the rear wheel first.. the only advantage of landing evenly is you keep your momentum going forward rather than down which is only handy if your in racing situation.
Yeah the rear monoshock only has like 3-4" of travel. Kinda like a dampened hardtail.
