Funny...I just answered this on ridemonkey...
You can do it on a ht, but the body does eventually give you payback...(well to most people)...I like a full sus...feels much better and doesn't hurt anything (unless I fall)
I have several friends who go huge on ht's (pretty common here)...but when they messup...well, it is generally a lot more painful looking.
That said...starting with a ht is very helpful. You get a feel for timing in the air and you learn how to ride well...I just don't believe in it as a lifelong choice
