I often wondered how the short travel 4x rigs handled big hits of bike parks.

I'd think that they'd be a bit long for sharing jumps with BMX bikes, and a bit too stiff for the really intense DH sections.

Opinions?

it's not for technical, steep, or rocky terrain, but for your flowing berm and jump trails it's ace... clearing every jump Diablo has to offer. I was also hitting the biggest wooden kicker ramp gap (more like a drop) there, zero issues. It's no BMX bike, but is basically the same size as my Mob. When your jumps require tons of pump to clear the next set it can be a little sluggish. With racing MX I dont get a chance to ride bicycles to often, but when I do, I want this bike.
