Dropping 4 ft. to flat is cake. Spend some trials time on your rear wheel. Learn to pedal kick. Now, pedal kick of the loading dock and flip those monkeys off that say you can't do it (or shouldn't). I do it all the time (on a completely rigid bike).

if u got a hard tail an 4 to flat is killer on ur rims even just 4. Ive tacoed a rim on drops to flat not that much bigger than that its just not a great idea on a hardtail

a. Learn how to land.
b. Buy stout rims (xc rims aren't made for this)

I've been going 6 to flat on a rigid...haven't changed a rim yet (okay, I'm a trials rider though).

I dont see how you do it effectively, unless your good, it just hurts when I try it

Yeah, but alot of things hurt if you're not good at them. Don't worry, you jst need to work on them. Drops to flat are an exceptionally valuable skill, don't give up.
