Bike for two foot drops onto concrete

MelvinoelGreat

I have a Trek 3700 from around 2004 with 63 mm front RST shocks. I like doing numerous 2 foot (I measured it) drops onto flat concrete and also grass, and small jumps about 2 foot high onto flat concrete when I land. It seem a bit rough sometimes, and parts have come loose.

Is this a good bike for this type of activity or should I upgrade?

Not really.

It's a cross country moutain bike. What kind of riding do you actually do?

2' foot drops are doable on all bikes with correct technique,

how are you landing it, Are you absorbing the impacy effiecently with your knees?

Sounds like a strange pastime, but tighten them up.

That's probably what they said to Hans Rey back in the day...
