I've been jumping mine ever since I got it and haven't had any problems. Never even bottomed out the suspension yet and thats after even going on a motocross track.

On the jump at my house I'm getting about 5 feet high, and maybe 20 feet long. I hit that jump like 5 times almost everyday and haven't had a problem yet. As for how far I was jumping at the motocross track, I have no clue, but I was getting some pretty good air a few times.

i have an ozark i know they are different frames but they might have weak spots mine broke in six places, i would check over your frame every once and a while and have fun, if you have a warranty they replace for free anyway

My jump was pretty much natural. It was a step up coming out of the woods into a field. I just used our small Kubota to smooth it out some, and square it up so I would fly a little bit straighter.

we rented a tractor to do some drainage because ours is gonna fall apart soon, and while we still had it, we made my jump. It was about 4 1/2ft high and about 20ft long, but it had a nice landing and a good lip so we got alot of air off it. I must have jumped it atleast 50 times a day(alot more than that some days) during the summer. But it wore down alot and the front is like concrete. But i jumped it Alot and never had any problems at all, except my shocks bottoming out, so i got out the little shock adjuster tool from under the seat and put them up a notch and its been fine. So don't worry, the Z250 is great at jumping and the shocks are great; much better than the 250ex shocks, because on the 250ex, you cant even adjust them!
