Possible to blow out shocks?
I have a stock Z250, and there is a natural jump on my property that is actually more of a drop-off. The faster you hit this drop off, the higher and longer you will fly. How much can a Z250s shocks take? They are on next to the softest setting, and rarely bottom out. I weigh 130, so I am not that big. Can the shocks actually 'blow out' ?

Happens all the time! Just landing a huge jump won't necessarily do it, but as they get older and the internals wear, it is more and more likely. The rear shock on my Z400 blew just one week after it went off warranty.........of course! Didn't have that many hours on it either.
