dude
do whatever you want to it
you won't break it.
promise, unless of course you like to land sideways, on curbs(or
similiar/skinnier) and such. in other words, if you limit it to 12 foot
(vert drop) jumps to 1 foot landings you'll be alright.

12 foot drops will whack out the rim.

7 foot drops to flat on grass will whack out the rim a little bit. hehe

It will take a lot of damage. The weekest points being seat/seatpost.
Learn to land correctly and the casual big drop wont be too much of a
problem.

When I attempted a 7 foot drop on my new KH, the rim was bent slightly,
but it was minor and it didn't affect anything. Just make sure you roll
out of it like I didn't do...
