MTB jumping

I recently bought a Giant Iguana and I got it for trail riding but I also like to jump a little. I jump sometimes and if im on the trail and there is a good bump i like to take it as a jump. I hear that this is bad for the bike. Yes , No?????

 

The Giant Iguana is a totally capable hardtail...you will break yourself, long before you will break that bike, jump have fun and ride hard

 

I think you should move from bumps to jumps!!! Your bike can handle it, that is what a mountain bike is for! Just don't break your neck

 

HAHA. probable, ya thanks for the advice.
