Drop the hammer on a hardtail ?
I’m wondering if you can send drop the hammer at coler bike park on an aggressive hardtail. I’ve sent a low speed 10 drop on my xc bike so is it crazy to send it on an aggressive hard tail

Yes. There are plenty of people who can ride a 10 foot drop on a hardtail or even a fully ridgid bike.

Depends on the frame. Depends on the drop. You can get 10ft of air easily if that drop is landing you onto a downhill section. Goes without saying a 10ft ledge drop will hurt a bit and probably crack the frame.
