I've recently started to MTFU and am now doing some decent jumps and drops. I'm not doing any flat landings but I'm a big guy @ 16 stone, should I be concerned about my 2009 fox float or can it take what I'm dong to it?

as long as your not bottoming it out, and its set below the max pressure limit, it should be fine i would have thought....

I'm sure it was a custom one but wasn't Gee Atherton running an air shock at the Worlds? Some reasonable jumps/drops on that course.

Running about 150psi and not bottoming with a clunk but am getting full travel. Good stuff one less thing to worry about.

150 sounds very low for 16 stone, you must have a very low leverage rate bike? (or be running it very soft).

I run my trance at 200psi (12.5 stone) and cane that without worrying about it too much.
