Off to Brechfa this weekend to try out some of the trails. I saw a clip of the gorlech dh section and wondered if these rims are up to it. I have a meatier wheel set but they are heavy as hell in comparison.

They'll have a 2.5 tyre on and be front and rear on my gemini. I'm 12st and like a fair amount of jumping.

Am I gonna ruin them?

I think I may mean the raven trail!?!

Either way we'll do them both.

No, I've used them on a 8" travel dh bike, 4x racing etc. Any welded modern rim built well will last a very long time under abuse.

Mine survived the Raven on a HT no problem.
