^^ How durable are these disc brakes exactly? i'm not a stunter when it comes to bikes, but i've wrecked more than my fair share of bicycles (mine and my pals), and though the frame looks tough and all the same can't be said for the discs, and what about the rims and spokes? can they be bent back at a cycle shop if wrecked out of shape? i love big jumps and even tried cycling out of a first floor balcony (it had no parapet) once when i was 16

the brakes on viper are decent, i wont say they're the best, cuz most cable actuated disc brakes available in our country arent the best grabbers out there. given a choice i would prefer the hydraulic ones ( i have a pair of 'hayes' hydraulic brakes on my steed)

the brakes on the vipers have a long wear in period. what i mean is, in due course of time, the brakes do get better. but honestly, if you're lookin for some serious offroad fun, invest in better brakes.
