I've done a 10' drop on my Felt Compulsion. It was to a smooth steep landing though. I won't take my compulsion off a 4' drop to flat though. It's all about the drops logistics, and the size of your penis.

My compulsion is set up with 5" travel in the rear (I run a small shock) and 6" up front.
 
generally it depends on how big your gonads are....

but to answer your question, as a general rule of thumb, you can take 1 foot of drop for every Centimeter of circumference your right testicle has.

Caveat: if your bike is made by jeep, it has no limits and that rule no longer applies.
 
my balls must be pretty small cause watching that video made me have actual pain in my body. Take what you can handle and always try a little more each time. DO NOT just assume since the bikes suspension can take it you can huck off a 8 foot ledge. Not yet anyways learn your bike you will be better off.
 
Whatever it is, it will be 3" less on a 29er, since your wheels will hit the ground that much sooner.
no, 1.5" less. The other 1.5" are on the top of the wheel. :D I assume you're comparing a 29er to a 26". (I know, it's actually a 28" wheel)
