Yeah I don't think I'm going to get into "sick jumps and flying off mountains" -- I already have a predilection for cycling injuries (broke leg in 2 places and removed foot from leg a couple years ago while road racing, smashed my face into pavement while commuting to work about 1.5 months).
Maybe they don't need to be bomb proof but maybe r_mash proof

I'll also point out those ^^^ WTB rims are for XC riding. If you want to start doing sick jumps & stuff, there's burlier options*. Lightweight wheels are nice though, if you can get away with using them.
