Are XT cranks and BB ok for dirt jumping?

I am light rider, 148 lbs.

I got a set laying around and would be nice to not spend the dough on some new parts like Hussefelt cranks and such.

Sure, they'll work just fine my old xt's held up better
then my old race face Lp's that I've bent three times now.

they may be ok since you are fairly light, but the xt BB has a tendency to snap at high torque loads(jump landing). If you are a super smooth jumper you should be fine, but it's just a heads up. I have raceface evolve FR steel BB and it's been awesome.
