example.com/default.aspx?id=x&here=y
it shows
example.com/id/x/here/y/default.aspx
now i've read information that says that having an extension "default.aspx" may hurt rankings in google and other search engines?
is this true?

I don't know what you have been reading but default.aspx by itself will not cause you any problems.
However depending upon how your server is setup you could have problems.
The problems, if there are any, are duplicate content issues.
One would occur if default.aspx was also served in response to a request ending in / I looked at your site and get a 404 in the case so you don't have that potential problem
The other potential problem has to do with page sniping, which is also a duplicate content issue.
In short the answer is it depends on how things are setup.
