carving bowls with low psi in the tire?

(1/4) > >>

blueee:
anyone feel like their wheel is about to collapse if they carve a bowl hard with low psi? like 65psi or so? and then maybe dont get that sensation if the tires are pumped up higher... or is that just me?
feels like my wheel is about to taco sometimes if i hit a bowl corner hard enough

O.G. David:
Definitely, my spokes tend to unscrew themselves too.

Narcoleptic Insomniac:
Yeah, smooth bowls call for high tire pressure for sure.

Alice Glass:
i feel like low psi gives me more grip

Prodigal Son:
Either low tire pressure is 75+ or you're going slow. If my shit is under 70psi and I go through a corner it just smashs down and I lose effectively all my speed.
