carving bowls with low psi in the tire?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sasha:
90+ is definitely best for bowls and general ramping. 65 is pretty much unrideable for me

JFax:
Well yeah, of course. Try and pump or carve on a low preassure tyre and it will give after and possibly make you slid out. Just pump that tyre up

skateparkrider:
Every time I read the subject of this thread I just think to myself "No!  Don't do that!"  haha.  If I show up to a cement bowl and I have low PSI it fucking ruins my day.  I try to always have a pump in my car to make sure this doesn't happen. 

Another indicator if you are running too low of PSI is if your valve stem starts to go crooked from your rim (assuming it was straight up and down to begin with). 

Ramp on, my blue brothers.

Of all the tires I've ever run, the first gen Aaron Ross tires are the worst for this. I swear I can feel each key click when I'm carving if my air pressure is below 85 psi.

It's like, "yo bro, you gettin' this on your GoPro, bro? Feels like my tires are low. Think I need air if my shits feel like jello bro?"
