WTF? Do you know what you're talking about? Why do most stunters learn slow stuff with low tires? Why do the guys from DME ride on flat tires?

Not really sure what you're talking about, but running a bit higher pressure is the way to go

yea.. the lower it is the easier it is, thts for sure. BUT. People get so used to running 0lbs that it f*cks them up later on.

I'd listen to nags he's learned from the best, but on a side not I watched Kevin from the Starboyz wheelie on a blown tire last year and made it look like nothing. So i think when it comes right down to it, it's all about being used to the bike and knowing your limitations, for some peeps there isn't any.

Yea, its MUCH easier to ride on a very low tire... and thats cool and all.... but what about when you want to ride on the street? or do circles? or come down from a stoppie hard and destroy your rim? I'm not saying everyone should rock 30lbs... but 20lbs is definetley a good starting point
