OK...at the pumptrack we had some slideouts on a corner cause it was too shallow.
so...made it steeper, and now you pull a few g's through it.
Sounded like the tyre was riping off the rim each time...knigge finally got a flat bout an hour in!!
sorry, photos aren't that great...but you get the idea.

(Note: we were all running bout 35psi in our tyres)



















enjoy.

i would say 35psi would be the culprit. thats usually the min to put in tires so they seal and lock to the lip of the rim.

nice pics, and the burm looks really nice

cheers mate...btw; 35psi really isn't the minimum pressure you run.
might try bout 55psi next time and see what happens...could be grippy.
 
Hahahah, seriously, just pump up your tyres. It's really not that impressive to burp/roll a tyre through a corner like that with flat tyres...

I would say the weak single ply side wall of the tyres would be the culprit

you calm down and pump up your tyres
He said that they were at 35PSI so they aren't flat at all. It would probably be the thinner sidewalls or just the fact that they are going quick and it's a nice corner.

I run my tyres at 25PSI so I guess that would make me huge douchebag.

Anyway back on the topic nice pictures.

i rolled a tire off yesterday in a berm too, on a dh bike.
