You lose all your pump on a ramp if you're tyres aren't really hard.first of all though, don't exceed what your tyres recommend. Pretty safe bet though, if you're riding park, you would do good filling the tyres to their max psi rating. ( it's stated on the tyre)I run 100psi too.

You can't d that without hard tyres. Apart from flowing ramps and pumping (exactly the same reasons as trails), soft tyres in a park can be dangerous. i've been out cold when i pmped a bowl corner heading towards a curved wallride when my below pressure tyre squashed right in and squirmed from my rim, sending me to the ground on my head. 60 ain't that low depending on the tyre and the rider weight, but it's certainly a lot lower than i'd like. Park requires high PSI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
