My tire isn't made out of cement. You can put a lot of force into the prehop and your tire won't deform as much as with lower pressure. You won't see how a hard tire works until you try it yourself. It takes some acclimation, but IMHO, it feels more precise. -- maestro8 Those are my principles.

I'm using the same techique as you Maestro, and I love it too. I ride street and trials, and I love to know I will never flat spot my rim no matter how high or far I drop or gap. Plus, I remember reading Ryan A. saying somewhere that (sorry, I will be having troubles putting words on my ideas here) if you can compress a tire with a high pressure on a prehop, you will get a lot of bounce, you just need enough force de compress it. On low pressure, it will be easier to compress the tire, but you will get a smaller bounce. On high pressure, it will be harder to compress, but you will get a huge bounce...

I think a lot of people forget how basketballs react when they are pumped up and make contact with a hard surface.  I agree with you and Hugo though. I also ride with a pretty high pressure, one, cause im 200 pounds, and two, the bounce just feels better. -- Jerrick '*305$ /$549.99*' (http://tinyurl.com/6ywusa) *Press Alt+F4 to fix post stretch.*[SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC]JC~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Just pump it up hard, jump around and ride for a bit, see how you like it, and if it feels too hard, let some air out. Ride around some more, do some drops and gaps and whatnot, see how it feels, then readjust adding or taking out air until youre happy. Landing wise, I dont really notice a difference in difficulty. You can feel the difference of landing with a soft tire or a hard tire, but the excuse of "Oh, I could of landed that if my tire was softer..." is pretty much non-existent. Lol, just look at them bmx guys, they are riding with squishy tires. =p -- Jerrick '*305$ /$549.99*' (http://tinyurl.com/6ywusa) *Press Alt+F4 to fix post stretch.*[SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC][SIGPIC]JC~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jerrick's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11632 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

Although a softer tire makes many things easier, I think it's a good idea to run as high a pressure as you feel you can get away with... it forces you to develop better compression for hopping. I don't find lower pressure helps at all for drops though... if I don't have a fairly hight pressure for drops the tire will flex sideways, which I don't find helpful at all. -- madmattunipro Unicycle For Christ www.bedfordunicycles.ca http://www.norco.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ madmattunipro's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10763 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/64350 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
