tyre pressure

Big drops/gaps require a higher pressure so you don't bottom out your
tyre and hammer the rim through you're tube.

Although, softer tyre pressure means it's easier to learn to hop, and a
cooshier feel.

You'll know when it's time to increase the tire pressure as you start to
bottom out the tire hopping and doing stuff.

Perth is right. I try to find a happy medium where I don't bottom out my
rim or have the tye fold to the side easily, but soft enough to hop
comfortably with. I just pump the tyre up fairly hard and play around
then let a bit of air out and so on and so forth until you're happy. I
call it trials and error! You see what I did there?! Ha ha! 🙂

Force over area means that the pressure for one size tire is different
fro another. Example: I have a 24 inch tire and it says 40 psi
reccomended. Your 20 may say something else, and his 29 will be much
higher.

Generally, tyre pressure has more to do with tyre width than with tyre
(+wheel) diameter. Wider tyres allow lower pressures.
