    On a bc is it better to have high or low pressure? I have been going in
    about the low 40s but then I started to wonder if i would go faster
    with a higher psi. How high do most of you guys have your tyre
    pressur?

    There is no best pressure, Its all preffrence. Iv run in the 20s, up to
    110psi. Higher pressure will make you go faster.

    It depends on what tire you have I think, for street, high psi is
    better, for trials, people like lower psi. I'm no experrt though, I
    might be wrong.

    Usualy there isnt a good pressure for a style of riding, There just
    tends to be a good pressure for a certain trick.

    Low pressures make it easier to ride, it is sluggish though. High
    pressures make it really fast and it slips out way easier.

    However a drop or a high hop, can rebound you up again if you have a
    low tire, Sometimes throwing you off.

    Yea I've noticed that :o I'm sitting at 50 psi and am getting good
    speed and control. But I think I'm gonna drop back down to around 40
    psi cause it makes riding skinnies so much eisier.
