    Try any/all of these

    Check the valve hole isn't sharp/rough
    Talc the inside of the tyre
    Switch to schraeder (car type) valved tubes
    Switch to a heavy duty DH inner tube (mail order if necessary)
    Use larger tyres. If you are running 2.1's at low pressure they will
    pinch flat. Try something like a 2.5 motoraptor. Bigger tyres offer
    much more shock absorption. Shaun runs Nokian Gazzaloddis and has had
    them at very low pressure with no flats, the gazzas have a very thick
    sidewall so resist pinch-flatting and don't squirm around as much as
    some at low pressure.
