  1. For frestyle that's probably good, if not higher, but for street, trials
    muni you probably would want to lower it providing you don't get pinch
    flats.

    I weigh 150 and I keep my 24X2" at 30 lbs. I tried 25, but I felt the
    rim hitting on bumps when riding fast, not standing. No problems
    riding off curbs even at 25 lbs.
    Can't hop yet so I can't comment there.

    If you are getting pinch flats a heavy duty tube makes you able to run
    a lower pressure a bit.

  2. Air pressure at sea level is 15 PSI, does this mean people who are
    riding with 10-15 PSI in their tires have a lower pressure in their
    tires than the air outside?

    Such a scenario would suggest that they have created a vacuum in the
    tire and if they take the valve cap off the inner tube will suck in
    air.

    Unless of course they are riding at high altitude.
