Just posted this pic to instagram.. Rear tire looks flat to me! Why are people getting so many flats this year compared to past years?

I think someone else shot the Barcia pic.

The thing is, this stuff is nothing new. I remember years ago having a shot of Danny Smith on a 125 flexing the carcass like that.

If you haven't figured it out yet they run apx 12 -14 pds off air pressure when it's real slick and hard pack it makes the tire flex more for better traction , but they def will be replacing rims after the moto

Sorry, I think you'd find that very few (if any) riders are using a mousse in SX (they're tubes), and tubeless may have been tried, but it'd be such a huge PITA that you won't/don't see it at the track.

Hmm it knew tires flexxed a lot but I've never seen a pic before I guess! Probably also may have something to do with them having "factory" tires. Maybe not as stiff of a sidewall for more flex and traction?

there is no way that tire has 12 to 14 lbs of air pressure... if it has air it has less than 10.... less air pressure makes the tire flex for traction!

Chad said the Dunlop tire selection sucks. That's why they run so few pounds

THAT'S what Dungey was doing wrong...he scrubbed the wrong damn obstacle! Scrub the triples bro, not the whoops! Honest mistake. Get em next week.

I knew he had it backwards when during practice I saw him click it into fourth, lean back and he tried to skim the triple! Luckily he just quaded into the next rhythm section, so no one noticed, but it was close.
