After a race I noticed that there was a large amount of vegetation stuck under the bead of my tire, it looks like I was running too low of a tire pressure. I'm lucky I didn't flat!

Here's some pics:

Yep, I get big red X's all the time!

J/K, Mid, I can't see any of your pics.

Yeah, tried that. I seem to remember, that I can never see any of the pics you post Middi. I can at my laptop at home, but not this one. I wonder why?

Right-click -> Properties -> copy URL -> paste URL in address bar -> enter -> picture!!!!

Looks like you carried half the forest back with you there, mate... never had it happen myself, but I normally stick around the high 30s/low 40s pressure wise.

What sort of pressure were you running??

I have had this once or twice with low air. Usually happens in a turn.

Yep, have had that same thing happen on occasion. Likewise, low pressure going into a turn hot!

I also had it happen off a drop that I got REALLY Squirrely on, somehow managed to pull it off, but ended up with half the trail IN my tire!
