I run at 30psi (I weight more than most) and never get pinch flats, not even on the biggest drops or roughest terrain. Most downhill riders tend to ride a little less air. Its most of the reason I ride dh tires on all my bikes.

Not going to reiterate but it is entirely based on the riders attributes and the tire etc...
