do you mean press the valve in a little bit to release air, to check to valve? yes.. on the front wheel it had a little air in the tyre and i managed to pump it up, it wasn't straight forward though, i had to fiddle with it so air would pass through
the rear tyre has no air in it at all, dunno if the valve is faulty
[but ive always had dramas with this no matter which tyre with a presta valve]
