This is the my first posting. I am sorry for my English is bad.
I am a Japanese Flatland rider.
I want to know air pressure when I do flatland tricks.(especially spin).
I think it to be different by the person. But I just want to know some hint.
Because in JPN, there are a lot of good freestyle and track race rider.
But no one does flat. No one can 540 spin and over double flip.
I always have to practice by myself. My teacher is youtube:)
Please give me a hint about air pressure.
And one more question.
When I do 5spin and 7spin. Should I do pre hop hard or soft?

If so, I love your style. :D
To answer your question I really like low pressure, spins feel way easier that way. Not sure on the prehop question as I can only 3 spin, but I think a hard prehop would get the most spin and then if you can do them like that work down until you can do them rolling. Hope I helped.

wow that video was so good!!
I say try riding with a hard and soft tire, and doing hard and soft prehops.... I know some people spin with a really soft tire, but i can 720 and almost 900 with my tire at 40psi
Don't be afraid to try stuff out! :)
Thanks for the video, it was great!
