I run 90 in my 110psi tires.
You should be right at or near max pressure.

nice, way to contradict each other right off the bat... I was hoping to use tire pressure as an excuse for spending more time laying on the floor than riding...

I hop on the seat, that's pretty accurate huh? the gauge on my cheap danscomp pump doesnt go that high hahahaha
I feel I'm hitting rim when I hack so mine are probably kind of low. |

I actually ride more park and street than race anymore. with 2 local skateparks and no local tracks yet. Im pretty decent at riding park i can jump everything there and ride with flow. But im really cheap and every 20 dollar pair of brakes i buy i break in a couple weeks. eventually ill put some decent brakes on but i kinda like brakeless with tryin bars and footjam whips.

I ride my tires - race and park - at or above max pressure. I ride P-Lytes on the street and the front of the race bike. 110 or so in those. Maxxis holy roller in the back of the race bike I ride at about 90.

I've always run my Intense tires at 65-70 psi. It definitely rides smoother but is a b**ch when riding over extremely rough tracks.
I can imagine how much worse it would be running them at 100psi.
I can remember running my intense tires @ 40psi at the Presidents Cup one year. That track was like riding on high shag carpet.

I was asking about riding park, I run my race tires high and hard, wondered if park should be the same or squishy....

Riding park you def want your tires hard. If youve ever cased coming into a quarter hard. you know what it feels like to hit your rim haha not fun at all.
