One of the most humble dudes I’ve met in his line of work/lifestyle
Pics cause rules and shit
Safety protocols? We don’t need no stinkin safety protocols!!
Well yeah:
- don’t hit others in the air with you
- try not to play like your a bouncy ball on the cliff faces
- don’t die until you get to the bottom or, as some like to put it,
“Don’t die until you fly.”
Never ever inflate a split rim outside of a tire cage. Seen too many broken arms and worse from explosions such as this. Without the tire cage, it’s like playing Russian roulette with 3 of 6 cylinders loaded.
Split rims fail often?
The tongue action seals the deal
Worked my way through college managing a service station across from a large truck stop. Saw at least two broken arms in the three years I managed the station. Once mounted they are stable enough. However, if not set up perfectly when mounting a tire or repairing a flat, they will explode just as shown int he short video clip. The force is quite destructive. These days, I wear safety glasses and give respect even when inflating bicycle tires.
(Caveat, my time trial bike‘s racing tires are rated to 170 PSI though I normally inflate them to 120-140 depending on the smoothness of the road. I have had tires that are rated for 220 PSI The things are damned expensive too, often costing as much as a 17 -18 inch truck tire). Neat thing about my TT’s bikes tires, they are Tubular. They have the tube sewn up inside the tire. You can and need to fully inflate them prior to mounting, to stretch them out. Installation is a whole nother task
I told you not to film me when I’m playing Mom Invader!
