i'm pretty sure it's more for keeping the bike straight up(horizontally) and not leaning right/left (by making the tire more 'flat').. don't think it helps much for keeping the bike up vertically..

Lower press is more for slower tricks to help the bike b more stable. I run 20psi for everything.

Does running low psi make it harder to ride normally (example, to & from your local spot) or do you trailer your bike?

Its bad for cornering. If you dont have to make any hard turns on the way to the spot its no problem.

If you only go down to about 20-25 its not to bad. It does get a little twitchy if you lean over a ways but its not uncontrolable.

So at 25 you might call it a happy medium? I ride the canyon's and run the edge but want to start doing some wheelies but don't want ot have to keep messin with it.
i have time to read these days while waiting for parts to put it back together.

when imout stuntin i usually have about 25 in the rear tire it seems to help take some wobble away because there is more tire on the road. but i guess its a little different for everyone.

Whats the best tire pressure (bars not psi) for endos. I can roll them alright (45feet) but when i get them high up the bike tends to wobble and **** like that, gets kinda twitchy. Hard to explain.
