I have always used a pump racing however, I just picked up a couple of the larger Big Air set-up's from a buddy. Needless to say I have never used one and have noticed that some people race w/ the nozzle on and some don't..... Do you break the seal and run w/ it and/or how do you keep the thing attached?

Yeah I am retarded.....

Any suggestions info would be appreciated.

Cheers,

C.K.

If it's the kind I used to have, I would loosely thread the nozzle on without breaking the seal.

Or do you mean...leaving the nozzle on the tire valve while riding? I wouldn't do that.

Twist it until it touches the seal and it will stay put, but don't puncture it till you're ready to use it...

P.S. Never leave the CO2 sitting in your hot car...link
