  1. how much do u weigh?


  2. Probably not......unless you're landing on sharp corners.   If they're blowing from flat landings then you need to put more pressure in the tires to help prevent pinch flats.  If that doesn't help, then switching to a larger tire and running that tire at higher pressures should do the trick.  

    Also, and this could almost go unsaid, check to be sure that you don't have any pokey things inside the tire casing, on the rim metal, or that spoke threads aren't poking up too high from the nipples.  Your rim strip needs to be in good shape, too and it should be a strong cloth or nylon material....if you have the cheap rubber rim strips, ditch 'em.  

  3. Make sure your tires are filled up with enough air. And make sure you dont land on anything sharp. Even rocks

  4. could be a over tightened spoke
