I had a flat the other day, right when the sun was going down, and the wind was getting good. I missed the last few minutes of a good session.

Later that night, I went to WalMart to get some tube slime to fix it. Right next to the tube slime, there were little cans of fix-a-flat (designed for bicycles, about the size of a RedBull can), so I decided to try that.

I have tried on one other occasion to use a regular car-sized version, and it did not work at all.

This little can inflated the tube, and fixed my flat tire. It was perfect, and there was enough in that little can to prep all four tires on my board. I'm not sure if this works in a preventative sense, but it fixed me up in about three minutes.

I highly recommend this little product... I am going to start keeping a few cans around for those little "emergencies".

oooh, that's a good idea. Thanks for sharing dude, I too think I might take you up on that idea.

i saw that can too, i was wondering about it, but i went with the slime. have you used the slime yet? so you can have a comparison.

I have not tried the slime... what sold me on the fix a flat was the fact that the aerosol in the fix-a-flat inflates the tires on the spot. The slime would probably be good for preventative, but an on the spot fix is what I was looking for.

When I worked at Autozone, during high school, we had a guy come in and said he had a slow leak in his front tire and asked if we had any fix a flat or slime. I pointed him in the right direction and he bought 2 cans. Walked out and started pumping both cans into the front tire on his motorcycle hahaha.

Completely off topic but the thread just brought back memories.
