We were just sessioning a little double. There was an upslope off to the left of the transition so I think I landed on that upslope along with being a little bit off-axis in the air. So, rather than landing flat on the down transition, I think I hit the upslope as well as having my weight too much on one edge of the rims and...bang. I must have landed both wheels at exactly the same time though because they both went at the same time - it was one almighty bang. Either that or there was something sharp, but I didn't see it if there was. I had a bit of a shoulder to root interface, too ;)

On a mountain bike? 50-65 psi is way too high unless you are just riding fire road or something like that. Otherwise, around 35 is about right for most terrain, I find.

was only running about 30psi so I don't think it was that. I think I landed slightly off axis and basically caused 2 massive pinch flats at the same time.

The rock face? I've done that, mental. pretty much impossible (well... for mortals). You literally slide/skid down and gather speed. Would try again after a beer I reckon. Serious pain awaits at bottom if travelling at speed!
