Sweet pic man, we use that technique quite often, and it normally works well.

You're a freaking maniac~ Man, this is how we seat ours, but at least we put the freaking thing on a manual tire mount to keep it stationary...

rolleyes or not... I've seen tires that when seated fireball fashion blow a good 6-7' in the air. not pretty when they come back down bouncing around down the trail.
