How to inflate tires AS SEEN ON TV.

[Bob DAmato]

You toss the match into the gap between the bead and the rim. The 
expanding gasses blow up the tire and rebead it.  It wont blow out the 
valve, its too fast and not too much pressure.  We've been doing that on 
the farm for 100 years!!  (I dont own a farm and Im only 38 but thats 
not the point)  :)
