✅ Save money and gas

✅ Never miss a game because of a flat ball again!
🔧 1. Check First (Car Tires)
✅ You’ll Need:
Tire Pressure Gauge
Air Pump or Compressor
🔍 Check the Pressure:
Read your car’s sticker (usually inside the doorframe)
Or look on the tire itself
BONUS: If you have a leak, I’ll link to a video on how to fix that too!
🛠️ 2. Refill (Car Tires)
Remove the valve cap
Attach the air pump securely (no “shhhh” sound — that means it's leaking!)
Turn on your pump
Be patient — it can take a minute
Don’t drive if your tire is totally flat!
💡 Use a digital pump or a gas station one

✅ 3. Re-Check Pressure
Use your gauge as you go
Adjust air as needed
Put the valve cap back on
Repeat for each tire
🚲 BIKES
Same process — just way faster!
Be careful: over-inflating will cause a POP!

Wet the needle before inserting
Pump slowly
Stop when it feels right and has good bounce
