10 psi is a LOT!

Most people I know run between 2-5 lbs. Me personally, I run 2.5 in the rear, and 3 up front. You'll probably want to bump that up a little to 4 or 5 if you're going to be jumping big.

I'd be concerned about going too low PSI with 21" tires on 8" rims. There's the possibility of the bead coming off.

Start high and work your way down. Higher PSI will help with turning and sliding Haulers.

I run 2.5-3.5 psi in my back. I have hit some fairy good sized jumps with 2.5 and never had it blow the bead or anythign! in the front althought its my stock tires i run 4 psi in the sand and dirt
