I have razr2 fronts on douglas red labels, and i run 6 pounds of air. after a harescramble or a long trail ride, i get sticks/bark and crap stuck in between my rims and the tire, and i have to let some air out of my tires and stick a flathead screwdriver in there to push the crap out. Is there a way to prevent this? maybe a certain kind of rim?

here's what my front tire/wheel looks like

I'd say look into some beadlocks or ITP Race Wheels.

Bajas woulndt make a diffrence all it is is a ring on the inside of the rim for strength it does nothing to keep ur bead on the rim or stop chit from getting in there only thing would be beadlocks just look for used 1s plus since u do harescrambles beadlocks would be a must need down the road anyway.

save up for the HiPers, you'll save money in the long run, you'll only be replacing the outer rings at $25 every once in a while, instead of the whole rim after you tweak those aluminum ones.

Hipers are a 'brand' of wheel like ITP or Douglas but are made of carbon fiber instead of aluminum.

and the rears can be a dual beadlock. and can also come wiht a hub alreadyin them so u just take the hub nut off instead of undoing lug nuts.

Certain tires are made with a "bead protector" I know I had a junky set of carlisle badlands that were like that. Also I know titan 489's are like that, dont know about any sport quad tires though!?
