Today we got like 5 inches of snow and got school off. So I went out to the garage to ride for a while and I found out I have a flaat front tire. Is there any way I could fix it quick?

Pump the tire full of air, spin it around a see if you can see, or hear where the hole is. If you find it, install a tire plug into the hole. You can get a tire plug kit at any auto parts store for around $3.

The whole is too big for a plug. I put some kinda sealant on it and put a plug in. I hope it works.

Sometimes you can use a couple of plugs and still get a good seal. If not....it'll probably be a slow leak and you can still ride some today and have it fixed/tubed/or buy a new one later.
