Pinch flats

Not had a puncture for 6 months+. Yesterday in Black Mountains had 2 at same time. Both pinch flats. Running new WTB Stout up front - maybe pressure was too low? Both on long fast grassy downhill track with occasional rocky sections - I felt the impacts on both rims.

Sooo more pressure, different tubes (ideas here?) or improve my riding?! Of course putting some suspension on might help, but nowhere on the ride did I actually need suspension; or I go back to my 2.4 Racing Ralph. The Stout gave me more confidence on the steep, loose and wet rocky bits though.
