I went wheeling today and i don't know what i hit, but i hit that thing hard! My Tire is leaking just a little tiny bit now that i beat it back with a hammer. But is there any way i could put some kind of sealant in there?

Guess so. Once the thing is bent its going to be hard to make hold a seal again. Thats why people use bead lockers, i guess, so they can run real low pressure in their tires and somehow avoid this sort of thing.
