I just got a squid a few days ago. The problem is that the tube keeps popping. If you inflate the tire over 30psi, the tube comes out from the tire and pops. I've already busted 3 tubes and tried 2 different tires. It almost looks like the rim is a little too small for a 20" tire (but it's definitely too big for a 19" tire). Note, the tire comes out whether riding or not. It popped again last night, after I put the uni away for the evening.
BTW, I prefer the ride when the tire is hard, it feels weird at 25psi.

the squid.... poor soul
you either don't have it properly seated in the rim or the sidewalls of the rim are not tall enough?
Dude, get a nimbus. The squid is a terible unicycle designed for little kids to play with for 5 minute then give up because its not meant to actually ride.
Does the Squid have a hooked bead rim? The rim should have a ridge or hook on each wall of the rim that holds the tire. Some cheap rims either have no hook or an inadequate hook to hold the tire.
You can take the rim to a bike shop to ask them if the rim has a proper hook.
If the rim is the problem you'll need to get a new rim and have the wheel rebuilt.
