Ugh what's with people not providing enough information? OP if you crashed the bike; SAY SO. Half the thread was about getting a patch kit for a puncture which apparently you knew was not needed.
Same goes for another thread where a guy says something like "my bike won't start" and provides no...
Ya you probably should have mentioned that you crashed and hit a curb in your original post.
There could be rim damage. Get it looked at professionally.
A bit of caution however, we don't even know if the OP's front tire has a puncture. IF it is a puncture, the location of the puncture will determine if you can patch/plug a tire.

HOWEVER, if you're asking about how to get a front tire fixed, I wouldn't...
a M2 rider could have just completed the riding course the weekend beforehand. There are no objective way to know a M2 rider's skill level before he/she wheelies themselves to death.
Get your M, problem solved.
I might show up. I'll be rocking an old RC51 =)
...it doesn't say if the gymkhana event is open to all or if we're just watching "riders" run the course?
