Hi im just wondering what is the correct tyre pressure to put in my bike. I have a moose tube in the front wheel so it has no air. Just wondering if this is maybe better for enduro or fine for mx?

there is no real correct tyre pressure, as every track may require slightly different depending on terrain etc. & type of tyre etc.

Moose will be fine for MX as long as it is still in good condition. They will eventually go 'off'. We run our tyres @ 1bar ALL THE TIME regardless of terrain. If you are racing sand use a sand tyre, if you are racing hard pack use a hard pack tyre. Simples! If you start running lower pressures you are far more likely to get a puncture etc.

I ride different terrain on different tracks. Cardenden is hard packed mud then the next week it could be ballmullo or coupar angus.
