i rode my dirtbike, and when i stoped i relized my back tire was flat.. I rode it home slow and found a nail in my back tire. Can i patch it, or do i need a whole new rear tire?

Your bike has tubes in the tires...kinda like a bicycle. If you don't know how to change the tube on your own, either find someone who can, or take it to your local motorcycle shop and have them do it for you. It might cost you 15-20 for the new tube, and 30-40 for the labor, so bring your wallet. Easier to find someone who has done it, and that way you can watch and learn from them for next time.

I love that caption about the dog!
Go buy three tire irons and put them in your tool box for the next time...
