Not normal. Listen or use some water around the valve stem looking for bubbles.

I have had this darkside on for over a year, and have not lost more than a pound the whole time. You have a valvestem leak or a leak on the bead of the tire. Could be a bad tire, but , I doubt it. Mix up some dish soap and water in a spray bottle and spray around the valve stem and the bead of the tire. Should get some bubbles where air is leaking out cooldude

And once you find/eliminate the source of the leak, you may wish to consider adding "Ride On" to your tires...
