    No doubt Kyle those are some good ones,but this course was rough! Its the first time since the 80.s that I got blisters,but there alot smaller and still in just the bubble stage.During the race I kept telling myself to breath and loosin my grip which helped alot to keep me focused.

    Hey PT after being awake and rereading all your captions for the pics,I laughed alot,some funny stuff. Good job.

As you can see I tried to tape my hands but it just pushed up. I'm going to try some glove liners, different gloves, and a fresh pair of spider grips with a harder compound and if that doesn't fix my problem i'll start playing with the clickers. I'm tired of blisters!! :x


    From experience, I would say it's you're suspension. I don't think it's plush enough in the initial stroke. Just because you had it revalved doesn't mean it's right. I've had my suspension done thinking it was good but it was like a rock, blister city and I rode it a long time like that! After I started taking my suspension (KTM) to Earl Shuler what a difference. Very plush and perdictable. My Honda has Precision Concepts, it's pretty plush but I notice it deflects alot in the rocks so I need to have them fine tune it or just have Earl set it up. You're more than welcome to ride my Honda some time, I betcha there's a big difference.
