Kyle, those blisters look pretty nasty. You probably need a little suspension work done. I raced three races this weekend, Glen Helen GP and both the S1 and S2 races at USDR and there was no soreness. If your fighting your bike blisters are likely to happen.

Steve, i'm not sure if its the glove/grip combo i'm using or the suspension settings. I have a full revalve/springs front and back that works pretty well or so I think. 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

I looked for Greg Saturday when I got there about 4 pm near the finish line did't see him. I noticed after my S2 race you guy's set up the CRF's cannopy about 30 yards from my RV . I didn't have time to come over cause I had to get everything ready for the S1 race. After finishing the S1 race I rested for awhile and took a shower and you guy's were gone!

I did very well this weekend, at the GP I was running second on my Honda and on the third lap I lost my back brake pads, the pin fell out. Ended up 9th, 2nd in desert. At USDR raced my KTM and took first overall in the S2 race and 1st in the S1 not sure what place overall. There's a pic of me getting the holeshot in this thread # 178 is on my side plate. Can't wait to really meet you guy's.
