Has anyone tried Boyesen's shockout mx grip system to help reduce arm pump. Will a softer compound grip work just as well.

Thanks

A stabilizer will help alot IMO, you don't have to grip the bars so tight fearing they will be ripped out of your hands if you hit a rock, etc.
Or try green finger nail polish it helped that chick in the Disney motocross movie.....

Only cure for arm pump is to ride, ride, ride. Then ride some more. Use your legs to grip the bike, and relax your hands on straights, and in the air. Don't white knuckle the whole time.

or...make one of these out of pvc and rope AND use it...

Hell Yea! Used that many of times in the Marine Corp. for thrash sessions You'll have a death grip in about 2-weeks

Or take advil. It helps when u have to buff it out on the track like when racing, its what i do plus if u fall....u'll have a head start of not feeling the pain Ha.

Softer grips make it worse.

1971 My pops on his Yamaha 360 on the ridgeroute just north of Castaic

Man... that's the same bike I rode to High School and around the dirt fields in Huntington Beach

Have you heard of "MOTO 911"? It's a pain-relieving spray advertised in the current Dirt Rider magazine. (page 136) Has anyone tried it? Spray on pain relief.

My son wants it, he says he's too lazy to workout to help relieve the pain of arm-pump.
