[trackhogg]

BLISTERS BLISTERS BLISTERS...how the crap are you supposed to practice twice a week when your hands are all torn up and bleeding. I am hoping that they will all calus(sp?) soon and I wont have to go through this anymore.

Anybody have any good remedies for the blisters, prevention, quick healing tricks, anything at all???

I dont have girly hands, or atleast I thought I didnt, but this really sucks. I have a very hands-on job and monday and tuesday are pretty rough after a weekend of practice.

[JDiablo]

try diffrent grips,try spiders or ourys

[roostin_dale]

haha, when you race its just something you have to live with. I just got home from racing and my hands are solid calus's(sp) with blood blisters UNDER them. They throb all the time, and i can feel my pulse in my hands. You will get use to it..

[mills_racing]

try some gloves called blister stopers i think ...i bought a pair at the track and they really help ..you wear them under you riding gloves .some ppl also jus tape up the part of there hand where the blisters come up also.

[TheIceMan]

Sprinkle some baby powder inside your gloves before you ride/race.

[MXRACER86]

also try hold on more with your arms and legs instead of your hands!

[Moto92]

after racing for a while your hands will toughen up and you wont get them anymore, it just takes some getting used to at first

TRACKHOGG try when ur in the air to lighten up on ur grip and relax also in straightaways. by the way what tracks to u go to in western PA. i race down there all the time at mapleshade.

[450r51]

duck tape.

[pikey21]

i've had mine for 5 years u get used to em

[dirtriderex]

i'ev been lifting weights and working construction sience I was 16 and pretty soon your hands turn a light tint of yellow b/c of all the calluses. You can actually take a knife and cut them off once in a while:D

[400grl]

If you ride enough and often enough you will get some thick callouses and then won't get blisters anymore - unless you ride for a long time, and your callouses get blisters UNDER them.....then you rip them off.....yeah....fun......just ride alot! :) ;)

[Jason250ex]

duct tape seriously works well, we use it on our feet when hiking and you feel a hot spot

[0VER LAND 450R]

duck tape or take a paper towel and fold it up 1''x5''or what ever and tape it to you fingers were the stuf>> happens..under fingers.
try that it actully helps ..you now were to tape

[gimp419]

I've been using weight lifting chalk on my hands before I put my gloves on. Also where it's soooooo hot outside your hands are gonna get wet, try switching to dry gloves between motos or practice sessions.

[blasteracer24]

Dude same here. In the last moto at southsick i couldnt even hold on. But now they all turned into calloses(sp) and i stopped gettin blisters. im tryin the powder thing.

[bigvforcer]

Baby powder will work great unless your hands get soaked and then it is a pain to clean. I do a lot of work outdoors and I finally realized that raking leaves or using a shovel is a great way to get your hands broke in. Plus I ride every weekend almost all weekend so my whole hand is like a callus

[trackhogg]

WOW thanks for all the replies people, I guess there are a bunch of different things to try...thanks again

[Johnny_G]

-GOLD BOND
-Tightest riding gloves you can stand (most people wear them too loose)
-New-skin.....available at any pharmacy (Apply 2-3 layers before riding)

Hope those help

[deathman53]

unless you have a very hard job(on your hands), you will get blisters after everytime you ride. my calusses get so bad that I have to cut them off every week or so, because of the works boots, my feet are a tottally different story, the only time they went away was when I was on disability for 5 months and wore shoes the whole time. just get used to them, they aren't gonna go away.

[red rider88]

i superglued mine so i could race the high point natioanl but i wouldn't recommend tht it burnt really bad and plus doc said i couldve gotten really sick but hey it worked
