It shouldn't, unless they are uncomfortably high.

But before you try cardio stack or anything like that, go to a practice at a track and go out with the mentallity that you will be loose. Dont ride your hardest but ride and keep telling yourself to breath and stay loose. Breathing is key.

Also pop an asprin and eat a bananna before your ride. These should REALLY help. Lastly NO energy drinks.

It depends i heard that it is better to run your bars higher if you are a more of a stand up rider?!? But i do recommend Cardio Stack I rode and raced with it and then i rode and raced without it and i notice something.

I also eat a banana before the race!!! :D

1. I don't race 2. I ride hard for hours and NEVER had arm pump. 3. I did 22 laps at Quadfests MX Time Trials Track and still didn't get it 4. I drink Red Bull and Monster Energy by the case and still don't get it. 5. If I ate a banana before I rode I would $hit myself. LOL 6. Explain what it feels like. I have never had a problem with my arms even after months of not riding then riding hard. 7. SPLATTER MATTER's out of $$$ !!! LOL No Way!!!
