Just went out and rode an MX track today, my first time, and I loved it. The only problem I have is I have blisters on my hands now. Is there anything I can do to prevent this in the future. I am wearing gloves by the way.

I gotta say that I love the Dual Gasser throttle. I don't think I will even use the thumb throttle again.

Yeah I was told that I need to relax my grip also. It is alot easier said than done though.

What about gloves? I have thor gloves now is there a glove that will reduce the likelyhood of blisters.

Best way to get rid of blisters is to get them and get callassed. When that sets in no blisters anymore lol.

i dont get them with my scott hurricanes or anything and i use fox gloves when i ride on trails but not at home. you could try the donuts that slide on too if you are getting them on the sides of your thumb and index finger. steve
