Now, now, don't get the thread removed.

I keep my elbows up. Try not to squeeze too hard. Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. Don't skip breath.
More seat time on your off time, too.

You can also take a stick of any kind, about 2' long. Tie a rope in the middle, hold the stick straight out with the rope hanging down. Cut the rope at the ground. Tie a weight to it(how much is up to you) and hold the stick with both hands, straight out, elbows bent only slightly, and wind the sucker up and down. That will help more than anything.

In my opinion the best way to help with arm-pump is to ride any chance you get, that is what I do and it helps!!
STOLEN are you gonna make it to HARDROCK on the weekend of the 30th with the rest of us woods racers?

YFZ450-Tampa · July 20, 2005, 11:17:38 PM

Will is the ride on Saturday 30th or Sunday 31st

the position of your bars also makes a difference. maybe too far foward. everyone gets arm pump. but there are some remedies for it.
-anti-vibe steering stem
-streering stabalizer
-nice soft grips
-nice set of gloves
-2 asprins 15min before race starts
and most of all EXCERCISE and SEAT TIME!!!

HondaATC · July 21, 2005, 03:03:11 PM

Twist throttle instead of a thumb helps A LOT for me.
