wrist gear

[JonS]

i have sprained both of my wrists in the last month or so. once, from turning the quad over and bailing and yesterday from landing wrong off of a jump. i can barely turn my left wrist from side to side and my other is still sore from sometime back.


what do you guys use for your wrist protection? any good brands?

Dunno man. Sucks though. Physical therapy I guess. This looks to be something worth while. http://www.powersportsmax.com/product_info.php/cPath/33-50/products_id/3880

i guess those will probably work okay. i may wrap it with an ace bandage so it won't interfere with my riding gloves.

you can do exercises to strengthen the wrists . That should help prevent an injury in the future . Wrist curls , roll up a rope with a weight tied to the rope and a broom handle . Also try to stretch the wrists bafore a ride and during .

Be careful of anything that runs across the palm of your hand as it can decrease you gripping ability drastically.
They are costly, but Flexx bars make a difference.

Hold out on Flexx bars, Wait till the new Precision clamps come out, Do the same thing and at half the cost and you can run your current bars on them.

[maniakmax350x]

yeah i deffinatly was jumping too much the other day and must have been a minor sprain. Just keep going after that and rode through it. It went away after a while, but man what pain. i had no strength and couldn't even squeeze the clutch.

I thought you were supposed to lock on tight and your handle bars give out before your wrists do

I've done this a time or two hitting the unexpected rock! but that damper is unfortunately a bit out my range at $485.00

 

[JonS]

Who needs this revolutionary product?

Anyone who needs to go to work on Monday.

i gotta kick out of that.

 

[DeadLastRacing]

Where you get $485. That's insane! Should retail around $150 or so. Flexx bars are only 2 something new. Your lookin at the damper. I'm talking about the bar clamps, no info on the site about them yet. I read a write up from the Indy dealer show about it.
