This is off topic but I wanted to ask anyway. I rode pretty much all day today and about 3 times my hand totally cramped up and I couldn't move my thumb at all. I would have to go rest for a few minutes before I would be able to ride again. This has never happened to me before and I don't know why the heck its doing it now. I popped my thumb out of joint a few weeks ago and popped it right back in but I don't think that has anything to do with it. I have heard of guys getting tendenitis (sp?) in their forearms and I was wondering if I might be getting it. What do you guys think?

 

When i ride at the track, my hand does the exact same thing, but after a little while, it stops, i dont think we have anything to worry about, i think its just since your hand is in that position for so long, it stays that way, i might be wrong about it, but thats about the best advise i can give, i sure hope its not tendinitus (sp) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

when im riding pretty hard and wheelieing(trying carb problems) a lot my hands start hurting, holding on real hard and when i pull my hands off the bars they kind of cramp up like im still holding the bars. i rub and make a fist a few times and they are as good as new

 

Arm pump?

 

I just ordered a twist throttle off of rocky mountain. Its kind of a win win situation because of the cramping and I need all the grip I can get trying to hold on to my Shee. The guy I bought it from REALLY knew how to built a motor, because I am real good friends with a guy who owns a riding place and he said its about the strongest running fourwheeler he has ever ridden and I can't argue. I think the cramping has a lot to do with how hard I have to hang on.
