twist v. thumb throttle
Oddly enough, when riding my street bike (twist) I really seem to like it. But, on my Banshee, the thumb is the only way to go. I think it has to do with the rough terrain. Bumps and hills make the twist alot harder to control.

I think that people who don't have much experience with twist throttles should stay away from it, unless you really want to take the time to get used to the it. I rode dirtbikes for 5 years, when I got my raptor I hated the thumb throttle. I bought a twist for it and I love it. Thumb throttles don't bug me too much anymore, but I actually feel like I have more control with the twist.

This is what happens when you have a twist throttle on a quad.

Luckily it didnt go all the way over, and land him. Something ive always wondered is why some dirt bikes dont have thumb throttles. Ive always thought they would allow for more control.
