Hands

No problems with my fingers, but I've been getting a lot of wrist pain
lately. I think it repetetive strain syndrome. So, I've started riding
switch, which feels a bit awkward and tricks are much more difficult,
but I'm getting better.

The hand I hold the saddle with when hopping, the wrist on that hand
cracks pretty loud if I rotate it around the furthest point of
stretching.

You're learning jump mounts and you're getting injuries like that
already? Boy, you're one sissy girl.

I've also got problems with my foot, btw. It's been hurting for a few
weeks now. But it's getting better slowly.

stretch your fingers backwards before you ride. do the same with your
thumb.

Does anyone else's fingers hurt when they do alot of hopping?

My middle one always hurts hmmm

Im bored this is the best post i could come up with lol

I'v raced motocross pretty much my whole life so I have calluses on my
fingers palms and thumbs, I also have some pretty strong wrist from
riding so much. All my joints are fairly strong from riding so long,
but then again I'm not the most flexible person.

All this makes riding unicycles for me that much easier which I am
fairly glad to have as an advantage over most people. If you are having
problems with your wrist's and ankles I can give you some advise on
which ankle and wrist braces are available and actually provide
excellent support.

But as for the fingers hurting so much...you just have to tough it out
until you develope calluses of your own...although on a girl that's not
very attractive, but have at it!

I just got the kh fusion freeride thinking it wouldn't hurt my fingers
so bad, because before I had a saddle without a handle so I always cut
myself on the bolts. But I've noticed with the kh saddle I keep
getting calluses on my fingers which doesn't bother me, but if I don't
take a break from riding they end up ripping and the skin falls off, so
that hurts pretty bad. I've started riding with gloves from the local
bike store and they're starting to improve.

When I started jumping I got a wicked callous on the side of the knuckle
of my pinky. It was so thick that it caused flexibility problems witht
he finger. I also got some pains in the joint of that finger. I then
started using gloves with long fingers and it took care of everything.
No more callous and no more pain.
