> Have you thought about putting a twist throttle on your quad? This should help a bunch with not having to use/position your thumb all the time. Definetly try to use your legs to hold on more than your arms. Your hands shouldn’t be tightly gripping the bars constantly. Use jumps, straights and any other time you can to loosen your grip a bit and use your legs instead. Cycling should be a good workout to get your general endurance up. I would assume any kind of exercise that works your forearms for endurance rather than muscle building would help. Also healthy lifestyle/good diet can only help. Try some motocross racing sites. I’m sure they have some good ideas for you.

because of my severe broken wrist I had back in the summer of 05’ even if I did want a twist throttle (which they are deadly on a quad to begin with) I wouldnt be able to twist it. I have this rare type of arthritis from my high impact break that is shifting my hand. I only have 50% movement in it.
