decon Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Point me in the right direction because the dunes kicked my ass this weekend, more so the whoops. I have a steering stabilizer but not installed yet. Steering stem and handlebars are stock. What all can help out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decon Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 i've always had a anti-vibe in mind but is there an alternative to the flexx bars, $350 is kinda steep for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikshee Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Take a few aspirin about a half hour beore you ride, the aspirin will thin your blood. Should help some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennieben1 Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 ride more whoops yours is the best answer. i ride every damn weekend with my buddies in some of the harshest terrain youve ever seen. we are so used to it that when we head to the sand its like a vacation. whoops are nothing to us. even the bikes with the stock suspensions fly throught the whoops. its just a matter of getting used to it.

ToomeySheeLE Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 $300 for Flexx bars seems steep, but arm pump in the dunes is exactly why I bought mine, and they totally eliminated arm pump for me and made the dunes an enjoyable experience.. so I felt they were worth it.

odaen Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Having a throttle responsive bike and changing the way I hit whoops now has made the best impact for me personally. If you can blip the throttle to pull the weight back off the front end, rather than trying to muscle it up and keep all your weight back, you'll probably not get as fatigued as fast. But a extended thumb throttle and anti-vib stem can be had pretty affordably, if you are patient enough on ebay. The anti-vib stem helped more with rough ruts and stuff more than the whoops though. Highly recommend for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decon Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 (edited) yeah if everything goes right im gonna pickup a lonestar +2 anti vibe stem today for a pretty reasonable price Edited June 29, 2009 by dEcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 adjusting the suspension will help it handle better. i have my bars back a little, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
