fat grips. arm pump

not sure if this has been done before but i have quite long fingers which causes me to get really bad pain in my hands and wrists and lower forearms because I have to grip so much.

So, i got some rubber sheeting. My dad works at a goodyear tyres. and cut some grip sized pieces and glued them to my grips and then wired them on. this made the grips about a quarter of an inch thicker and that meant i wasn't gripping quite as much.
that combined with using my legs to grip has pretty much got rid of any arm pump or fatigue in my hands.

just wandered if anyone else tried this or if you can get purpose made 'fat grips'?

yeah, your probably right.
But i do think that the thicker grips did help with the pain, especially in my hands.
I used to do downhill mountainbiking and 'fat grips' were widely used and available in mountainbiking, just figured the same idea would have been used in MX.
