Ten Absolute Rules to make you faster, smoother and in more control.
The Semics Forearm Developer helps to strengthen forearms and eliminate arm pump.
In order to improve your race results, you first must improve your practice strategies. Then practice the correct techniques until they become automatic.
There's a method to the madness. Make sure to have a purpose behind your practice. Don't just race around the track, making the same mistakes over and over. Always spend some time separating and working at your weak points and techniques. Here's the first Absolute Rule of a 10-part series on how to become a better racer.
Absolute Rule #1
You need to be able to work the levers and hold onto the grips independently.
The most common mistake here is to hold onto the grips with all four fingers, then grab at the levers only when you really have to use them. This method is so awkward that the rider doesn't use the clutch and front brake levers often enough, and when they do use the levers they can't hold onto the grips well.

The thing that takes time and practice to develop is the ability to hold onto the grips and work the levers accurately at the same time. Many riders use two fingers on the clutch while others only use one finger. On the front brake, it's best to use just one finger.
Give up using a finger or two on the grips in order to work the levers independently from holding onto the grips. Get used to it and make it a habit.
