i have decent sized calluses but i wear gloves 90% of the time when riding (because my hands would slip off the grips from sweat) and i think that saves them.
 
i have calluses from baseball but i dont really get them from riding. i like the foam grips, when i used bmx grips i got calluses on the outside of my thumbs

yeah, i get calluses and whatnot, but i always have calluses because of just climbing around and stuff.

bahahahahaha!!!!

but I got fucked hands from missing the deck on a briflip and scratching my finger on cement, so there fucked...
 
my hands are just smelly from my foam grips. When i got a new A model. There was a weird smell and it was coming from the grips. So my hands smell like sweat,poop,and urine. I have to wash my hands a dozen times to get out the smell.

after xw weekend, all the sweat that was on my hands made them chapped and shit and my fingertips were like all raw.
 
i have 2 calluses(spelling? haa) on each hand, and permanent bruises from previous falls and scars, and also just random cuts from the day earlier.

and a wart on my thumb : /. haha. but eh who cares. there not too bad. <3

i had some wicked calluses after the first day of xw, it really hurt the next day to ride. usually my hands are fine though, they get callus and then they dont hurt anymore<3

gloves are for sissy little sissies who have sissy hands...
I have caluses all over, my hands are rough and I ride Primo logo grips. The ladies love the man hands.

yeah your right, better just ride really shitty because my hands cant stay on the bars. I dont ride gloves because i want to, because i have to or else i cant keep grip. When i used to rock foam grips my grips would be wet like 2 days after a session at a park with sweat, thats disgusting, id rather use gloves.

When I have foam grips...I ride em...but they wear down so fast...and when I ride foam...I dont get calluses from em...so nice...

When I ride BMX grips I get calluses here and there...but nothing special if I compare it with riding my bike...my hands are then totaly fucked up...

I don't wear gloves ...
