Hands sweating on grips.

[Piccadilly]

Hi, i don't know if there are any threads on this already but.Meh.
Right, recently its been getting quite hot, and when im scootering my hands seem to get quite sweaty on the grips. This then makes it really heard to whip fast (or do much for that matter). Anyone got any ideas on making my hands grip more?? Is it my grips?? Should i use talcome powder (or whatever)??
Thanks.

get better grips. i use odyssey griswalds and they barely slip ever.

 

[DavidBryson]

maybe get gloves

Do not EVER get gloves haha. ODI's are fine for me, if your hands get sweaty, wrap your shirt around each grip, and your hands to dry them, and do it like every 15 minutes (or everytime it bugs you.)

I ride with gloves sometime its ok

 

[Rob.]

Gloves work for some people.

 

[Arnor Smari]

Gloves look pretty ugly tho

 

[Kieran Mayhew]

Gloves if you wanna look like kota.

Btw OP your spelling of "recently" was rather... Well, interesting.

 

[Piccadilly]

Nah not gloves because my hands will get really hot, i guess i'll have to do what vickayyyy said and dry them off on my shirt. =/
Might try talcome powder too.

@Kieran, yeah my spelling isn't that great. =L

I know this post is kinda lat, but I use gloves sometimes. I actually just use 'em even if it's not hot. Sometimes it helps me ride better because I feel like I have a better grip.

You could try powder too. Or just take a breather and cool your hands down every so often...

I use ODI's, they rock, never have any issues.

It's the grips bud. Keep trying different ones until you find something you really like. Personally the Shadow Conspiracy "Ol Dirty" grips are what I'm into. I'm still on my first set cause they hardly wear... and you can get em flangeless!

^, yeah they're quite nice. But I'm kinda getting bored of keeping on buying stuff and constantly changing my grips. =/

My hands are always sweaty, dunno why, but when its hot, my hands are sweaty as hell and my Odi longnecks still work very well. Also ODIs are durable as hell.

Happens to me all the time just dry them off with your shirt then dry your hands off too with your pants or whatever.

 

[Kyle]

Do what victor said. Or wear gloves, but that really should be a total last resort thing.

 

[Victor C.]

No Kyle, it shouldn't. Just dont EVER get them. Hahaha. But seriously, I just dry my hands and grips on my shirt. Works for me.

 

[Ronnie Bergan]

Don't ever get gel grips, that's Fershur.

 

[Piccadilly]

Are ODI's realy that good then?? Should i look into buying some over say a flexy or new wheels??
