Throttle Grip...

I got myself banned.
So its getting cold, and at the park last week and i think me Casey and Dan all got throttle grip. What do you guys do when you put foam grips on to keep them from throttling? I usually just use water or hairspray, but it isn't cutting it. Any suggestions?

Get bmx grips?
or
you can try to put some layers of tape on the bar maybe to make it thicker so the grips dont have room to slide around.

I hate BMX grips. When you sweat alot your hands slip on them and my wrists get destroyed because theres no padding.

And I think i tried to tape thing before, the grips just slide around on the tape.

Use athletic tape dude, just wrap it tightly around it and itll be a bit sticky at first but after one sesh the stickyness is gone and it holds grips good.
 
When I used to use foam grips, I just loaded the bars with double sided tape then slid the foamies on. If you use a lot of tape its hard to get on, but it works.

I wrap a double layer of clear hockey tape around the bars only at the two end pieces of the grips, and I wrap the hockey tape tightly around the outside of the foam grips so they stay tight and the foam grips don't rip that way. The only downside is that if your hands get really sweaty, you're gonna need to wipe them on your shirt every now and then because the tape is a bit slippery, but it's not really that big a deal...
