So, I'm pretty sure everybody who rides has experianced arm pump at one time or another... haha .. It can be horrible and trechorous, and keep you from performing at your most absolute best. I have found a .. well. . . somewhat effective way, to eliminate arm pump, thanks to KTM off-road fast-guy Kurt Caselli. Scope it!
1.) You do each arm separately and you start out by pumping your arm by using a hand exerciser. (For ladies, i suggest you do not read this around guys that have dirty minds!) You squeeze the hand exerciser until you really can't do it anymore...
2.)The next thing to do is start TIGHTLY wrapping your arm from the wrist up using an ACE bandage or a wrap, or something of that nature.. This is so it can push the blood and lactic acid, out of your arm.
3.) When you have wrapped up to your elbow, you should elevate it over your head for about a minute or maybe even a minute and a half.
4.)After this, you do the same thing to the other arm.. hahah Do this for.. ahhh.. about three times on each arm. It also works really well for you if you do it about 45 min. before a race.
Now, I'm not too sure it works for everyone, and if you guys try this out, I'd like to hear from you about how well it did or didn't work!!
Thanks! (:

BALDWIN PARK, Calif. (KTLA) -- The son of motorcycle speedway racing legend and actor Bruce Penhall was struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver Thursday morning on the 10 Freeway in Baldwin Park.
The accident happened around 11:35 p.m. on the westbound 10 at Francisquito Avenue, according to the CHP.
Connor Pehnall, 21, was doing contract work for Caltrans when he was hit.
The Pehnall family owns Pehall Co., located in Anaheim, which does concrete cutting.
According to the CHP, the 10 is closed nightly between La Puente Avenue and the 605 Freeway.
The closure had been in effect for about an hour when a motorist -- identified as 37-year-old Sakamoto Tatsuhiko, of Arcadia -- careened through the work zone.
He hit Penhall with his Toyota RAV4 while driving about 60 mph, tossing him 50 to 75 feet. Penhall died on impact, authorities said.
Tatsuhiko initially tried to flee, but officers were able to keep him at the scene, CHP Officer Edmund Zorilla said.
He was arrested on suspicion of DUI and booked at the Industry Sheriff's Station.
Tatsuhiko could also face charges of vehicular manslaughter.
Penhall is the son of actor Bruce Penhall, who is best known for his role on the final season of "CHiPs."
Penhall is also former American motorcycle speedway racer. He was the World Speedway Champion in 1981 and 1982.
Connor was said to be following in his dad's footsteps in the racing world.
He had been racing motorcycles since 2003, wearing the number 81.
His brother, Ryan Penhall, is also a motorcycle racer.
He posted to his Twitter account at 1 a.m. Thursday, saying, "You never know what you have till you lose it.. Don't call me."
Caltrans says that safety programs like "Slow for the Cone Zone" have reduced traffic fatalities on highways significantly.
Unfortunately, however, these kinds of accidents still happen all too often.
CHP Southern Division offered its sympathies via Twitter: "Our condolences to our brother Bruce Penhall and his family. Your extended CHP family mourns along with you. Rest in peace @ConnorPenhall."
The westbound 10 was completely shut down at La Puente after the accident. It reopened around 6 a.m
