These grips are fanF**King-tastic! I’ve been using the original grips on my bike for over two years and the thought never occurred to me that there was a possibility of a better option out there as far as grips. I figured since the stock grips were doing the trick for me and were better than the previous grips I had used, I didn’t see any need to buy new ones. After buying these PNW Loam Grips in Teal, I realized I was living well below my potential as far as comfort and performance. In 2018 I was acting like an idiot and taking my full suspension bike on some dirt jumps. It was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. I had a huge case and went over the bars and fell 5 feet flat on my face. I broke my wrist in spectacular fashion and the surgeon said that my radius was “in about 57 pieces.” I worried I would lose my hand! Thankfully I was in the care of a competent surgeon and things healed just fine. Unfortunately, I still have no feeling in my thumb and first two fingers. It’s the price you pay for being an idiot! Not only did I break my wrist, but I found out on my first ride back that I broke my helmet in the crash as well! I began riding again within three months after the injury and wore a wrist brace for support.
