Anyone rocking a twist throttle?

Just curious? New to quad stunting and it felt a bit akward, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. What tire pressure do you guys run?

Re: Anyone rocking a twist throttle?

Using a twist throttle made me look like a blind 10 yearold girl with one arm trying to stunt a moped! It'll really dog yer skills

As for tire psi, I use "0" but that's nothing you wanna be doing 5th gear windscreens on,I rock tha slow shoit

p.s. [sorry to any blind 10 yearold one armed girls that found this post offensive in anyway.]

you have to manhandle the bars on a QUAD too mutch and not wise to race trails with a twist of the wrist. I'de kill myself and I've been at it a LONG time. Diff. story all togeather on 2 wheels.

Re: Anyone rocking a twist throttle?

I bought one and put it on for one session out.

I coulda gotten used to it, but thumb is much easier.

Re: Anyone rocking a twist throttle?

Same here i got a twist throttle on mine, i can't do thumb throttle at all. I rode my quad with a thumb throttle for the first 2 weeks and didn't like it at all. And i blast through trails with it and don't have any problems

Re: Anyone rocking a twist throttle?

It all comes down to what feels comfortable to you I think. I like thumb on quads personally but i like the twist on bikes.

Re: Anyone rocking a twist throttle?

I've been riding bikes for hella long, when i got a quad i just couldn't do the thumb at all, thats why i got a twist for it, i am most comfortable that way. do whatever you feel.
