Thanks and hears a picture I cant remember what there called but ive had them before they do go. normally caused by that part of ur hand isnt used as such but now its being used the skin is going tuff and it peels off if you soak it they will go back to normal again but they will return after riding trials again.

Blake Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Called calluses, basically leave it and they will harden, leaving a protective layer of skin on your hands so they won't hurt in future! Try to avoid picking them/biting them/tearing them etc etc. Just let them harden. Great little things to have, make your hands much harder to hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted December 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 I always end up picking them, so i will let them harden thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonsieurMonkey Posted December 28, 2011 Report Share Posted December 28, 2011 Callouses. If you're getting them with gloves on its probably because they're too loose. Like someone above said, they're just like patches that will harden and protect the area from further damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sstein Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 on the point of whether to leave them or not, i would say not. I ride so much that my calluses actually get to the point that the whole callus rips off and my hands start bleeding, i've found that i actually have to cut mine down (sounds disgusting but saves a lot of pain) I have heard of people using those ped egg things to clean their calluses up. If you are getting them with foam grips you must be either new to riding or riding a lot more than you used to so keep an eye on how bad they get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 I love how riders of most disciplines get these on all four fingers, but we only get them on the outer three since the index is always on the lever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FamilyBiker Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 i´ve got that things,too,and mine are bulletproof lol. its just your body building up something like an armour against the treatment in trials. very practical. the peeling will stop,once the thickness is enough,kind of scar issue.
