Just found my big dangerous problem: While standing, G-Forces during acceleration (like out of turn or up a hill) can make it a struggle to get OFF the gas: Can't twist the throttle back, or even let go. What's the technique?

The trick to that is to not reach around your throttle and grab a handful because when you are on the pipe you can't release. When you are standing or whatever riding position you are in, just reach straight up for the throttle, not over and around.
