This is what I've tried on natural terrain mx tracks, I hope it helps but not much does.
1: thin single density grips
2: magnesium powder (day b4 and during)
3: mid height bar, mid sweep ( Wyndham reed, or stock gasser bend is ok, low straight good for trails not track)
4: steg pegz on my husqvarna
5: not standing so much on mx track ( watch u.s outdoors on YouTube ) set up early for corners, sit through main acceleration zone and let the bumps pop you back up if needed.
6: set the controls ( brake clutch lever) a little higher than trail riding ( maybe 15 to 20 degs below level at most)
7: mentally tell myself to loosen up b4 jumps or whoops, otherwise you squeeze the bar so hard it's rediculous, and you stop yourself from centering in the air, I breathe out just b4 a difficult section and make sure I breathe lightly after I've hit it.
8: share the load with your legs and bum, grip with them, use the seat grip and lean forward with your head (sounds dumb, but it works)
9: ride a higher gear and abuse the clutch like hell.
I do all this and it adds up to about as much as riding a bike with mx suspension, that's why they are so stiff, because you need it. I'm still crap and get arm pump but not as bad.
