One or two fingers?
I am trying to improve my riding, so I a practicing the double blip to get over loges etc. I am finding that if if use two fingers on the clutch then I don't hold the bars at I would like, but if use one my arm gets tired. What do you all do? One or two?

I did a training day with chris birch last year and his advice was to ride with your guns out ... one finger on clutch and one on brake at all times
I still switch to two on the clutch when riding slow very tight rocky sections but I think that will Change the stronger my finger gets

That would have been a killer clinic. He's always been my favorite extreme rider!

Interesting that you bring this up. I hurt my left index finger in January, and it doesn't bend more than 90 degrees now. I have switched to using my middle finger on the clutch and it has been working surprisingly well because it is a longer finger, so the reach isn't much of a reach, so to speak. You might try it a few times to see what you think.

never paid much attention until now.im 2 fingers on clutch(finger 3 does most of the work),but only a light flick is needed as bandit pointed out above.def 2 fingers on brake(finger 2 mostly) and fingers at the ready except when wot.id go with what is the most comfortable for you,and what feels like the most control.never been a fan of 1 finger,but am a fan of chris birch!personal preference I reckon.you can strengthen your middle finger by waving it at pumpkin riders as you go past!just kiddin chris,respect!
just noticed im now classed as a senior member...cmon im only 42! also I set my levers fairly high which I think works better for a couple of fingers because as your wrists are back you tend to lift your pinkies,if the levers are down further you tend to use more as your hands roll forward.a lot depends on how you like your bars set up,and wether youre a sitter or a stander.i ride a lot of single track and mostly stand.when I get tired and sit the gg seat reminds me to stand back up
