Hand injury due to straps in first RS outing... rats...
Maybe some hand stretches will help: 1) Bend hand back with other and
hold; 2) Bend hand back by pulling thumb back with opposite thumb;
3) Bend affected fingers back one by one using opposite thumb in the
crook of the finger.

I went skate-RSing for a half hour for the first time this season a
couple days ago. Carbon poles. Swix cork grips and SR2001 straps.
It's been hard for me to pick things up ever since---I feel a strain in
and between the first and second first-knuckles (where fingers leave
hand).
I was kind of energetic. It was great to get out there!
I notice that I fairly often get hand/joint/tendon strains from skiing.
Is it inevitable with all that hammering on the hands in straps? Do
folks just try different set-ups til they find one that works? Are some
set-ups known to be great on hands?
