Pretty interesting watching some of Kenny's latest IG posts...he doesn't touch the clutch through the whoops. I can't remember if he always rode like that or not. Obviously JS7 is best known for not using his clutch. Meanwhile seems like most other guys use it and maintain control through the clutch. I guess there's different means to an end.
Chase doesn't as well which I had no idea until looking back through some of my Slomo footage
People use clutch in the whoops..? Interesting. Videos?
Jmart is another that doesnt, but Im more impressed that guys can even modulate the thing at all while blitzing whoops and holding on.
I rarely ever use the clutch in whoops for that that's worth. I don't race sx anymore but still hammer down in desert whoops.

I always use the clutch in whoops, stops me from stalling and tipping over.
I know Chad Reed is a heavy proponent of clutch control through the whoops.
Ask Osterman about that…
Slipping the clutch in the whoops seems like a bad idea to me.
Hitting the whoops at all seems like a bad idea to me.
I’ve got such a death grip in the whoops there’s no damn way I could unclench and get even a pinky on the clutch.
