My Fingers Hurt

Ive got a KH24 and i do a fair bit of basic street (cos ive jus
started). stuff like jumpin up stairs and off ledges. i find that after
30 mins, my middle finger hurt where i pull up on the seat and for the
following day i get muscle strains in them. have i got the wrong
technique or do i jus need to ignore the pain and hope it goes as i
progress?!

Your muscle will get stronger, and you will get used to it.

I had the same thing happen, and it would bruise up after a while, now
it doesnt do it anymore.

Your just using and putting force onto a section of muscle in a way you
probably have never done before. It goes away quickly. =p

I had this problem the first week or two of riding... since then my
fingers never hurt.

I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
the dioflip

If trees could scream would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

I get blisters on my hand all the time, even though I use gloves.

Which KH24? The early ones ('03 '04 - the black ones) had the original
handles which always used to cause me blisters and brusies, the later
saddles have fins under the handle which make them much more
comfortable. Might be worth upgrading for $10 or so if that's the case.

I have long fingers which tend to bottom in the closed handles. The tips
of my fingers really take a beating in that kind of handle so I prefer
the open type that my fingers can go all the way through. Could this be
your problem?
