Grips.

ive baught a boardman pro 2011 still with its standard lock on grips and did dalby forest red/black. The palms and the bottom of my fingers are all really brused and ripped the skin of the ends of my finger tips even though i was wearing fingerless gloves. i know id expect some of this as i did on my carrera kracken and i understand grips need to be worn in but never had brusing before. what grips are best to stop this happening or atleast minimise its effects? thanks for the help

Change the grips from your old bike to the new one?
You got your brake levers set up in the right position?
If you have a fast rebound setting it won't help much with your hands, you don't need a fast rebound to jump

Don't really understand how you've damaged your fingertips but might be worth getting some full finger gloves.

Only downside to foam grips is I keep losing the plastic end caps, can also vouch for Superstar grips very good value.
