you're giving advice to a new rider riding on the street. Not a track day rider. I'm sure he'll work his way up to the power band when he has more experience. 
Perhaps you should stop riding like you're on track and avoid charging curbs with rpms where your bike has best power

Wtf does my crash have to do with it, but 10k rpm on a 250 in first gear is what 15 mph on a turn that is more a sweeper then a full 90 degree turn. I am not saying whack open the throttle to power out at speed but enough to get the bike evened out. Or go in at 4k so when he hits the diphis front end is compressed and has no engine power to even it out and he tucks the front. I hear you are pretty good at that gurk so give him some pointers on that.
I would take it with my bike in the power band plain and simple but with the lame ass suspension on a 250 I don't let the bike do jack **** with out being above 8 k rpm but to ea h his own.
