BMX Protective Gear
Why Should I Wear BMX Protection?
Whether you are a beginner or a pro, every BMX rider needs protection. Having the right BMX safety gear is important. Not only will the correct BMX protection keep you safe and reduce the risk of injury, but it will increase your confidence and allow you to push yourself further when riding. Furthermore, if you take part in BMX competitions, protective gear is often a requirement to compete.
What Protective Gear Do I Need for BMX?
BMX riders wear a variety of protective gear, including helmets, knee and elbow pads, and gloves. These are essential to prevent cuts and grazes as well as more serious injuries. The most essential protection for any BMX rider is the helmet. BMX helmets are typically distinguished between full face and open face helmets which can also be used for other sports. BMX gloves are useful for not only protecting your hands but also giving you that extra control when riding.
Choosing the Right Protection for You
It is important to get the right size BMX safety gear whatever your style is. Protection too small may leave you exposed and gear too big may slip off your body, increasing the likelihood of injury. For instance, elbow and knee pads should be flexible but also a snug fit. BMX protective gear can be worn either over or under your clothing, depending on the style and design.
