What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
BMX Helmet (Full-Face or Half-Shell)
RequiredA properly fitted helmet is non-negotiable for BMX. Full-face helmets protect your chin for trick riding; half-shell works for track and beginner riding. Look for CPSC or ASTM F2032 certification.
BMX Knee and Elbow Pad Set
RequiredPadded knee and elbow guards let you try new skills with confidence. Falls are part of learning BMX — pads mean you can get back up and try again instead of calling it a day.
BMX Gloves
Padded BMX gloves protect your palms in a fall and improve your grip on the handlebars. Many experienced riders consider them as essential as a helmet.
