BMX Safety Equipment Check 2023 - BMX For Beginners

[@weAreNotAloneHere]

Well done on promoting helmets. There very cool and you can sticker them up and promote brands you like on them too. Can’t do that on your head 😅

I fell right on my knee cap on steel and tore my patella tendon in my knee 80% across in both places where it attaches to bone after a couple surgeries it was almost a year before I could even walk and have permanent knee problems now for the rest of my life,safety equipment is really important,I can't ride in parks or on ramps anymore just flat ground

I agree been riding Bmx for a year and made great progress and learned fast you need gear First-day bought a good helmet I crashed bad and hit my head helmet saved me ,and shin guards helps out so much

12:57 I like my shadow super slim ankle guards, I’ve had ankle braces in the past and didn’t like them felt I couldn’t move and the shadow slim ankle guards had more movement for me 👍🚲💨

Tried these knee pads on your recommendation and they just didn’t work out for me. One, they were uncomfortable. Went by their size guide but it kind of felt like they were a little small? Kept sliding down off of my thighs. Then I had to keep tightening them, which in turn cut off the circulation and made my legs hurt. Two, not very good quality. The knee pad started tearing apart without me ever having any kind of fall whatsoever??? Shadows customer service was great though and did give me a full refund for them. As for the shin guards, I can’t say because they were out if stick everywhere. So I bought Fuse shin guards which are really good and have saved me so many gashed up shins in a short period!!!

Was looking here for some shin guards info But for real, safety SO important, im riding mainly scooter, and DH but getting into bmx again. My WORST crashes were with my scooter, one at night , was literally just crusing around and hit a stupid little hole in the ground, knocked me tf out, woke up the next day, with last 2 days completly deleted, luckily no actual damage to the head/brain etc( im 6 years past that and i think im okey XD) And the last one, was in another city chillin, and i told myself " first hour gonna warm up" and i didnt took my helmet, lierally tripped after a 180 air and almost knocked myself out again, i barely seen with my left eye for like 1-2hs. Now i always hear my helmet when riding anything tricks related. I dont wear my helmet while riding my bike generally when i know i wont jump anything tho im getting a fullface for bmx dirt and i think im gonna be smart about it and use it always. Better to be a bitter sweatty than doing another ER visit.

I recently got a helmet at the winter welcome jam, and haven’t looked back. Fortunately in my years of riding I haven’t had any scary falls, but as I get bigger and better, I know I need to continue to protect myself. The next thing I’m getting are some shin pads and wearing my knee pads more often. I actually bought my knee pads to protect from my stem or top tube lol

[@Brant_Moore]

Glad to hear you've been fortunate so far in riding and that you're thinking this stuff. If you do get some of those shin pads, make sure you use my link!

[@rickadd5621]

I lucked out during a session today, cased a ledge and gashed my knee up and scraped my hip. I wish I had these earlier. I’m going to be down for at least a week

[@kevinbreckenridge6729]

I'm thinking about buying a pair of those knee pads for work after this.

[@Brant_Moore]

I’ve wondered how well they would do in some work applications depending on what they are. Feel like they could be good for something like flooring or plumbing

[@Brant_Moore]

If you do get some, let me know how they do for you at work. I’d be interested in hearing that

[@russellengland79]

It all keeps you going to work the next day, well Worth it.

[@raw_si_siht]

Thanks man. Used the code. Right on!!!

[@Brant_Moore]

I saw the email about it, that’s rad to hear!! I hope you love what you got man!

[@raw_si_siht]

@@Brant_Moore Yessir. Good-looking out. Messed up my calf on Easter Sunday... lol time to armor up. Be safe.

[@efrainescarsega3901]

Thanks for the recomendation,,,,,,,

[@TravisDey97]

Do they still make the shinners? I was looking and only found the knee pads and the invisa-lite shin gaurds.

[@Brant_Moore]

I think they’re on the way. Just not sure when they’ll be in
