BMX Racing, unlike people think, is a sport, and a intense one at that!!  It is a spot the consists of many things: Well built/light bike, endurance, leg musules, not being afraid hights, and high speed.  Some other thing are that u need to know how to jump on your bike and that you need all the normal equitment.

 

 

 

The most important thing you need is the Helmet.  The helmet is the most important because it helps you head incase of a fall.  Falls happen often. There are two different kinds of helmets; the strap and the hard mask.  They are mostly talking about the strap that protects the chin. The strap has a hard mask like in football that holds the chin.  Most racers use the hard helmet because it is safer.

 

 

In BMX Racing you must have lone sleeve shirt and long pants. Most Racers prefer to use the BMX Racing cloths that are made just for racing.
