Using a BJJ rash guard or other spandex as an under-layer is a hot tip. Thanks, and great video.

Good coverage, as usual, Doug! Lycra is one thing you don't often hear a BMX rider talk about, but we do indeed wear it! Head to toe, I wear a Shadow Featherweight helmet, occasionally wear hard-cap elbow pads, a velcro under-garment belt with ample hip protection, TSG hard-cap knee pads and Lyrca under-shorts with tailbone padding. Don't usually were gloves but ordered a cheap pair of Fox branded ones from eBay cuz my new BSD Passenger grips don't appear to be wearing in and reducing in slip any time soon, lol. Should always wear a helmet, cuz you just never know when you're going down next but it's inevitable, right? Maybe you don't hit your head, maybe you do next time. I see way too many young kids hit their heads at skateparks.

What do you think about the gloves so far??

@@Dougsterbob I only got them in the mail today but rode for a few hours this afternoon and they were great! Felt a bit awkward having not worn gloves in forever but I'll be used to them in a few days. So far, so good!

I sometimes use hip pads, but always use shin and knee pads, Bmx gloves cause I hate blisters and when my hands get really sweaty and slippery and most def, I use a helmet. If you youngins get a helmet, make sure it's certified.

Spandex is hot. No way is there technology to make it cooler than not wearing it. I just don't get it. My pads don't slip. I took my time, ordered and returned, and tried a lot of things.

@cannaprime4041 2 жыл бұрын

So today I looped out and fell on my back and banged my elbow. 😭😩. What are your thoughts on elbow pads? Did you ever wear them?

@LittleBigKid707b 2 жыл бұрын

I don't mean this in a bad way, but who cares about others opinion. You want to protect your bones and be able to ride longer. I say get them. I use shin guards and they've saved my shins many times. Don't care how I look with them or if others use them or not.

Hey man, for a 5'7" guy, would you recommend a 20.4 top tube or 20.7? Chainstay would be 12,7. I want a responsive bike, i just cant decide between the two sizes.

@kirkwickham3336 2 жыл бұрын

Either would be fine if you want something responsive and snappy. If you feel you're still growing, probably go with the 20.7" What bike/frame are you looking to get?

@@zozocod That's a nice frame! You're right, it may be a bit big for you. If it genuinely does feel awkward to you, consider something smaller like the 20.7" or even the 20.4" you've mentioned. I'm 6'2" and ride a 21.1" toptube to give you some reference.

@@kirkwickham3336 thanks man, im getting it in about a month, hopefully ill be able to decide by that time.
