BMX Elbow Pads

Do BMX Riders Utilise Elbow Pads?

Riders across various levels and styles incorporate BMX elbow pads into their gear. They're especially favoured by individuals riding on dirt tracks, at skate parks, and on vert ramps. However, many standard flatland riders also opt for them, desiring additional protection and assurance. Elbows, being bony joints with numerous nerves, benefit greatly from proper padding which can help prevent both minor and more serious injuries.

All elbow pads available in this category are crafted to resist impact and offer optimal freedom of movement. The materials in BMX elbow guards are designed to wick moisture, enabling your skin to remain breathable. This means they can be comfortably worn throughout the day.

Opt for One of Two Types of BMX Elbow Protection

BMX elbow pads featuring the traditional hard cap shell deliver the utmost protection. They utilise soft padding against the skin, with the hard cap on the exterior. In contrast, BMX Pads lacking a hard cap are referred to as elbow gaskets. This type of soft shell padding provides less protection but is far lighter and can be layered under your BMX Clothing. They also offer increased comfort and movement flexibility. Similar variations can be found in BMX Knee Pads.

In addition to safeguarding elbows and knees, the lower legs are another area prone to injury while engaging in BMX riding. Explore the protection available for BMX Shin and Ankle Guards.
