items Of course we all know pads are meant to protect you when you fall but something most people don’t realize is they give you the confidence and the freedom to push further. There’s something about being confident that you’re not going to get hurt at le...

After 20 years of being reckless, this is the gear that kept me safe
I’ve been using this helmet for years, it’s super sturdy and although I don’t ever really fall and hit my head, I like the confidence the helmet gives me knowing that if it did happen, I would be OK.
BMX / Skate / WHATEVER Helmet
I can’t get myself to ride without shin pads, I’ve cut myself and gotten so many bad bruises from getting hit by pedals that if it wasn’t for these pads, I probably wouldn’t be riding anymore. These pads specifically are great because you can tuck th...
Knee / Shin Guard
I really like these, I don’t wear them too often as elbow pads, but sometimes I like to tuck them in my shoes. It sounds weird, but they’re thin and they make an incredible ankle pad, when I was learning BMX tailwhips I was constantly smacking my ank...
BMX / Skate Super Slim Elbow Pads
A good lace up ankle brace is another very important one for me. I’ve sprained ankles a few times and it’s awful, you’re out for weeks. These prevent your ankles from rotating too far and getting a sprain. They still give you the flexibility to move ...
BMX / Skate Ankle Brace Lace Up Compression Strap Support
I don’t always use gloves, I personally feel they make it tough to Bar spin but if I’m not planning on doing any Bar spins and I’m on a rugged ground like a gravel road I definitely put them on. I’ve gotten road rash across my palms and nicked my knu...
Bmx Gloves
These have been my go to BMX shoe for 10 years or more. They give you great ankle support and the pattern on the bottom of the shoe is designed to catch the pins in your pedals. I do occasionally rip the side of the side of the shoe and I think it’s ...
Vans Sk8-Hi
I always have a pair of insoles in my riding shoes. They don’t do a huge amount, but they do take the edge off of some of the impact that may happen while I’m out and about on my bike.
BMX / Skate Dr Scholls Inserts
Now this one’s not for everyone and maybe it’s aiming more towards skateboarders, but a wrist brace can definitely be helpful. I sprained my wrist a few years back and it took me almost 2 years before it was at 100% again, this totally could’ve been ...
BMX / Skate Wrist Guards
When I tell people I wear hip pads, they’re surprised, and I think it’s because most people don’t even think of these when they think of pads but they have saved me so many times. Whenever you’re trying something at the skate park, especially and you...
Protective Padded Compression BMX / Skate Shorts
If I put a mouthguard in you better bet stuff is about to get crazy. This is usually the last thing that I put on depending on how big the trick is that I’m going to try. If you were going to try flips. I definitely recommend putting a mouthguard in....
BMX / Skate Mouthguard
I really like these when I practice flips in the yard. They had a little bit of cushion, which makes it nice when you’re trying something new but what I like about them the most is they fold up and they’re easy to store away. You just run and grab on...
Gymnastics Mat
Now of course you don’t need to get these water bottles haha, but I thought I would put them here as a reminder that staying hydrated while you’re out trying stunts or just trying something new is almost as important as a helmet. Stay hydrated, stay ...
Water Bottle
Here’s a video of me doing my thing. I’m also wearing almost all of the pads on this list in this video. Put your pads on go try something new, and most importantly, if you’re not falling, you’re not trying.
