Helmets







In Motocross Equipment the first step to buying a safe Helmets is to buy one that is both DOT and Snell certified. Virtually all helmets have the DOT certification, but spend the extra dollars for one with Snell Foundation certification. It's your head so choose a good one!

The motocross helmet has a wider chin area and the visor is wider. Also the visor is designed in a special way so that the rider can wear goggle replacing a regular visor. The reason that the chin guard is wider is to better protect the chin area because motocross rides really whack their faces in all the falls they take.

Getting the right fit is critical for your helmet. If you buy it too large your head won’t be secured and protected. If you buy it too small, you’ll never feel comfortable. For a good fit, measure the distance around the widest part of your head. Knowing your hat size will also help!
Ventilation is another way to feel comfortable, if you are to hot and sweaty you will not enjoy wearing the helmet. But when you have good ventilation through the helmet your helmet becomes apart of your body and you are more comfortable in riding the dirt bike.

MOTOCROSS EQUIPMENT


When we talk about Motocross Equipment, the first thing we should think about is protection and safety. Motocross is probably the most dangerous type of riding you'll do on a motorcycle. This means you'll need the proper equipment to ensure your safety in the event of a crash or fall.

Comfort is important to safety as well. A rider who is distracted by uncomfortable Motocross Equipment isn't giving full attention to the track. It may not seem like much, but a split second can make all the difference.

Once you have settled for your dirt bike, it is time to select the Motocross Equipment. You need to take gear for protection, boots to protecting your feet, and goggles for the eyes. You have to select a good Helmets for the safety of your head, gloves for the safety of hands, a Chest Protector should cover the ribcage but should not interfere with the sitting position of the rider. Wearing a jersey and riding pants will be a good option for the new riders. A kidney belt is essential as well, as elbow guards, and knee pads.

Better Motocross Equipment often lasts longer. It may cost more up front, but you buy less often so you actually spend less money overall. This dose not mean you need to buy the most expensive motocross Equipment you can find. You can go a couple of steps down and still get equipment that is high quality and safe. However you certainly should be shopping on the upper end of the price scale.
