What's needed for BMX racing
A race worthy bike is a necessity. Bikes can cost what you want them to. Anything that looks like a BMX bike is a BMX bike and suitable.
A BMX helmet is very similar in design to a Moto-X helmet, but is constructed of lightweight materials. Full face helmets of a one piece construction are recommended.
Racing pants are usually made from nylon or sail cloth materials as these are more difficult to tear. Padding is inserted into the knee and hip areas. Tracksuit pants and jeans are also suitable.
A racing jersey is essentially a long sleeved shirt with padding sewn into the elbow. Any long sleeve top is acceptable.
BMX gloves are available at most bike shops, any type of gloves may be worn as long as they cover all of the fingers.
Any flat soled tennis style shoe or runner will provide the necessary grip required on the peddles with which riders must wear ankle length socks.
