Motocross Racing - 7 Ways To Stay Safe
Motocross racing will give you a high like nothing else on earth. There's absolutely nothing in the World that beats the thrill of charging along an MX track, packed with huge jumps and sharp turns, your heart pounding madly, and your adrenaline soaring sky high. But, in order to enjoy the sport to the full, you need to know you've done your utmost to protect yourself against the spectacular spills that are part-and-parcel of this game. This makes choosing the right protective gear and clothing imperative. So, let's take a look at the basic things you'll need.
1. Motocross Helmets
First on your list is a quality helmet, to protect your head and neck during impact, and to prevent or reduce head injury.
A typical motocross helmet will possess elongated chin and visor portions, a chin bar, and a partially open face, to give you extra protection whilst wearing goggles. The visor will help keep the sun out of your eyes – particularly important during jumps.
You'll want your helmet to fit well, without being uncomfortable. And, do remember to buy a new one if you have an accident.
2. Motocross Goggles
Remember to take your helmet with you when buying goggles, as you'll want the goggle frame to fit into the helmet eyeport. You'll be looking for a really durable pair that fit comfortably against your face, stay secure, and offer good peripheral vision.
3. Motocross Boots
It's true that good motocross boots are costly. But, you'll need to buy boots specifically designed for motocross in order to obtain the necessary protection of not only your feet, but also your ankles and legs. No point in purchasing cheap boots just to fracture your foot after a fall! Take your time choosing them … try several different makes, and ensure the ones you finally pick are snug and comfortable.
4. Motocross Gloves
Your gloves will protect your hand, palm and fingers in case of a fall, and against the weather. They should also improve your grip. You'll be after a pair that's comfortable, and fairly lightweight.
5. Motocross Pants
Even in warmer weather, it's best to wear full motocross pants to protect your legs from light burns and scrapes. They should be made of a lightweight material which allows ventilation, with enough room for you to wear knee guards.
6. Motocross Jerseys
Look for a jersey made from rip-resistant material, preferably with added padding at the shoulders and elbows. Make sure it's comfortable, allowing plenty of room for movement. It's a good idea to wear extra Elbow Guards.
7. Neck Brace
And, finally, don't forget your neck. Wear a brace to reduce neck and spinal injuries.
You'll find many different makes of motocross gear, at a variety of prices. Confused about which is best? Then, ask the advice of all your motocross friends – they're sure to have plenty of tips to offer you. But, do make sure you're well-protected, because you don't want to waste time away from your motocross racing because of injury!
