BMX is an exciting sport when safety is addressed properly. Security of the body and eyes minimizes the potential risks associated with extreme exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. This website is for bikers who would like to know about the different ways of riding safely while protecting against dangerous UV rays.

Bikers face a new challenge when acquiring quality sunglasses at an affordable price. The majority of companies manufacture costly sunglasses, for instance Ray Ban. Inexpensive "BMX sunglasses" can be found at SeaSpecs, which cost $49.95 each and come standard with their patented, impact resistant polarized lenses which provide 100% protection from the Sun’s harmful UV rays, along with their secure strap which keep them on your head while biking.

Due to the risk of injury, protective clothing and gear is essential for BMX. BMX safety should always be a priority. A good start for a BMX rider is protecting the part of the body we all see with, the eyes. Riding your BMX on a bright sunny day can prove to be tiresome, give you a headache and cause blurred vision. To achieve a safer and pleasant riding experience, a biker should wear the right kind of sunglasses to maintain focus, help block out bright shiny rays and improve visibility. This helps avoid injury while protecting your eyes from dangerous rays.

It is very easy if you are not an experienced rider to fall off even doing easy BMX tricks and it can be very easy to hurt yourself. The BMX safety equipment list begins with the proper helmet. If you injure your head it can be very dangerous and a good helmet that is actually made for BMX riding is one of the first things that you should buy. You have two main sorts of helmets, the full face BMX helmet and the open skate/ BMX helmet. The full face helmet is mostly used for BMX racing and BMX vert while the open helmet is commonly used for riding in the park or pool. For the best protection you should pick the full face helmet, on the other hand, the full face helmet is much heavier and more uncomfortable so the choice is up to you. The next things that you should buy are elbow and knee protectors. They are the most likely body parts to get injured if you fall off and you should not start to practice until you have bought them.

Additionally, sunglasses containing UVA & UVB provide extra protection because they help block the dangerous ultraviolet rays which can create a blinding light. The last thing a biker wants is blurred vision due to blinding light created by the sun and extreme exposure to ultraviolet rays can ultimately lead to glaucoma.

You could also join your local BMX club. They are great places to learn and to meet other BMX owners and riders. You can pick up some really great tips there about the best tricks for beginners and they are usually really great places for new owners to go to for advice.

In regards to protecting biker’s eyes from UV rays, wraparound sunglasses also provide further protection by keeping sweat out of biker’s eyes.

Therefore, always wear protective eyewear and clothing while riding your BMX to protect yourself as much as possible.
