The legacy of the skate
The bowl helmet, round, with a thick shell and descending low on the neck, originates from culture of skateboarding, which shares skateparks, bowls, and street with BMX freestyle. It has become a part of the rider's style. Brands from the sliding scene, such as Bern, founded in Massachusetts, or Roces, an Italian skate brand, offer modern, lighter, and ventilated versions.
The rest of the outfit

All the gear can be found on the BMX page.
On the track
On the BMX race track, a full-face helmet is mandatory: it protects the face and jaw during high-speed falls. The Fly Racing Werx-R Carbon, with a carbon shell, combines lightness and strength for experienced riders. The Fly Racing Rayce, more accessible, comes in adult and child sizes, just like the Shot Armada for young riders. It is paired with a mask and gloves.
Size and lifespan
You measure your head circumference at the forehead; the helmet should fit snugly without moving when you shake your head, with padding in contact without pressure points. Different thicknesses of padding, often provided, help fine-tune the fit. A helmet designed for a single impact should be replaced after any significant fall; it should also be replaced when the shell is cracked or the straps are frayed.

Frequently asked questions
Bowl helmet or full-face for BMX?
The bowl helmet, round and low at the back of the neck, is the choice for freestyle in skateparks and street. The full-face helmet, with a chin guard, is required in BMX racing and protects the face at high speeds on the track.
Why choose a carbon full-face helmet for racing?
Carbon allows for a shell that is both lightweight and strong, as seen in the Fly Racing Werx-R Carbon. The rider experiences less neck fatigue on jumps and tricks while enjoying high protection.
What helmet for a child starting BMX?
A lightweight and well-fitted bowl helmet is sufficient for the first rounds at the skatepark; for the track, the child should wear a full-face helmet like the Shot Armada. Decorated models appeal to younger users and encourage them to wear it.
Is a skate helmet suitable for BMX?
Yes for freestyle: the bowl helmet comes from skateboarding, which shares skateparks and street with BMX. Sliding brands like Bern and Roces offer modern, lighter, and ventilated versions.
How to adjust a bowl helmet?
The helmet should fit snugly on the forehead without obstructing the view and cover the neck. The chin strap should be adjusted to go under the ears and allow for a finger's width under the chin; the helmet should not move when shaking the head.
