Leatt Moto GPX Club Neck Brace

To prevent all of the above potential injuries while your Youth make Motocross,there is currently no other neck Gear protection system available for motorcyclists that can effectively help like Leatt Moto GPX Club Neck Brace.The design rationale behind the Leatt-Brace™ is to bring the head to a controlled stop. This is achieved by providing a padded rigid structure that acts as an alternate load path for neck forces. Helmet impacts otherwise transmitted from the helmet to skull and then to the neck are re-directed from the helmet to the brace to other body structures in a safe way.

The design of the Leatt-Brace™ prevents the helmet/head from projecting over the brace and therefore prevents a fulcrum action, which has been documented in literature pertaining to the use of collar devices. The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX works with most types of body armor and chest protectors. It is also suitable for use by Superbike riders. Over long distances, the Leatt-Brace™ will also offer some relief from neck fatigue. Only leathers with a hump require minor modification.

The X-Strap (for upright riding position) and GP-Strap (for Superbike leathers with a hump), included with the MOTO GPX, are designed for the extreme rider who may experience 'float' at high speed (Superbike) or in a big air and flat-out whoop situations (motocross). Note: Not all riders will find the X-Strap and the GP-Strap necessary.

The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX is compatible with all motorcycle helmet types and our design allows riders an adequate range of movement. The Leatt-Brace™ MOTO GPX is designed for use on all motorcycles and ATVs for competition use, recreational riding and daily commuting. The Leatt-Brace™ has been tested by BMW Munich, KTM Works Riders, the SABS (South African Bureau of Standards). It is also endorsed by MSA (Motorsport South Africa). Technical Information:

  • Moto GPX Club Neck Brace
  • Materials - Glass Reinforced Nylon Upper and Lower
  • Weight: Medium - 850grams

The Leatt-Brace™ is an injection produced glass reinforced nylon neck brace system designed by medical professionals and motorcycle enthusiasts to help prevent:

  • Hyperflexion: extreme forward head movement
  • Hyperextension: extreme rearward head movement
  • Lateral Hyperflexion: extreme sideways head movement
  • Axial loading: compression of the spinal column due to the effect of force on the helmet
  • Posterior hypertranslation: rearward movement of the head/helmet on the neck

HJC SPX Helmet

It still amazes me that most Youth Motocross riders seem to prioritize adding "bling" parts to their bike rather than focusing on their own protection.Too many riders are saving as much as they can on their Gear helmet,body armor and boots to make sure they can find the money for the newest modification.Luckily, the HJC SPX helmet is economical enough so that all riders can manage to pay for it.

HJC are one of the foremost manufacturers in the industry. They develop and fabricate all their own helmets, which is why they can offer such high quality products at such a low charge. Of course, there are better helmets on the market, but as far as safety goes, this helmet has it all covered.

This is what most people don't realize; any kind of bang on a helmet must mean that you get a replacement. Helmets are intended to crumple and soak up force under blow, which means the inside could be damaged. This is why a lot of riders tend to buy two cheaper helmets rather than one high-priced one. Remember not to go too cheap though, anything below the standard of the HJC SPX motocross helmet and you'll be risking your own security.

The HJC features the likes of a Advanced Channeling Ventilation System which means that riders are at all times kept cool and fresh whilst riding. If that isn't enough then the SilverCool™ Interior should make certain that comfort is at its optimum!

Thanks to the construction of polycarbonate composite, the HJC SPX helmet is both durable and lightweight. Priced under $150, this helmet offers the perfect option to the more pricey brands!

Youth Motocross Gear Complete Protection

One of the most dangerous sports in the world is without any doubt Motocross,so Youth requires a very extensive Gear for the rider’s protection against serious injuries. A complete motorcross gear includes motorcross helmets, dirt bike pants, boots, gloves, jersey, chest protector, knee braces, neck restraints and protective goggles. Every one of these items is very important if a rider plans on walking out of the track in one piece because like any other dangerous sport, casualties and accidents are not uncommon when riding. With a very high risk involved, preparing your motorcross gear is most definitely just as important as learning how to ride the dirt bike.

Motorcross helmets are a full-faced helmet with longer visor than the ordinary motorbike helmet, chin bar and open face for the goggles. It is crucial that the helmet you choose fits your head snugly and comfortably for this will protect you from severe head injuries during accidents. Never cross out this item from your motorcross gear because you will want to take every measure to avoid head injuries and consequently any chances of getting brain damage.

Since this sport requires that a rider’s body is in top physical condition to be able to race, every limb must be protected as well. The protection of the legs and feet depend on the dirt bike pants and boots. Creators of the motorcross gear have made sure that a dirt bike boot and dirt bike pants are made to serve two purposes: comfort and safety. A dirt bike boot is made to prevent ankle and knee injuries. Make sure your chosen dirt bike boot for your motorcross gear has steel toe inserts, heel pads, shin and calf protector plates and heat shields. For dirt bike pants, built-in knee pads and hip pads are a must and should be durable as well as flexible enough.

The upper body is protected by the jersey, chest protector, neck restraints and gloves. Your motorcross gear is not complete without your very own design of jersey which sets you apart from all other riders during a race. A long-sleeve jersey protects you from debris, dust or mud while riding the dirt bike. Chest protector is worn underneath the jersey as additional protection from the debris coming from a rider in front of you on the track. The neck restraints protect against spinal injuries and although this still does not guarantee a hundred percent prevention, it is better than not wearing one at all. When getting your motorcross gear ready, the number one concern is safety. Taking stronger prevention measures means lower risk rates for sustaining serious injuries.

Oakley Mayhem MX Goggles

A essencial Gear that your Youth needs when is practicing Motocross is Oakley Mayhem MX Goggles.We've seen them floating around,and they have already been released in April this year to the public. Here are some details on the new Mayhem MX goggle.

The O-Matter frame has been redesigned for improved facial fit, while the size of the Lexan lenses has been increased to provide a greater visual range, and they feature F2 anti-fog technology. Of course, they also meet Oakley's usual high standards for visual clarity and impact protection.

Action sports are controlled mayhem, especially the kind that taunt fate at every turn. That’s why the champions of Motocross and Supercross trust their eyes to Oakley, not just for guarding their vision but for a level of performance that keeps victory in focus. Protection and clarity are just part of the story. Split-second maneuvers demand absolute concentration, so comfort is a critical aspect of goggle design. You’re looking at Oakley MAYHEM™, a new standard for comfort and the best fitting goggle anyone has ever designed. The moment you put it on, you’ll know MAYHEM is different. Aggressive styling is shaped with a completely redesigned facial contour. In addition to its radically new architecture, the flexible O MATTER® chassis is optimized with triple-layer face foam for a plush feel and superior moisture wicking. We created rigid O MATTER® strap outriggers to distribute pressure evenly, and we devised a quick release that makes strap changing fast and easy. MAYHEM comes with a removable nose guard and a pack of seven high-performance Oakley laminated tearoffs.

The triple-layer fleece face foam offers maximum comfort and moisture wicking during those long motos, and the strap outriggers spread goggle pressure across your entire face.

There's a James Stewart signature model available; and The Godfather, Mike Metzger, contributes art to another model. Other included goodies are clear and dark gray lenses, a nose guard, along with a set of Oakley's laminated tear-offs. Prices range from $70 for the basic white or jet black models, up to $90 for the signature models.

Youth Motocross Gear Body Armor

Coming in all different shapes and sizes,the Youth Motocross Gear body armor protects your chest and back from potential damage due to an accident.It can also protect your shoulders and belly and sometimes even your arms from the potential injuries that can be incurred while racing.Youth Motocross Gear body armor and you can purchase one that fits your needs with relative ease.

Chest Protectors: Chest protectors are motocross body armor that focuses on protecting the chest, neck and back. Often they are padded for the support of the neck and sometimes have a harder spine protector too. They don’t cover the stomach at all and only a few types protect the shoulders. They are generally worn over your clothing.

Armor Jackets: Armor jackets (or just body armor) is like a thick armored jacket which protects everything from the waist up, including the arms and shoulders. They are designed like a well fitting leather jacket, but with plenty of padding, mesh, and a hard chest piece, shoulders, elbows and belt. Since they cover far more of the body, they are that much more expensive, but they are also very convenient and last a long time.

Subframe: Subframe body armor merely covers the front and back and connects over the shoulders. They are made from a lightly rigid foam and padding which makes it useful for deflecting debris and absorbing shocks from more minor falls. However, subframes should be paired off with things like elbow guards in order to have more effectiveness.

Roost Deflector: Roost Deflector body armor are a cross between chest protectors and armor jackets; they cover the back, front and sides and have shoulder and elbow guards, but no sleeves. They don’t have as much padding though and there are gaps between the shoulders and the main piece which have to be dealt with. They are cheaper than armor jackets though, so are good to use if you want more protection, but can’t afford total protection.

Choosing a good Youth Motocross Gear body armor is an important piece to add to your motocross gear wardrobe. It protects you from the worst of any possible injuries you can get from racing and is both stylish and comfortable enough to wear whenever you need to. Don’t forget about your motocross body armor when you’re riding-for your own safety!

When deciding on a pair of Youth Motocross Gear Boots

Can be a tricky business when deciding on a pair of Youth Motocross Gear Boots.On the one hand, you’ll want a durable, safe boot that will provide great protection and hold up for years. On the other, you’ll want one that doesn’t break the bank and is comfortable in all weather conditions. We’ll highlight some of the factors you should consider when choosing a boot so you can decide what’s most important to you.

Of course, saftey should be your number one concern. Dirt bike racers frequently sustain ankle injuries that can knock them out of action for months. Look for any or all of the following features to provide the best level of protection: steel sole inserts, heat shields, polyurethane shin and calf protector plates, as well as shock absorbing heel pads.

Many of the above safety features also provide durability. The stronger the boot components, the safer it will be and the longer it will hold up. Some higher-end boots will also offer removeable soles that can be replaced when worn down. Since soles are often the first part of a boot to wear out, this is a great way to ensure your boot will last.

Buckles are typically made of aluminum or plastic. Plastic will save you some money but will wear out more quickly.

Unless you’re buying a custom-fitted boot, no boot will fit perfectly. But flexible panels in the upper, coupled with gel pads around the foot will ensure you get a snug, comfortable fit. Look for a removable bootie — this will allow you to adjust the fit around your foot to just your size.

If your foot is a non-standard width, you may need to hunt around or to opt for a custom boot. Mainstream boots typically are only available in a single, standard width.

Alpinestars, with their Tech 8’s and Tech 10’s, has been recognized as the leader for quite some time. Gaerne, with their SG-10 model, has closed the gap, though. And Sidi has always been known for great boots. Expect to spend between $300 and $400 for high-end boots. You can get away with a bit less if you’re looking to save money and are willing to sacrifice some of the above features. Don’t go too cheap, though, or you’ll sacrifice too much.

You’ll also want to consider the water-resistance of the boot. Many boots will have a gaiter — an insert designed to keep water out — that will do the job. Also consider the boot’s weight. All true racing boots will be lightweight, but if you’re concerned about every last ounce be sure to get accurate weight data before buying.

A special note about motocross boots for kids — while youth options are more limited than adult’s, many of the top manufacturers make smaller versions of their boots. While it makes sense to sacrifice a bit on durability of a boot, these boots typically do provide as many safety options as their standard offerings.
