With BMX comes a lot of crashing. There’s no way around it, no matter how good you are… You’re going to take some spills and slams. That’s just part of how it goes. With that being said, it’s never a bad idea to have some protection to keep you from getting cut up, broken and battered from those crashes, slipped pedals or freak instances where you get caught up and going down hard. We recently got our hands on the Alpha Whip / Shin pads, Delta knee pads and Icon helmet from Fuse Protection and figured it would be a good idea to give you guys a closer look at some of the features that make these pads so beneficial. If you’re looking for some new pads or considering that it might be time to start covering up a bit, take a look!

Watch Dennis Enarson, Chad Kerley, Christian Rigal, Rob Wise, Connor Lodes, Geoff Slattery, Ronnie Napolitan and Mike Jonas take slam after slam after slam to get the clips that made the video so epic! BMX makes you tougher than nails from all the ass kickings you take, that’s for sure!

Scot Breithaupt Tribute – Joe Kid on a Stingray
With the news of Scot Breithaupt passing away the other day, there has been A LOT of media coverage from the New York Times to the LA Times and countless others paying tribute to Scot and what he had done for the sport of BMX. Without a doubt, we would not be where we are today without Scot or any of the other guys who have done so many substantial things for BMX. Here’s a tribute video from the Joe Kid on a Stingray video for Scot. This really talks about how what he did all started, how SE Bikes became a thing and grew to be so massive and some of the things that lead to Scot having some hard times. All in all, this 11 minute video is an incredible story and will definitely make you appreciate everything he had done.
In all honesty, it kind of sucks that it seems like now that he has passed, that people are really taking notice of what he had done for BMX. Scot was definitely one of a kind, and it takes those one of a kind guys to push things and create something special. Rest in Peace, Scot. BMX will never forget you.
