BMX Common Problems

Some head shapes require more fiddling with fitting pads and straps. Extra small heads may need thick fitting pads. Extra large heads require an XXL.

Ponytail ports can improve fit for those with long hair. Bald riders may want to avoid the use of helmets with big top vents to prevent unwanted tan lines. For a softer landing, senior riders should pick a thicker, less dense model without huge vents.
