He's had his fair share of scrapes already and can certainly ride a bmx better than I could at 4  :daumenhoch:

Just trying to protect my investment lol

Will check out the fox peewee stuff as a mate owns local motorbike shop

Cheers.. Ordered peewee elbow and knee pads.
Could do with him trying a lid on for size somewhere before I get him one ?????

Christian 's head measuring bout 51.5cm

Would be great if he could try one before we buy, no rush just need one before track reopens  :)

Cheers Mick

My little lads have both got Fox Peewee elbow pads - very light and comfortable. One had got a 661 lid and the other an Azonic lid. All fits well and is light and does the job.

Been looking at 661 comp shifted lids but unsure of size, XS is 52cm-54cm and he is only 51.5cm should be ok but don't want it to be too big.

Peewee stuff gets rated off a few lads I know who's kids race motocross so ordered them.
Thanks for info
