Armor Up! provides youth riders with free helmets, pads, and protective gear to ensure safe participation in mountain biking, BMX, and other action sports programs, removing financial barriers and giving every rider the confidence and accessibility to progress their skills safely.

The program combines safety education with hands-on practice, teaching proper use of gear and injury prevention while fostering responsibility and self-awareness among young athletes.

By providing safety gear and education, Armor Up! promotes healthy, active lifestyles and reduces injury risk for youth in our community. Families gain access to programs they may not otherwise afford, and participants are empowered to ride, learn, and grow with confidence.

The program also strengthens community ties by connecting youth, mentors, and volunteers around a shared commitment to safety and skill development. Every helmet, pad, and lesson contributes to building a safer, more inclusive biking community.
