What inspired you to become a BMX athlete?

"I started BMX in the 5th grade of elementary school. I followed my older brother (athlete Joon-soo Yoon), and at first, I only did BMX. Then, as I entered high school, I began to do road cycling as well. I ended up competing in both disciplines because each has its own unique charm."

Is there a memorable episode from your sports career?

"During training, there was a jump ramp that I didn't even dare to try. I thought I would never be able to jump it, but when I actually tried, I succeeded. At that moment, I felt a huge sense of satisfaction and pride in what I had accomplished myself."

Could you give us your honest review after wearing WaveWear?

"The protective gear I used to wear would slip down during repetitive movements in training, or it was uncomfortable during action. WaveWear was much more comfortable because it allowed for great mobility without those inconveniences. Since I repeat the same movements during exercise, I had some knee pain, but that has also decreased significantly."

Is there a product you would recommend most?

"I liked the 'Elbow Sleeve E2' the most. Unexpectedly, BMX and cycling involve using the upper body quite a lot. Wearing the 'Elbow Sleeve E2' helped prevent injuries and was very comfortable during exercise."

Wavewear wholeheartedly cheers for Seoyeon Yoon’s inspiring journey.
