Another memorable USA BMX season will come to a close this month with the 2025 USA BMX Grand National Championship, also the final competition of a 12-event debut campaign for USA BMX on FloBikes.
Grand Nationals, set for Nov. 29-30, is known affectionately around the BMX world as “The Greatest Race on Earth,” and there’s no doubt it will deliver again in 2025.

On Nov. 27-28, the USA BMX Race of Champions, a two-day event that brings together state and provincial qualifiers from across the United States and Canada for one ultimate showdown, will take the spotlight.
The night of Nov. 28 will feature the NAG 5 Challenge and the Pro Championship Final – all leading into the big finale on the 2025 USA BMX Pro Series schedule.
Dedicated cycling fans can catch all the action live on FloBikes and the FloSports app, beginning Nov. 27 at 9 a.m. Eastern.
For the NAG 5 Challenge, 50 top amateurs – five from each of the 10 age-based categories (five women’s, five men’s) – will meet in a unique showdown that allows them to line up against competition they wouldn’t normally face. It’s a fun way to add their names to the record books and get on the radar early for next season.
In the Pro Championship Final, many of the sport’s best will compete for the title of USA BMX National No. 1 Pro in five categories – Men Pro, Women Pro, Vet Pro, ABA Futures Women and ABA Futures Men – along with a $100,000 prize purse. The latter two are new to the agenda for 2025, as the event continues to grow in popularity.
Once the pros have had their chance to claim their national titles Friday night, the stage will be turned over to the amateur riders, who will spend Saturday competing for their own national age group titles and overall national titles.
The ultimate prizes will be handed out Sunday, when the dreams of four Grand National winners (amateurs) and two team titlists are realized at the SageNet Center.
Throughout the entire week, fans will get the chance to see today’s stars compete, while also getting a glimpse of the athletes who will dominate the sport in the future.
There will be less formal races, demonstrations, a Thanksgiving dinner, opportunities to interact with the professionals and get autographs – even coffee with the pros.

About The USA BMX Pro Series
In early 2025, USA BMX and FloSports announced a multi-year agreement that would make FloSports the streaming home for the biggest events on the USA BMX Pro Series calendar.
The partnership began with a 12-event schedule from March through November but also has included behind-the-scenes content, interviews, analysis, a deeper look into BMX racing and a chance for subscribers to enjoy many cycling disciplines and events throughout the year.
USA BMX was formed in 2011 when the American Bicycle Association, the governing body of BMX, joined with the National Bicycle League. Together with BMX Canada, USA BMX has made it a goal to grow the sport.
The ABA was founded in 1977 and headquartered in Tulsa.
The organization now includes more than 70,000 members, over 300 sanctioned BMX track across the United States and Canada and a structure that allows athletes to evolve from novices to Olympic champions.
What Is BMX?
BMX, or bicycle motocross, grew out of the late 1960s and early 1970s in California.
Using what is believed to be modified 20” Schwinn Stingray bicycles, according to USA BMX, the early pioneers of the sport loved motorcycle racing, and that inspired the creation of BMX.
Helped by the success of the film “On Any Sunday” in 1971, BMX exploded in popularity.
By the end of the decade, the American Bicycle Association was created and began organizing and sanctioning the sport.
When Did BMX Become An Olympic Sport?
In 2008, BMX racing became an Olympic sport and debuted at the Beijing Olympics. BMX freestyle was added in 2020.
The first Olympics to host BMX events was dominated by riders who competed in the ABA and NBL events, winning three Olympic medals.
