USA BMX Grand Nationals has evolved into a huge holiday tradition that now brings more than 3,500 athletes from all 50 states and two dozen foreign countries to compete at Tulsa’s SageNet Center at Expo Square.
Professionals and amateurs from a wide variety of age groups will put everything on the line as they try to end the long season with one final podium appearance.
The USA BMX Race of Champions brings together state and provincial qualifiers from across the United States and Canada for one ultimate two-day showdown.
The night of Nov. 28 will feature the NAG 5 Challenge and the Pro Championship Final – all leading into Grand Nationals.
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.
Saturday and Sunday will be reserved for the amateur riders, who will compete 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.
The week of activities also includes 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

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.
