As we prepare for the 2025 USA BMX Grand Nationals in Tulsa, we want to make sure all Pro riders are up to date with this year’s competition format and schedule changes. Please review the following updates carefully:

Pro Class Structure for the Grand Nationals
To continue the legacy of the Grand Nationals as 'The Greatest Race on Earth' and allow our iconic night show to run in its proven, action-packed format, we are enhancing the Pro racing schedule. With the ever-growing number of Pro entries, the Men, Women, and Vet Pro classes will now build through 1/8 and 1/4 Mains. This change means fans get to see even more intense racing, with more rounds and more opportunities for their favorite riders to battle their way into the main event. Meanwhile, the Race of Champions (ROC) will continue to run at the Semi Main, matching the USA BMX Pro Series regular season.

Grands ABA Futures Semi with Pro Quarters (Friday Daytime)
The Invited 16 ABA Futures Semi will be run alongside the Pro Quarters during Friday’s daytime program. This alignment provides our developing ABA Futures athletes with valuable exposure to the professional environment, while also streamlining Friday’s race schedule for smoother flow and better coordination across all Pro categories.
 

Check-In for the Top 16 Men and Women ABA Futures will take place after ROC racing on Thursday, NOV 27th.  This will occur at the Blue USA BMX Registration Trailer.

 

ABA Futures Final to Lead Off Friday Night Pro Championship Finals
Friday night’s Pro Championship Finals will open with the ABA Futures Final. This allows our up-and-coming Futures riders to take the spotlight in front of the packed Grands crowd, setting the tone for an incredible night of racing while also allowing racers to also compete in the NAG 5 Challenge racing later in the night. 

 

The Pro Schedule: Thursday & Friday

 The schedule for Friday will feature Pro Motos during the morning hours and continue with the semi and main event rounds through at the Friday night show.  As a reminder, the Friday schedule is flexible; if rider counts require us to run eighth-mains, the start time will likely be adjusted. The final, official schedule will be posted in the Pro WhatsApp group once registration is complete.
