There's never been a more exciting time to be part of Canadian BMX. Olympic hopefuls Molly Simpson and Ryan Tougas continue to inspire the country's next generation of competitive riders, while the BMX Canada National Series provides the competitive foundation they need to develop.
A new season is on the horizon, and a new wave of riders are eyeing the coveted BMX Canada National Age Group and Overall titles. BMX Canada is fully committed to delivering the highest-level of racing experiences while ensuring that the sport is well-positioned for continued growth.
Superclass racing is back for 2026 — and it's bringing even more heat. The Pro-Am style class delivered one of the most exciting events in recent memory on Superclass Saturday at the 2025 Canadian Grands and returns for its sophomore year. Expect a hungry pack of up-and-comers gunning for National Champions Zach Frier and Makayla Brosius.
Meanwhile, the newly introduced 30+ Superclass shines a spotlight on BMX veterans and legends, giving these experienced riders their own battlefield for National glory. This division is expected to expand rapidly as more seasoned competitors step up to contend for the new title. Superclass will be featured at the Friday and Saturday National events.
Superclass Saturday at the Grands
After the dust settles from the Saturday National, you're invited back to the Red Barn to enjoy the new Canadian Grands Show. You'll have just enough time to hustle back to your room or campsite and freshen up before enjoying the pumped-up program. The new format combines the Superclass Final plus the 11-12 Trophy Dash and 13-16 Futures Showdown.
New National Track vs. Track Club Competition
BMX Canada is introducing a new Track Club vs. Track Club competition, and the best part is that we’re doing all the work. No paperwork, no fees and no stress. The new competition is designed for tracks to rally behind all their riders, regardless of age or proficiency. We want to hear your cheers for every single moto!
Every track with riders present is eligible and all riders are automatically rostered to the track listed on their membership. No team sheets required. We roll up all three days into an overall-Weekend score to determine the event winners and there will be year-end awards for the top three tracks in the series.
How it works: Daily points are calculated using Main Event finishes. The top 10 scores count as follows; Best 4 scores from Expert or Cruiser + Best 4 scores from Intermediate + Best 2 scores from Novice = total points.
The Future is now
BMX Canada is all in on the next generation — building the talent that will keep Canada on the podium at home and on the world stage. First up, the 11-12 Trophy Dash puts the top 4 NAG-ranked riders against each other in a battle for the classic trophy. Then, the 13-16 Futures Showdown takes the top 4 NAG-ranked riders from the 13, 14, 15, and 16-year-old Boys and Expert Girls classes and throws them into an epic showdown, with special awards on the line at Superclass Saturday during the 2026 Canadian Grands.
