grands HOtLINE Do you know why they call the USA BMX Grands “The Greatest Race on Earth?” Because year after year, the USA BMX Grand National delivers the best in BMX racing for the National No.1 Titles and is the largest BMX race in the sport. Yet, it’s not only the title chases that make this event so “Grand.” The USA BMX Grands is a true BMX spectacle. From the track to the gigantic vendor area and pits, no other BMX race compares.
Saturday Night: USA BMX Pro Championship Final & NAG 5 Challenge
This is the biggest single night of racing in the USA BMX season! Period. On Saturday night - following the 1st round of Grands motos, will be the Pro Championship Finals and NAG-5 Challenge. You should have enough time to hustle back to the room and freshen up before seeing the big Pro show. NAG 5 Challenge: The NAG 5 Challenge answers the question “Who is really the Fastest Amateur in the U.S.?” The top five National Age Group (NAG) Amateur boys (in 14 to 19-27) & girls (ages 14 to 17-20) will compete. We will know which boy and which girl amateur reigns supreme by the end of the night! Bigtime product prizes and bragging rights keep this group motivated, and the racing is fast and aggressive.
2015 Pro Titles: To be Decided Saturday Night
Pros will qualify for the event during the 1st round motos of The Grands. The Vet Pro, Women Pro, and AA Pro titles will be decided and Champions will be crowned during the Saturday Night Show.
The Arena
Massive. Huge. Gigantic. Maybe even bigger than that. But not boring. The River Spirit building is a
quarter mile long, and packed full of plenty for you and the family. On the upper level, is the BM-Xpo with tons of vendors, bike lock up and games to keep the kiddies out of trouble. On the lower level, will be the site of one of the best Grands tracks in history -- a yearly tradition.
The TRACK
The Grands track is always something of legend as it is constructed with more dirt than any other track in the World. It has something for everyone and in the past few years has featured split sections, berm jumps and more!
Lock ‘em down...
The USA BMX staffers will be hard at work throughout the week to set up a massive bike lockup. With no bikes being allowed in the seating area, bring the ol’ lock and cable to insure the safety of the ride.
AVOID THE LINES-PRE-SIGN Pre-sign, Pre-sign, Pre-sign! Sign up in advance via Internet. Just be sure to have it all in before the deadline.
Hook up the Toy Hauler and come on out... On site camping? Oh yeah. Located right on the premises of the River Spirit Expo are 200 RV spaces. The Grands Experience: great racing, titles fought for and decided, plenty of room, this race truly is The Greatest BMX event on the planet.
