2012 USA BMX GRANDS YOUR GRANDS EXPERIENCE: Great racing, titles fought for and decided, plenty of room, this Race truly is The Greatest BMX Event on the Planet.
HOW GREAT THOU ART Do you know why they call the USA BMX Grands
Saturday Night’s Pro Spectacular & NAG 5 Challenge
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 SPECTACULAR and NAG-5 Challenge. With this new schedule for 2012, you should have plenty of time to head back to the room and freshen up before seeing the Big Pro Show go down. ** This is a ticketed event. Gates open at 5:00 pm and the show starts at 6:00pm and will end approx at 9pm.
WHO IS THE WORLD’S FASTEST AMATEUR?:
The NAG 5 Challenge answers that eternal question. The top five NAG (National Age Group) Amateur boys & girls ages - ages 15 and up, compete to be the answer to that Q. By the end of the night, we will know which boy and which girl Amateur reigns supreme. Big time product prizes and bragging rights keep this group motivated, and the racing is fast and furious!
“The Greatest Race on Earth?” Because year after year, the USA BMX Grands delivers the best in BMX racing for the seven National No.1 Titles. 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 can compare. It’s something you definitely need to “experience.”
The QT CENTER
Massive. Huge. Gigantic. Maybe even bigger than that. No; we’re not just talking about the Golden Driller statue out front. The actual QT Center building is a quarter mile long, and packed full of plenty for you and your entire family. On the upper level, is the BM-EXpo with tons of vendors, bike lock up and games to keep the kids out of trouble. Some have called it the BMXInterbike. On the lower level, will be the site of one of the raddest Grands tracks in history! Don’t miss out on it.
HELP DESIGN 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! This years’ Grands track will include input from YOU, the USA BMX members. JBL Audio has put up a prize for you to submit jump suggestions. If your obstacle(s) are used - you’lll win some cool JBL speakers and have the jump named after you. To win, go to: ???????????? (or click the QR code) to download an outline of the track. Submit your version on USA BMX’s Facebook page - or send to:
[email protected] SPECIALLY-MADE STRIDER TRACK & RACES:
New for 2012, USA BMX will construct a special “Strider Only” course, and will hold practice on Thursday @ 12 noon and Saturday at 9-10am. Strider races are available for all 2, 3 and 4 year olds. A practice course will also be set up in the Strider pit area.

NOVEMBER 18th deadline.
USED-PART ROW

Pros will qualify for the event during the 1st round motos of The Grands. Then, under the spotlight of Saturday night - the No.1 Vet Pro, Women Pro, and AA Pro titles will be decided and crowned during Saturday Night Pro Show.
