For 2021, USA BMX has completely restructured professional racing and made several improvements that will increase participation while also increasing prize money for our Men's Pro and Women’s Pro classes. Here are the exciting highlights of our new 2021 USA BMX Pro Series:
More Prize Money: USA BMX will award an estimated $500,000 in event prize money in 2021. The prize money has been greatly increased and USA BMX has returned to awarding prize money on a rider count (scale) basis.
New Structure: USA BMX Pro Series races will now offer 3 categories of professional racing. Men Pro, Women Pro, and Vet Pro (minimum age of 30).
Revised Age Requirement: Riders can now participate in the Pro class at the age of 17 with a year of birth of 2004 or earlier.
B Main Shootout: Pro Series races will now feature an exciting new format for Men Pro and Women Pro classes. Any rider who does not qualify for the Main Event from the Semi, will have the opportunity to compete for up to $2,050 in prize money in the new B Main Shootout.
Pro Open and Women Pro Open: All non-Pro Series events will offer Men Pro Open and Women Pro Open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Prize Money will be based on a rider count (scale) basis.
Year-End Payout: The 2021 USA BMX Pro Series will award $42,000 in year-end prize money with $21,000 up for grabs for the top 5 in both the Pro and Women Pro classes.
UCI Events: Some Pro Series nationals will feature UCI racing for the Jr. Men, Jr. Women, Elite Men, and Elite Women classes. These races will NOT be part of the USA BMX Pro Series and will take place separately on Sunday at designated events. Prize money will be based on the UCI published scale.
