USA BMX and BMX Canada are launching five (5) new classes for Mountain Bikes. Starting on May 1st, 2023, these classes will be available at sanctioned BMX tracks across the US & Canada with the launch of a sanction-driven summer series for Mountain Bikes.


The five classes include an all-inclusive MTB Dirt Jumper class and four age-category classes for traditional MTBs. The series will point and rank riders from May 1st to August 31st in 2023. The classifications will follow the popular USA BMX district points, and riders will accumulate points towards their assigned district at each race they participate in.  There will be a special award for the winner in each district for both the Dirt Jumper and Mountain Bike categories.

During the week of April 22nd-29th, 2023, USA BMX tracks are encouraged to host an open house specifically for MTB riders.  Find your local track by clicking here.

We are excited to launch this programming and gain feedback to create the highest quality programming for BMX tracks regardless of the wheel size!   We continue to look for opportunities within the sport of BMX that allow for additional utilization of BMX tracks.  The demand for usage by Mountain Bikes has hit tracks nationwide, and we are happy to welcome new families to the track.
