The USA BMX National Headquarters and Hall of Fame Museum opened Feb, 2022 in the Greenwood District. Including the new 25,000-square-foot headquarters building and USA BMX Hall of Fame, in conjunction with the Hardesty National BMX Stadium. The outdoor free-span arena with seating for 2,000 hosts weekly racing, practices, coaching clinics, elite training camps and international events just north of downtown.

BMX tracks across the country come in all different shapes and sizes, but the Olympic-level track right here in Tulsa is a step above the rest. Built to cultivate future champions and test the current, the Hardesty National BMX stadium has something for every bike rider. Be a part of the Tulsa BMX scene by visiting Thursday practice nights, Saturday racing, or any clinics, camps, and beginner leagues, helping each level of racers excel on the track. You can reach us at the email above or message us at Hardesty National BMX Stadium on Facebook.

The past greats who paved the way for the future legends are on display in Tulsa. The National BMX Hall of Fame & Museum is home to countless pieces of BMX History, with room to expand as new history is unearthed. Attached to the museum are several classrooms perfect for your next special event. From birthday parties to quarterly business meetings, the National BMX Hall of Fame & Museum welcomes you to be surrounded by greatness for your next special occasion.

These project-based programs are student-centered and student-led, where instructors help facilitate the BMX STEM curriculum. Our eight-module curriculum is equal parts education and exercise; all centered around a bike. Flexible lesson plans are designed to be used in various settings, including school days, after-school, and summer camps. Our curriculum aligns with state STEM standards, including NGSS, and incorporates a pre/post-testing element that supports outcome-based reporting.
