BMX MUSEUM:
Located north of downtown, just up the street from the Tulsa Drillers field, are the new USA BMX HQ - which includes the massive Hardesty BMX Stadium as well as the BMX Hall of Fame & Museum. Our mission is to pay tribute to our sports roots and to honor all of those who have made this Sport so spectacular. BMX HALL OF FAME:
The National BMX Hall of Fame induction ceremony takes place
once a year - with the exact date and time to be announced at the beginning of the year. NOMINATING PROCESS: Each year, the National BMX Hall of Fame Committee requests nominations from the public and BMX community. We receive approx 40 to 50 Nomination forms each year and review each and every one of them for the coming year’s nominations. Anybody can nominate someone for the BMX Hall of Fame. Nomination forms are accepted from October to February, and all entrants are considered. The Hall of Fame committee will narrow down the nominees to the Top-5, who are then voted on by over 400 votees - made up of current Hall of Famers, BMX media and Industry, and Vintage BMX experts and historians. CRITERIA: When considering all Hall of Fame Nominations - the selection committee looks for Inductees who have made a serious impact on the sport of BMX; whether it be through performance, competition and accomplishments. Nominees in the Freestyle, Pioneer, Woman, and Racer categories are required to be inactive from professional competition for at least five (5) years or be over the age of 40. Nominees in the Industry category may still be active in the bike industry. All nominees should have made a direct impact to the sport of BMX in some of the following ways:
· Helped change the direction of the sport of BMX and left their mark in a positive manner.
· Influential and recognized figure in the sport of BMX.
