2025 National BMX Hall of Fame Inductees

Tulsa, OK – As the BMX Hall of Fame celebrates its 40th anniversary, the Class of 2025 has been revealed, honoring pioneers, racers, industry innovators, and the track operators who have shaped the sport across generations. Since its founding in 1985, the Hall of Fame has enshrined more than 190 icons, and this year’s class represents a perfect blend of history, innovation, and legacy.

Early Racer: Mike Poulson

Known as “the guy who put Utah on the BMX map,” Mike Poulson carved his place in history as a fierce competitor and cultural ambassador for the sport. From his early dominance in the ABA District No.1 plates to becoming Jag World Champion in 1980, Poulson was a fixture on magazine covers and even appeared in television features during BMX’s early boom. As one of BMX Action’s original “Terrible Ten,” Poulson not only raced among legends but later gave back as a coach at Woodward Camp, helping pave the way for future generations.

Racer: Greg Romero

Greg Romero’s racing career spanned decades, highlighted by fluid transitions into the Pro ranks and multiple ABA Pro World Cup titles. Romero’s resume includes ABA Grands victories, a Monster X championship, and X Games appearances. Beyond racing, Romero built a reputation as an entrepreneur and coach, creating Revtec bikes and later training Olympic medalists like Mike Day and Jill Kintner. His work as a columnist, instructional DVD producer, and skills author solidified his impact as both racer and teacher.

Industry: Brian Scura

Brian Scura’s inventions reshaped BMX technology forever. As the mastermind behind innovations like the SST Gyro (later licensed to Odyssey), Dirt Skirt, and Race Lace hubs, Scura’s influence reached both racing and freestyle. He was also a mentor to future Hall of Famers, an early freestyle team organizer, and a record-setting stuntman in his own right. Few individuals have contributed as much to BMX’s technical evolution.

Woman: Cathy Hanna

In the late 1970s and early ’80s, Cathy Hanna stood out as one of the sport’s first female stars. Racing out of Indianapolis, she became a household name in BMX magazines, national ads, and as the first female racer to win BMX Plus! Personality of the Year in 1980. Hanna’s speed, style, and visibility opened doors for countless women to follow in her tracks, cementing her as a trailblazer in women’s BMX.

Early Freestyle: Eddie Roman

Creative, innovative, and undeniably unique, Eddie Roman helped define freestyle’s style and culture. From winning contests in the 1980s to producing influential videos like Aggroman and Ride On, Roman’s creativity both on and off the bike left an imprint that continues to inspire BMX filmmakers and riders alike.

Freestyle: Kevin Robinson

The late Kevin Robinson, or “K-Rob,” left an unparalleled mark on freestyle. Known for inventing the Double Flair and setting Guinness World Records for highest air and longest assisted backflip, Robinson combined daring athleticism with charisma. A four-time X Games gold medalist, motivational speaker, commentator, and founder of the K-Rob Foundation, his legacy reaches far beyond ramps and arenas. Robinson’s induction honors a life dedicated to pushing BMX’s boundaries.

Track Operations Honorees

The backbone of BMX has always been its volunteers, and this year the Hall of Fame recognizes four families whose decades of dedication built thriving communities around local tracks:

• Dave & Erma Miller (Florida – 48 years of service)

• Bruce & Betty Mulligan (New York – 44 years of service at Shoreham BMX)

• John & Debi Diaz (Nevada – 41 years as Las Vegas operators and commissioners)

• Don & Kathy Olson (Connecticut – 42 years of leadership at Bethel BMX)

Celebrating 40 Years of Legends

The BMX Hall of Fame was founded in 1985 by ABA owner Bernie Anderson, with Dave Clinton, Stu Thomsen, and Linn Kastan as its first inductees. Now, four decades later, the Hall has a permanent home inside USA BMX headquarters in Tulsa, OK, featuring a 4,000-square-foot museum open to the public.

This year’s Hall of Fame Weekend takes place September 19–21 at the Hardesty BMX Stadium. Festivities include Friday’s reception, Saturday’s vintage bike show and induction ceremony, and Sunday’s Outsiders House Ride-Out through Tulsa.

The Class of 2025 not only honors BMX’s past but also reminds us of the sport’s ever-growing impact on culture, competition, and community.
