The Museum has dedicated a full exhibit featuring inductee profiles, vintage bikes, uniforms, trophies and memorabilia.

On October 24th, the Museum will host the annual Nebraska BMX Hall of Fame Banquet and Induction Ceremony, honoring BMX icons Stu Thomsen and Mike Miranda, both National BMX Hall of Fame inductees. The day includes a bike show and competition presented by ABSApro, the world’s largest rolling Redline Bikes display from the Rob Lane Collection, a freestyle exhibition by Nebraska’s Nowear team, an autograph signing and the induction dinner.

In 2025, the Museum partnered with Brad and Charlotte Fanshaw to establish the Nebraska Cup, honoring leadership and a lasting commitment to youth activities, mentorship and community
involvement, with a perpetual trophy on permanent display.
