EVERY week in Wyndham at a dirt track that is hidden from public view and surrounded by a large park, Australian and Victorian champions gather to perfect their skills.
The Wyndham Warriors BMX Club is home to an impressive list of champions, but it still remains largely unknown to the wider public.
President Gary Morgan said his son, son-in-law, daughter and even his five-year-old grandson were involved in the sport, testament to the inclusive nature of the sport.
“We get a lot of dads and their kids coming here and they ride around together,” Mr Morgan said.
“Anyone can do this sport as long as they can ride.”
The sport involves cyclists riding as fast as they can around a track littered with jumps and curves, trying to post the best time.
Mr Morgan said BMX was a largely forgotten sport despite those who take part in it being elite athletes.
“The best in the sport train just like AFL players,” he said.
“If you want maximum performance you’ve got to put in the effort.”
Mr Morgan said since the inclusion of the sport in the Olympics its popularity has increased.
On 9 March the club will be holding a Projam event with the top riders from throughout Australia taking to the track from 10.30am onwards.
On 21 April a professional BMX event will be held with more than 300 riders expected to attend.
