Melissa also takes us back to the early days of BMX racing, sharing stories from a different era of the sport and discussing what it was like growing up and competing as a female rider in what is often a male-dominated environment.

From Hall of Fame recognition and world championship memories to a long-awaited return to racing, this is a fascinating conversation with one of BMX's true pioneers.

The "Legends Series" continues this week as Dozer and Stew catch up with Dean Patch. From the glory days of BMX racing as a youngster to the evolution of his coaching philosophy, Dean shares stories, insights and plenty of opinions from a lifetime in the sport.

Warning! This one nearly ticks over three hours. It turns out when you put Dean in a room with the boys, nobody seems too interested in finding the stop button. A fantastic chat that the boys thoroughly enjoyed, and we reckon you will too.

When it comes to BMX racing, Teya Rufus has been making plenty of noise on the track, but away from the gate she's someone who remains grounded, thoughtful and focused on the bigger picture.In this episode, Dozer and Stew catch up with Teya to talk about her recent World Cup success, the work that goes into competing at the highest level, and the lessons she's learned along the way.

What stands out throughout the chat however, is Teya's perspective. While she's fiercely competitive and driven to succeed, there's a genuine appreciation for the sport, the people around her, and the experiences that come with racing on the world stage.Settle in and enjoy this episode with Teya Rufus.

This week, the boys step away from the gate and into a story that reminds us BMX is about so much more than racing bikes.

They're joined by BMX dad Adam Wright, who, along with a group of dedicated BMX dads, is preparing to take on an incredible 200km ride from Ballarat BMX Club to Casey BMX Club. But this isn't just another long ride. They're riding to raise awareness and funds for the Fiona Elsey Cancer Research Institute, Ballarat's community-funded cancer research facility.

With a fundraising goal of $20,000, the ride is about backing life-saving cancer research, supporting families impacted by cancer, and showing what can happen when the BMX community comes together behind a great cause.

The boys chat with Adam about how the ride came to life, the challenge facing the team as they tackle 200km on two wheels, what keeps them motivated, and how the wider BMX family can get involved and help make a difference.

This is one of those episodes that proves BMX isn't just about racing... sometimes it's about changing lives.
