The New Zealand BMX-run trophy competition is annually run over 10 rounds, including the North and South Island Championships as well as the seven regional meeting between January 1 and before Christmas.
At the recent Wellington Regional Championship, the Triple J BMX outfit accrued the highest points to eclipse their rivals to become round winners.
"It was really good for us because we were up against factory-backed teams from Waikato and Christchurch," says Troup of a fledgling Bay team who have a rider, Bayleigh Rees, of Auckland, as the only non-Bay member.
"Bayleigh is an elite rider and in a different category of the competition," he says of the 18-year-old, likening him to someone in the mould of Olympian Sarah Walker and had competed at the recent Oceania Champs in Auckland.
At the Oceania, Colman-Savage was runner-up in her age group while Stevie-Lee Reuben won her category.
At the nationals in Auckland during the Easter weekend, Colman-Savage finished fourth and so did Troup for his 40-49 age-group grade.
Their youngest member, Millie Waite, 6, was third.
Triple J BMX's oldest member, John Smith, 50, didn't compete but was at the nationals in his capacity as one of the team "principals" who manage the team.
However, Troup says Triple J BMX is the platform for launching their members to higher echelons of competing around the world.
"We're hoping to send some lucky teamer across to Australia and, hopefully, to the World Champs in the United States next year."
Consequently raising funds to meet the costs of travel, accommodation and entry fees.
Today the team will have a "doughraiser" at Hastings Dominos where $1 from every pizza sold between 4pm to 7pm will go towards helping fund their Aussie trip over the New Year holidays.
"We will have 4 to 5 team members there to meet and greet customers," he says.
Colman-Savage knows all about the fiscal injection that propelled her to the global stage.
"In Australia I had sponsors who helped with travelling and buying bike parts," she says, revealing she was born in Auckland but emigrated to Brisbane with parents Mandy Colman and George Savage as well as elder brother Mason, now 15, when she was 2.
The youngster gravitated towards BMX while watching Mason compete and later tried to emulate him.
"I was into competitive racing when I was 5 but before that I was just having fun on any kind of bike."
Colman-Savage went on to become an Australian national champion two times - as a 9-year-old in Mt Gambia and the following year in Brisbane.
While cycling generally offers the competitive element, she found traction with the skills required to do the airborne routines on the ramp and meandering tracks of the BMX stage.
"It's an individual sport. It's not about teamwork but individual goals."
It was her first Aussie national crown that fuelled her desire to achieve on a global stage.
For the Colman-Savages BMX has become a family affair with her other siblings, Thomas, 10, and 9-year-old Renae also finding a comfortable perch in the BMX saddle.
"Mum and Dad have helped us a lot, too," she says harbouring Olympic dreams.
Growing up she was never short of elite BMX riders to look up to.
"Sarah Walker was one of my idols," says Colman-Savage who also found inspiration in Australians.
"Caroline Buchanan was big in Australia at the time and Sam Willoughby," she says of Buchanan, 25, of Canberra, who also is into mountainbiking, and the 24-year-old male rider from South Australia who carries the label of "the BMX bandit" and was a silver medallist at the 2012 London Games.
