Held at Bega's Harris Park earlier this month, older brother Koby, opened his 12-14 years 85cc division with victory in race one, by clocking a seven-lap time of 12.30.606 - close to nine seconds quicker than his closest rival Kayd Kingston.
Koby then stepped up and competed in the 13-16 years 125cc class.
The 14-year-old came third in the 11-lap opener 18:34.286, before backing it up with a fourth and a fifth - to finish fourth overall in the division, to help him qualify for the King of MX.
Not to be outdone, Koby's eight-year-old brother Zane finished 12th, eighth and 15th in his three races in the 7-9 years 65cc category.
The boys schedule only gets busier over the coming months, with both competing in the East Coast Series, Victorian state titles and NSW state titles - which will be held in June.
Koby will also step up and contest the newly formed MX3 class at the upcoming rounds of the Australian PRO MX series at Canberra and Maitland.
