Vegas Vipers Composite MTB Race Team

07/12/2026

The Vegas Vipers are about so much more than racing. Our mission is to build a culture of fun, inclusion, and adventure that gets kids on bikes and helps create lifelong cyclists.
Over the years, we’ve been blessed with the support of several outstanding local bike shops. One of those was Southwest Bikes, who proudly sponsored our team for several years.
Recently, Gene from reached out with some incredible news. His dad, Paul, had won a Trek Supercaliber through a NICA drawing and wanted to donate it to a Viper athlete. We were honored that they thought of our team, and after our coaching staff met, the decision was unanimous.
Congratulations, Edwin Stewart!
Edwin joined the Vipers just two seasons ago with little mountain biking experience, learning to ride on a loaner bike from the . As his skills quickly progressed, he moved onto a used trail bike that allowed him to continue growing as a rider.
Since then, Edwin has earned four podium finishes, gets up at 4:00 a.m. four days a week to train, and turned his passion into a paid job at our current sponsor, , our current team sponsor, after first joining the shop as an intern. His work ethic, humility, and dedication embody everything we hope to inspire in our athletes.
A heartfelt thank you to Paul for such an incredibly generous gift, and to Gene and everyone at Southwest Bikes for making sure Edwin rolled out with pedals, bottle cages, and other essentials to get him started right.
Congratulations again, Edwin! We can’t wait to see what you accomplish aboard your new Trek Supercaliber.
Race season is only a few months away, so it’s time to get those miles in. If you know a young person looking for adventure, confidence, and lifelong friendships, send us a message—we’d love to show you what the Vegas Vipers are all about.

What an awesome season it has been. It’s hard to believe it’s already come to a close. From long rides and race days to all the laughs, challenges, and memories made along the way, this season was something special.

We wrapped it all up with great company, some incredible BBQ from and the chance to celebrate our riders with some well-deserved awards. More important than the results, we watched these athletes grow as riders, teammates, and people. We’re proud of every single one of our Vipers and grateful for all the parents, coaches, sponsors, and supporters who made this season possible. Already looking forward to next year.

Days like this are hard to beat. Perfect weather, tacos that were fire, trails running great, keeping us hydrated, and an awesome time hanging with the Wheel D Beasts. This is what the MTB community is all about

Life is not easy. Life is not comfortable. It is filled with excitement, joy, adversity, and triumph. Mountain biking is a great way to prepare youth for the challenges of life. They learn self reliance and learn to overcome obstacles both physical and mental. We could focus on the flat tire and be discouraged by the challenge or we could take a moment to look around and hear the peaceful calm and admire the view that people who chose the easier path will never get to see. We are grateful to be able to provide these experiences and watch these kids earn the rewards that come from choosing the harder path.

Race #1 of the season is officially in the books.

We could not be more proud of these athletes. They showed up prepared, pushed through the miles, and raced with heart. The effort was real — and the results reflected it.

None of this happens without the people behind the scenes.

Thank you to our parents, coaches, and sponsors who make this opportunity possible week after week. You are the engine that drives this team.

Bootleg Canyon is up next.
Join us next Saturday and come cheer on the Vegas Vipers as we line up for Race #2.

Let’s go. 💚🐍
