With the approval of Hawes 2.0 there is much work to be done! We were grateful for the opportunity to partner with to put the finishing touches on Bush Lite East Extension and the Phon loop. We had 25 Scorpion MTB riders, parents and coaches come out and earn their trail builder sticker plus a great crew of HTA trail leads to work alongside us and show us the ropes. Hard work is good work! Thanks for the opportunity to make an impact on the community we love so much.

🎓🦂 Senior Spotlight: Colin Gibbs 🦂🎓
Since joining Scorpion MTB, Colin has grown into a fast, confident, and determined rider. He took on the incredibly competitive JV2 division, racing in both the AZ NICA and ACA race seasons while continually pushing himself to improve.
Beyond racing with the team, Colin has proven himself to be quite the endurance athlete, recently tackling the legendary Whiskey Off-Road in Prescott. He’s also a decorated Scout and a solid 10/10 close-up photographer 😉📸
We’ve truly loved having Colin as part of the Scorpion family over the past few years and are so proud of the rider and person he’s become. Wishing him all the best in the adventures and opportunities ahead! 🦂🚵
We asked Colin:
⭐️ Favorite post ride snack: jolly ranchers
⭐️ Most memorable race: 2025 Tuscon race where I got 29th cuz I got Lincoln to drink pickle juice cuz he lost a bet
⭐️ Dream Bike Destination:Whistler bike park
⭐️ What are you most looking forward to post graduation: Racing for ASU, and going into college

Congratulations to the Spring 2026 X-Duro finishers!
This challenge was not an easy one! There was a close battle in the high school boys category with Parker taking the win by 20 seconds! Billy and Bodie battled it out in the middle school boys category with Billy squeaking by with a 14 second win! The coaches class was one to watch with John and Kodi fighting hard for the KOM. With less than a minute between them, John took the crown! Coach Cheryl thought she had QOM in the bag but on the last day of the challenge, Reef Sandpaper laid down a heater, earning the crown! All participants will get a limited edition holographic sticker from Single Track Hats. We have a few more prizes on the way that will be raffled for the winners, those details are coming soon.

No way we were missing the chance to spotlight our fierce crew of Lady Scorpions on International Women’s Mountain Bike Day! 🦂💪
These riders continue to push limits, inspire the next generation, and prove that the future of mountain biking is fearless. From the climbs to the finish lines, they’re helping grow the sport and paving the way for more girls to ride, race, and lead.
Here’s to strong legs, confident lines, and the incredible women shaping the MTB community — today and every day. 🚵‍♀️🔥

🚵‍♂️ Senior Spotlight – Stone Porter 🦂
Stone joined the Scorpions as a sophomore, balancing life as both a track athlete and a brand-new mountain biker. It has been incredible watching him take on this sport, rapidly progressing through the ranks and finishing his senior year as a Varsity racer.
Beyond his speed and endurance, Stone has developed into an exceptionally skilled technical rider and accomplished Enduro racer, competing in both the YES/BME and MBAA series.
But even more impressive than his athletic ability is the person he is. Stone has been an outstanding teammate, competitor, and part of our team family. We’ve loved having you on the Scorpions and can’t wait to see where life takes you next. 🦂🔥
We asked Stone:
⭐️Best after ride snack: Rice crispy treats
⭐️Most memorable race: 2025 Sunrise Enduro
⭐️Dream biking destination: Whistler or any EDR course in Europe
⭐️What are you most looking forward to post graduation: College at NAU

🦂🦂 Scorpion Fest 🦂🦂
Today we wrapped up our Fall 2025 / Spring 2026 XC race season with a day full of fun and celebration. Riders and coaches hit the trails together, sessioned some jumps, and battled it out in a (very) competitive silly relay race.
Our parents absolutely delivered with incredible food, and Coach Brian took time to recognize our athletes for an amazing season.
Huge thank you to our coaches and parents—this team wouldn’t be possible without your support. And to our athletes: your commitment, effort, and attitude are what make this all so special.
Enjoy some well-earned downtime… we’ll see you soon for the Fall race series! 🦂🚵‍♂️

Last weekend, the Scorpions took on the State Championship in Payson—and what a weekend it was. The town built an incredible race loop, and our team loved every minute of it.
From personal bests to big goals achieved (and even bringing home some hardware 🥇🥈🥉), this season has been nothing short of amazing. Proud of every single rider who showed up, put in the work, and made it one to remember.

We asked Gunnar:

Senior Spotlight: Emily Van Dusen
Emily first caught our attention as a Varsity racer in the AZ NICA league and MBAA series. We knew she was fast ⚡️, but it didn’t take long to discover she is also incredibly talented and fearless as she took on her very first Enduro season 🚵‍♀️🔥
Emily has been such a joy to get to know and ride with, and we are so stoked she chose to race with the Scorpion Enduro team 🦂💙🧡
And when she’s not charging down the trails, she’s also an accomplished dancer 💃✨ Like we said… this girl is seriously talented! We asked Emily:
⭐️Best after ride snack: a cold soda 🥤
⭐️Most memorable race: 24 HOP
⭐️Dream biking destination: Whistler 🏔️
⭐️What are you most looking forward to post graduation? College at BYU
