ABOUT MTB VETS
WHY WE RIDE
MTB Vets exists exclusively for our veterans. It’s an honor and privilege to provide our veterans an outlet to seek health, happiness, and purpose through a mountain biking community of comrades. We ride – we thrive!
WHO WE ARE
We are veterans who understand the potential challenges of transitioning into and thriving within the civilian community – the lack of purpose, the flashbacks to dark days and memories of good days, the longing for brotherhood camaraderie, and the loss of identity. When you join the military, you join a big family; when you leave the military, it may feel like you’ve left your family ... which is uncomfortable and unnerving.
We understand because we’ve been there.
We want to help because we’ve lost brothers to the darkness of those challenges.
We know we can make a difference.
As proud veterans and enthusiastic mountain bikers, we firmly believe in ‘trail therapy’. The trail challenges the body, stimulates the mind, and soothes the soul … and your riding companions become family. You belong.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
To reach and provide for as many veterans as possible, we need your help!! We graciously accept your donations of money, equipment, and/or time. Your donations help us provide not only our services, but also full equipment for riders in need.
Many thanks to our recent awesome contributors – we appreciate you!

WE GIVE BACK TO OUR LOCAL PARK
Fresh Bikes has helped raise and donated thousands of dollars over the years for Big Creek Park.
We have achieved this through a variety of ways. A source of a lot of pride is the creation and execution of our cause marketing event we partnered with RAMBO to create the super successful Big Creek Quick Six Enduro!!
It has been RAMBO’s most successful event and fundraiser that they have ever put on. It is loved by the mountain bike community and the race usually sells out in a matter of days when registration opens. 100% of the proceeds go back to the park and trails.
Big Creek Quick Six Enduro - Founding Partner and Sponsor of Georgia’s First Enduro Race
In 2011, Fresh Bikes helped build the Big Creek Pump Tracks by organizing support from the Virgil P. Warren Foundation for the initial $10,000 to build the Big Creek Pump Tracks.
We also secured 20+ truck loads of good clay dirt to build the pump tracks that the local community enjoys to this day.
THE STORY
Fresh Bikes started in 2008 when Shawn returned from Colorado and his time with Yeti Cycles.
Shawn oversaw final quality control before bikes shipped from Colorado to shops across the globe.
Starting small - Fresh Bike Service, Inc. began as a mobile bike service and demo operation out of Shawn’s truck.
Setting up at local trail heads and offering free services at those trails Shawn was able to start spreading the word. Handing out business cards and booking appointments, offering neutral support at the Dirty Spokes and Chain Buster Racing XC Series, and helping support the
Cartersville DH Races.
Fresh Bikes operated as a mobile business until 2011 when we were able to open our brick and mortar location in Roswell next to Big Creek Park Mountain Bike Trails.
We love our location to the park and our ability to host rides and demo bikes. We love Big Creek Park and do what we can to support the park.
THE FRESH CREW
Shawn Brunner
Shawn Brunner is the owner of Fresh Bike Service, Inc. and handles the day-to-day operations and management. With over 18 years in the bike industry, Shawn has worked as an Assistant Operations Manager at Yeti Cycles – one of the top bike manufacturers in the world.
He has published articles in cycling magazines and wrote several owners’ manuals for Yeti Cycles. He has produced, directed, and starred in an instructional bicycle maintenance and repair DVD, “WRENCHED”.
He has also served as neutral support at the Dirty Spokes and Chain Buster Endurance Series, and served two years on the Board of Directors for RAMBO-SORBA.
Most recently, Shawn was recognized and nominated for Roswell’s 10U40, which honor’s Roswell’s most exceptional young business leaders.
Bill Langham
Retired Army First Sergeant Bill Langham served more than 22 years in the US Army, as an Airborne Ranger, Trainer, Mentor and Leader. Throughout his highly decorated career as a Non-Commissioned Officer, he conducted combat operations during Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
Upon retirement, Bill transitioned to the private sector. He served and led High Threat Dignitary Protection Security (HTP) teams for a leading provider of mission support and integrated security services to government agencies and multinational corporations in high risk and complex environments across the globe. Returning stateside, Bill focused on delivering training and keynote addresses on leadership development, combining leadership principles with practical execution.
However, with transitioning into the civilian community, Bill found his identity slipping and his heart breaking with the loss of military friends by suicide. Mountain biking became his therapy and the mountain biking community his brotherhood.
Experiencing ‘trail therapy’ firsthand, Bill knows it can and will help other veterans and thus, founded MTB Vets. His lifelong commitment to serving our great country continues in this new journey with MTB Vets.
