Introducing "Blue Steel"

- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- Blue Steel is a new jump trail on Galbraith Mountain in Bellingham, WA. It's fully public and open to ride anytime, by any one who feels they have the skills. It was quite the journey to create this line, and. we couldn't have done it without all the pieces falling into place perfectly. With the hard work of Nico Vink, Transition employees and many others, we present you with this beautifully crafted jump line, for all the world to enjoy.
We began construction on this line in December of 2019, with Nico spending seven days straight working in the excavator along side Lars Sternberg, Skye Schillhammer, Kyle Young and the rest of Transition Bikes. We managed to finish the initial dirt work just before one of the wettest and longest winters we can remember. Over the next few months the anticipation to ride the line grew, as we watched heavy rain and snow keep the line unrideable. As we moved into spring, the line required almost two months of handwork to fix the winter damage, as well as some more machine work to rebuild landings that had crumbled. By April, we had tires on the line, and what a great feeling that was! We had just endured months of riding by them and dreaming of riding off these massive piles of dirt. Nico absolutely nailed it with the build, and we planned to host a massive Party in the Woods with Nico and our other freeride athletes all attending…but as we all know, the world changed drastically this spring and all plans have been on hold. In response to the global pandemic, we didn’t find it responsible to open this line right away. The risks of injury, and the crowds this line will draw were not safe during this time. But the wait is now over, and we couldn’t be more stoked to drop the chain and open the line! Just please do so responsibly.
We have many people to thank, but we couldn’t have done this without the support of the WMBC, Janicki Industries and the City of Bellingham for granting access to build on our local hill, Galbraith. We, and the biking community as a whole, thank you!

What a jump line! I won't be hitting these but I am honored to live in Bellingham.
Weird, Snow summit just made a jump trail called blue steel too!
Lol wouldn't call it much of a jump trail compared to this. But still cool we got another trail at the local lift spot.
That’s what I came here thinking it was about 😂

Thank you Nico!! Thank you Transition! and everyone else for making this happen. So incredibly rad!!
I honestly thought this was gonna be a new bike, but instead, Transition gives back to the community. Love it!
I was already planning a Bellingham trip for next summer! To everyone at Transition Bikes, Thank you. This is dope.
amazing line! Nico for president :)
This is so damn rad! Stoked to see this line ridden.
Well done! Thanks for adding a wonderful new trail that will no doubt be one of the top jump lines in the whole PNW.
Companies giving back to trails like this is possibly one of the best things they could do for their own sport. Bike in kids hands, good trails, skilled design and community help like this will only keep improving everything for us all to live and love this sport.
Ben Stiller - he's the owner of true "Blue Steel" ;)
Oh-my God!!!!! =D Just watched 1st Audi 9s runs and now this!!! Mind blown. Bless you all that is some gift. Good times ahead
One day, just one day, I'll send it. Mark my word.
Lars is the man. Such a great guy.
Just wish my riding was at that level. Very cool... guys!

Transition Bikes I saw that at the very end. As a pilot, I can attest to the fact that flying this well and tracking a moving target is extremely difficult.

Wow, haven’t been to the north side in a while, is that near SSt? Guess I’ll just have to check it out!
It is just on the other side of the road from the cabin trail climb to sst

You should make a crabapple type line with 50-60foot booter tables
PLEASE make a 160/170mm 29er
Yay Skye!
Zoolander is proud of you Guys!!! hahaha So raaad!!!
What’re you guys planning on now?? I just saw nico on Galbraith yesterday
..thing is there's room for more..
too bad i can’t leave home in vancouver and cross the border to ride these beauties
How big are the gaps on these jumps? 30 feet? 40? 50?
I'm trying to decide whether I should make the drive or just stick with the 20-30 footers on my local trails, since that's about where my comfort zone ends.
Sick Track! Can anyone name the song @3:07?
yeyeyyeyeyey something canada style in washington!!!!!!
Whoah sweet! Let me know if you want a filmer I live in town and shred FPV, as well as have an Inspire 2 with X5S =]
