The Mission
We believe freeride deserves the same level of organized support as traditional mountain biking. By combining global experience with a deep love for our home trails, we’re building the foundation freeride athletes need to grow—not just in the Pacific Northwest, but across the United States.
OUR MAIN FOCUSES
-
Upgrading Existing Spots – improving the quality, safety, and functionality of current jumps and lines.
-
Community Progression – hosting clinics, and events that give younger riders opportunities and the tools they need to progress in freeride.
-
The Creation of Progressive Builds – jump lines, mulch jumps, and features designed to push freeride forward in a safe way.
CUrent Project
Through our efforts and volunteers, the rebuild of Cedar Dust Pro line Began fall 2025.
We can expect to see an updated and revamped version of the line in late spring of 2026, and we cannot wait to share it with the public.

THE TEAM
What makes Hesh different is who’s behind it. Our board is made up of riders and builders who’ve traveled the world, ridden the biggest and best features, and returned home determined to bring that same level of progression to our local communities.
Torsenn Brown
Torsenn Brown, from Hood River, started as a downhill racer before moving into freeride. He’s known for building technical jump lines that blend both styles, bringing a unique vision to the sport. His goal is to turn that creativity into public-access features, giving more riders the chance to progress while building strong fundamentals like brake control and speed management.
Cole Goodnight
Cole Goodnight grew up without access to jumps, spending hours driving each weekend just to ride and progress. He eventually moved to Bellingham for better trail access, but freeride features were still limited. After training at Air Rec Center, he started building his own—creating local mulch jumps, setting up an airbag, and helping shape well-known lines like Cedar Dust and Blue Steel. His goal is to make progression tools more accessible for the next generation of freeriders.
Talus Turk
Talus Turk is a true Bellingham local who started building jumps in his backyard at a young age. Like many riders, he faced a lack of progressive features growing up. Spending winters in Virgin, Utah—home of Red Bull Rampage—he developed his skills shaping freeride lines in the desert. He’s since brought that experience back to Bellingham, helping build and shape progressive features, including work on Cedar Dust.
Ryan Mcnulty
Ryan McNulty grew up in Bend, Oregon, surrounded by a strong freeride and dirt jump scene. A dedicated dirt jump rider, he’s focused on building the best possible features. After moving to Utah and digging nearly every day, he developed a drive to refine and perfect trails. That mindset fuels Hesh’s push for world-class builds—and led to the creation of 17 Palms, giving riders access to jumps designed for real progression.
Our crew’s vision comes to life most fully with Woolley Fest—a one-of-a-kind opportunity to bring some of the world’s best freeride athletes in front of a local crowd, while also giving up-and-coming riders a platform to shine. Woolley Fest is about inspiring the next generation while showcasing some of the biggest jumps on the continent.
