On International Women’s Day we give you 🏁The Trailblazer Creed🏁 Our manifesto - our rally cry. Today and everyday we honor Trailblazers past, present and future - especially our North Star Trailblazer, Jessi Combs.
They say if you want to go fast, go alone….and if you want to go far, go together. We say, if you can do both you’ll be UNSTOPPABLE.
Join the movement.
Rock the dots.
Carry the torch.

Jessi left us too soon, but she didn’t leave us without a roadmap. She embodied FEARLESS LEADERSHIP; her vision was stronger than her hesitation. The Jessi Combs Foundation is in service to the next generation of trailblazers, like those featured here, in Jessi’s name.
Thank you to - our scholarship recipients, sponsored racers and friends of the Foundation who’ve gone far above and beyond for Jessi’s mission and continue to embody fearless leadership 💪🏼❤️💪🏼 Lead on gals, keep showing the world what’s possible by being true to you.

Jessi Combs was more than a welder or a racer, she was a trailblazer who carved out space for women in industries where few dared to stand. This re-release of her iconic #JessiTheWelder polka dot welding hood, in collaboration with @lincolnelectric and @thejessicombsfoundation , is more than a tribute, it’s a continuation of her mission - a movement. With every spark struck beneath this helmet, we’re carrying Jessi’s torch forward, into new hands, new hearts, forging a new generation of fearless fabricators.
We’re not just honoring her legacy - we’re living it.
A portion of proceeds from the sale of every Jessi The Welder helmet goes towards The Jessi Combs Foundation scholarship program empowering women in the skilled trades.

We’ve got something really special happening at Babes Ride Out East Coast this year ✨
For the first time, we’ve opened up early arrival, so you can roll in Thursday and settle into camp before the weekend kicks off.
And Thursday night? We’re gathering for a viewing party of @thejessicombs : The Fastest Woman on Earth (now sold out with 150 riders attending) at the theater walking distance from camp. A night to come together, honor a legend, and start the weekend off right. After, we will walk down to Big Eddy’s for a kick off party!
✨ Early Thursday arrival is now open
🗓️ June 4–7, 2026
📍 Narrowsburg, NY
Happy Mother’s Day to all the trailblazing moms out there ❤️ especially Jessi’s mom Nina.
Jessi posted this photo with her mom on Mother’s Day 2016 ❤️ and here’s what she had to say:
“My mom... the woman who will drop everything in the midst of one of my crisis, and be present for the events that will change history; who will offer her suggestions and experience, and leave me alone to figure it out on my own; who will be the first to see my new tattoo while shaking her head, and love me unconditionally at any phase of my life; who will do the same exact thing for all her children, my brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews; who will care for herself last, once we are all happy and healthy. You raised us well, be confident in that... we are proud of you!” -Jessi 2016

We’re proud to support Team 28, Racine Warner, @warner_ineos_grenadier , and Dana Wilke, Co-Founder of @thejessicombsfoundation in the inaugural @triniteroadrally , brought to you by the legendary creators of @rebellerally
Driving the Storyteller Grand Bohemian, this pair will tackle the X-Cross class over 500 miles in 3 days throughout Northern California, including the famous Sonoma Raceway. Valuing roadbook precision and the love for the drive.
This epic adventure starts today! Stay tuned!

Team Profile! Meet @racinewarner & Dana Wilke.
While these two had not prior to competing in Trinitē, they were introduced to each other by their “match-making” partners who thought Racine and Dana would have fun together.
Racine is a mom of four stepping back into competition and rediscovering her own path of growth. A former nurse turned full-time mom, she’s traded hospital shifts for household management (and what she jokes is essentially hostage negotiation training). For her, this rally is about driving some beautiful roads and rubbing shoulders with the amazing women of Trinitē.
Dana is a mission-driven, heart-centered leader who believes in both the journey AND the destination. Dana leads @thejessicombsfoundation , a nonprofit dedicated to educating, inspiring, and empowering the next generation of trailblazing women. Jessi was a close friend and her motorcycle adventure partner, making it especially meaningful for Dana to carry that legacy forward and share it with future generations.
And their ride? A bold one. They’ll be debuting the all-new Storyteller Overland Grand Bohemian, built on a 2026 @ineos_grenadier platform. Not your typical rally vehicle, this micro-camper is a rolling proof of concept, blending off-road capability with just enough livability to go farther and stay out longer.
A first meeting, a fresh build, and a whole lot of possibility!

You may have seen content featuring a fiery red Beast MODE, and today Storyteller Overland and @thejessicombsfoundation are excited to announce a trailblazing partnership. 💪
This collaboration unites two organizations passionate about adventure, innovation, and empowerment; aiming to champion the next generation of women in skilled trades. At the center of the partnership is the “Trailblazer Tour Van,” a symbol of Jessi Combs’ driven spirit to explore, build, and uplift others.
The Trailblazer Van is more than a vehicle; it’s a rolling tribute to Jessi’s adventurous journey. Inspired by her beloved Chevy van she traveled in, the Trailblazer Van has hit the road, serving as a mobile base for outreach, education, and inspiration, for the next generation.
We’ve always believed that adventure is best when it’s shared. Jessi embodied that spirit completely—inspiring the next generation to break barriers and chase their dreams. We’re proud to carry her legacy forward.
