John Henry Days 2010
John Henry Days is BACK and badder than ever! For 2010 we're working hard to make it the craziest, most fun John Henry Days in 18 years and from April 29th to May 2nd things are looking good.
This year we'll have all the usual awesomeness plus some extra thrills. You can expect what's happened in the past - amazing deals, delicious food, pros and industry reps in abundance, and stunning displays of bicycle prowess - plus some even cooler features like live bands, legendary rider Brett Tippie as MC, and your chance to win $1,000 cash brought to you by Specialized!
The enormous street festival and Backyard Jam will be going full bore on Saturday, May 1st. With a wicked dirt jump contest and some of the best pros out to compete, a panel of bike celebrities as judges, tents and displays from all the latest brands, a delicious barbecue, and a live local band, this is a year not to be missed!
New to this year we also have the John Henry Wildcard Contest brought to you by Specialized: your chance to win $1,000 cash! Riders can upload a video of themselves dirt jumping and riding to the John Henry Bikes fan page on Facebook. The two videos that get the most "likes" will win a wild card slot in the John Henry Backyard Jam, compete with the big shots in front of a celebrity panel of judges, and be a contender for one thousand dollars. The more people a rider invites to the page the better their chances of winning!
Contests, amazing sales, scrumptious food, spectacular bike riding - what more could one ask for? April 29th to May 2nd is the best weekend you can get for grabbing great deals, hanging with awesome people, and having an absolute blast. We'll see you there! Live to ride.

Your Chance to win $1,000!!
Yo dirt jump crowd - wanna earn $1,000?!?
John Henry Bikes is STOKED to announce your chance to win $1,000 cash! We're gearing up big time for our annual John Henry Days and Backyard Jam on May 1st. We'll be closing off the road, wheeling in the dump trucks, and throwing down a wicked jump jam but this year with a twist - YOU could compete for a whopping one thousand dollars!
"How can I win a king's ransom," you ask? It's easy - become a fan of John Henry Bikes on Facebook and submit a video of you dirt jumping & out riding. Style, editing, and every other aspect is up to you. All you have to do is upload it to our fan page and you'll be entered to compete in one of two wild card slots with the pros. That's right, you'll be bumping elbows with the likes of Kurt Sorge, Geoff Gulevich, and others to not only impress the celebrity judges and abundant numbers of industry gurus but bring home the big bills put up by Specialized too!
"But how does my video get selected?" Wicked question, young grasshopper. Whatever two vids on our page get the most "likes" will be the ones who score the wild card slot. That means two things: make a wicked vid and you'll have good odds, and the more friends you get to click "like" on your vid the better your odds are at bringing home the bacon on John Henry Days weekend.
So start riding, filming, and editing and you could be killing it on one of the biggest days of the year in front of a massive crowd, taking home tons of props and cash. Live to ride!
Head to the Facebook page and upload your vid here.

April is almost upon us and we couldn't be more excited. Among the many things to celebrate (good weather, longer days, more riding) there is one in particular that we are waiting for with baited breath.
When was the last time you spent all night with an amazing crowd watching movies, having fun, and eating delicious gourmet food for free? Now take all that excitement and energy and put it towards raising money for a noble cause: helping cure Juvenile Diabetes.
This April 22nd - 23rd Collingwood high school is holding the annual North Shore Spinathon, where hundreds form teams of 10 and have an absolute blast. This year there will be prizes, amazing food and beverages, and a phenomenal atmosphere.
Head to Cyclebetes.com to register or email info@johnhenrybikes.com for more information. We'll see you there spinning our pedals, raising money for charity, and having the time of our lives.
