John Henry Days is back again and this year the buzz is bigger than ever. A four day sale to kick off the season, an industry expo, the Camp of Champions air bag on site, and the John Henry Pro Jump Jam as the signature weekend event. To top it off the Jump Jam will be filmed live by FMG Sports and then produced into a TV broadcast so the place is going to be rocking. If you can't make the show then check in online to see the live webcast to see some of today's top pros competing at John Henry Days. More details here.

A bike party showcasing today’s top talent and tomorrow's future stars. Following in the footsteps of riders like Darren Berrecloth, Wade Simmons, Dave Watson, Andrew Shandro, Phil Sundbaum, Cam McCaul, Jay Hoots, Thomas Vanderham, our riders are prepared to take the Jump Jam to the next level.

This year, in partnership with Whistler’s Camp of Champions, we bring a pro jump contest that will feature some of today’s elite bike riders. Kurt Sorge, Geoff Gulevich, Jordie Lunn, Sam Dueck, Mitch Chubey, Noah Brosseau, Jarrett Moore, Scott Wink Grant, the Meyer brothers and more will contest a massive jam that will light up the North Shore.

The COC roll in at the 2011 John Henry days.

Perimeter Drainage will truck in over ten dumptrucks of dirt, CoC will bus in massive launch ramps from Whistler and bring out the 90ft air bag to complete the run transforming the street into a dream run for our pro athletes.

To top off the 20th Anniversary Jam we are setting the stage for these pros to show the world their talent. In partnership with FOY Media Group and Pinkbike.com the Jam will be livestreamed through pinkbike, MC’d by the illustrious Brett Tippie and pro machine Eric Lawrenuk, and then taken to a fully edited show on TV. Seven cameras, including a remote helicopter and linked GoPros will capture every bit of the competitors personalities and talent. The John Henry Jump Jam is going big.

All around the Jam will be some of today’s leading edge companies showcasing their product, autograph sessions with the riders, education booths, demo bikes and fun activities for kids. John Henry Days is back…and back with a bang.

 Runin needs to be longer/steeper and middle jump needs to be bigger, the riders look like they're not getting any sort of good speed for that final jump (not the crash pad thing). Anyone else agree or am I talking shit?
