JMBR participants are unique and diverse, and many are quite the characters! And you’ll also be amazed by the quality of their bikes. Upon entering the park, you might see a cool Hugger Orange ’60s Hodaka-powered Bonanza CR500 Chopper displayed next to a modern, custom 2022 Steady Garage–built Honda Grom or Monkey! If you take another step, you may spot a ’72 Honda CT70 decked out in chrome perched against an L.A. street bike that hasn’t been washed in decades. It’s all good at JMBR!
JMBR activities include enjoying the bikes on display at the Show & Shine, visiting the Swap Meet area for those hard-to-find minibike parts, and window-shopping (or buying!) a minibike at the Bike Corral (get there early for the best deals). And you can’t miss the action and excitement at the Dyno Challenge at the top of the hill!
During JMBR, iHeart radio personality/automotive race car driver/DJ Clarence Barnes will give away products and play some great tunes. He will also host the esteemed JMBR Hall of Fame induction. And the JMBR Cackle Fest, held at noon so we can let the world hear our tiny wonders loud and clear! It may not be riding, but it sure is fun to experience!

Judging categories are updated annually to include the latest trends and hottest segments of the minibike and minimoto market. Each category type is led by a member of the JMBR Judging Team deemed most knowledgeable and unbiased to head up that category. Judges will be on hand to view each bike in person and will submit their Top choice.

Event Information
Cackle Fest will be on at 12 noon, so we can let the world hear our tiny wonders loud and clear! I know it’s not riding, but it sure is fun anyways!
Food Trucks will be in attendance, and you can bring your own snacks too. There is no BBQ allowed, yet there are other areas of the park where you can. We will also be selling water on site for the Scleroderma Foundation, where donations can be made. We also invite you to use DoorDash or GrubHub to the Park entrance area.
Participant Parking is limited and based on a First Come; First Served basis. Spectator Parking is free, yet only in identified areas of the park. The local Park Police will write tickets if you park illegally, and they will tow you too. Come early. Come as a group. That will help.
We are seeking JMBR Volunteers who can help with event set up, tear down, parking, and on-site assistance. Contact us if you are interested.
JMBR is a one-day event that is FREE to Spectators! It is held at CV Park in beautiful La Crescenta, CA. If you haven’t attended a previous JMBR, you can check it out on Google or Google Earth, and the address is 3901 Dunsmore Ave, Glendale, CA 91214.
Tell a friend to attend the JMBR event. You will be glad you did, and so will we!
