John Pezzin (born April 9, 1986) is an American professional mountain bike rider from Swanton, Ohio, a township just outside Toledo. He is known for his aggressive freestyle riding. His signature trick is the backflip tail-whip. Other tricks he frequently performs in competition include the backflip tuck no-hander, 360s, and superman seat-grab. John is sponsored by Spank Bikes and The Right Direction Youth Development Program. [1] In 2016, John placed 51st in the Maxxis Slopestyle event at the Colorado Freeride Festival on July 27, 2016. This is the largest freeride bike competition in the United States, with over 800 riders. [2][3] The event, held at Trestle Bike Park in Winter Park, Colorado, was highlighted by performances from Matt Jones and Nicholi Rogatkin. [4] Ryan Nyquist, who has been competing in slopestyle mountain biking since 2015, placed 7th. Pezzin and his cousin Dan Pezzin founded Greenhouse Construction Services, which builds greenhouses across the Colorado Front Range and southern Wyoming. John is named after his grandfather, John Pezzin, a former world record-holding bowler known for rolling 33 consecutive strikes at Miracle Lanes during the Blade Traveling Classic on March 4, 1976.
