Demo 8

My name is Darren Berrecloth and i live in a small town called Qualicum Beach

I originally started riding bikes when i was a kid well what am I kidding everyone rode bikes when they were kids because we had no cars. The first real bike i had was a specialized rockhopper hard tail, and it didnt take me very long to destroy it, before i knew it the wheels

were bent the bars were bent and i did not have enough money to keep fixing it.

So my local bike shop convinced me to buy a bmx if I wanted to keep doing jumps So I did then I started racing and one thing led to another and here i am.

A professional freerider for specialized, travelling the planet searching for the sickest terrain and riding comps. I am currently tavelling a ton and am super excited to have the opportunities to explore the unkown and push my own limits everyday. I keep pinching myself to make sure its not a dream but yes it is reality and yes I do ride for the best bike company in the business.

hobbies; Snowboarding, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, skiing, bmxing, motoxing, quading, wakeboarding, and building trails and stunts.

wow that was one of the hottest days

June 11, 2010

wow that was one of the hottest days I've ever experienced. I felt like like my brain was melting underneath the gobi deserts blazing rays, trying to duck into a hole or canyon in between shots

was the best way to get out of the sun but it still was unsuccessful since I ended up with light heat stroke after hiking and filming all day in 45 degree weather.

We ended up having another stellar day even with the heat, we all got rad shots and I ended up spraying dustins 50,000 dollar camera with dust and rocks when i took a high speed turn in front of him. Sorry buds he didnt need that lens filter anyways? lol!
