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.

Well well well

June 22, 2010

Well well well, that was one heck of a trip to china!

The most physically demanding trip I have been on, the heat was intense. But anyhow I made it home and the weather here on the island has been amazing sunny and half the temp of the gobi lol! So the day

I got home i decided to get on my dirt jump bike and get ready for the next comp, but I ate crap on a 360 whip and tweaked my sore arm again, which I have no idea how i injured it in the first place.

I got to china and rode the first day and my muscle under my bicept, was super sore and i couldnt even hold onto the bars. Which was stupid since I think it was from sleeping on it wrong. Or maybe it was that dumb old guy on the plane who kept elbowing me in that arm the whole

flight over?

So yah tweaked arm again so me my girl and 2 friends went fishing to a deadly spot on the west coast called hot springs cove. There we spent 2 days catching a ton of fish and relaxing.
