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.

Second place was where I ended up

July 5, 2010

Second place was where I ended up for the day after a muddy morning. So the seating runs went down on saturday and after the first run I was in first and it started to downpour severely before we could do the second. So come sunday morn we rode the very muddy course which was extremely difficult at times. and we managed to get one run in before it started to rain again.

Everyone was scared to hit the big drop that was a 35 foot plumb dropper, brandon was the first to go so he hit it first and then a couple others did as well.

By the time my run was up the wind started howling which is pretty scary doing a drop that size in the wind. So I just tried not to think about it and dropped and had a good run the only part that i messed up on was I no footed can canned the last drop and since my feet were so slick with the mud i blew my pedals but managed to get them back on to hit the last jump.

Brandon had a clean run and took the win and i got second with Zink in 3rd.

stay tuned for the video from this week in europe by freeride entertainment
