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.

Had a good day of practice yesterday

August 13, 2010

Had a good day of practice yesterday, shortly followed by the best trick contest. I did a couple of good tricks in round one which was good since i wanted some practice.

Watts took the first win with a flip double whip. Then we moved on to the last step down drop, everyone was either tailwhipping or flipping it so I decided I was gonna be the ginuea pig once again and spun the drop.

On my first 360 I was very surprised how good it spun so I was kinda like oh man its on like donkey kong. So I worked up the balls to do a switch 360 on it and it was a zesty one but I pulled it so I decided to throw a switch 360 lookback and man it felt good.

I stalled it out so long that I actually had time to focus on the lip, then snapped it around at the last second. boooyah 3500 in the pocket which is rad since im broke cuz I'm building a custom home at the moment.

wish me luck today in practice and wish me luck tomorrow in the big show.
