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.

Rampage is gonna be siiiiick

September 30, 2010

Rampage is gonna be siiiiick! The lines people are building are rad and the amount of athletes here is crazy, there is 30 people doing the pre qualifier and another 10 or so pre qualified.

Myself and my dig crew which consists of my friend mike and a spectator dude named ryan have been building like crazy we've put 2 full days of digging, picking and raking to get my line dialled in. and it's almost done. I have one last jump at the bottom to build. My line I chose was pretty much the same as the previous year but since I have the time to finish building it. I also changed it a bit with a bit of a different line at the top and I made the big drop a hip to make it different.

I finally chose what bike I'm riding after getting both my bikes suspension tuned, I rode a sick trail on my SX and the suspension is more than capable to handle the hits but the steering angle is a little too steep for when it gets really rowdy, Where the demo shines in the same situation. So for now I'm sticking with the demo 8. Lets hope I can open my hands tomorrow since they are so sore from picking through rock all day for the past few.............

stay tuned
