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.

So I've been to heaven and back

March 22, 2011

So I've been to heaven and back! we just got home from one of the sickest trips I've ever had. We took off in my boat to the far reaches of vancouver island in search of surf and fish.

The weather was awesome, it was sunny and about 10 celsius. When we first got to the surf spot and nothing was really happening. We ended anchoring the boat a little ways off one of the breaks and started to paddle around in between screams from my girlfriend. Se didn't like mr sea lion coming to say hi lol! We surfed that break for a bit and it was ok so we decided to have a walk down the beach and when we rounded the corner I couldn't believe my eyes. It was like I was in Indonesia but without the heat. There was a absolutely perfect right hander going off on the reef break. We surfed it until my arms were dead. I was so burned out it was hard to paddle back to my boat which was anchored offshore. After that we ended up hitting the fishing hole which produced some pretty good bottom fish.

Now its back to reality where i have to go empty my shop at my old house... not fun got soo much stuff in there lol.
