Darren Berrecloth

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 its been a eventful few weeks

July 28, 2011

So its been a eventful few weeks for me, I've gotten sick got better got sick again, been rained out of building my course, and rode crankwerx at half gas due to just not feeling myself on the bike yet.

Crankwerx was fun but I could have done without being sick still, I also hadnt ridden my bike enough yet so I wasnt feeling all that confident so I just figured I should try and put on a good show rather than push it.

Now I am back on vancouver island building my course up on mt washington, which by the way is shaping up to be a freakin masterpiece. the landings are around 20 feet tall. The course will be very flowwy and after the brakefest at crankwerx my main goal is to make the course so there is no braking before jumps.

Other than that I'm still feeling ill and I need to ride my bike but duty calls and I got a course to finish.

enjoy the pics.
