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.

I am back in cali

January 17, 2012

Yo there! I am back in cali for another road trip. I jumped in gullevich's truck with my buddy Baxter redfern and headed south to get outta the snow and for me its really to just get on my bike a bunch and ride every day.

The trip started out kinda rocky when we got hassled at the border for no reason then the dog sniffs out a bottle of cough syrup that turned into a big hassle cuz I forgot it was in there lol.
But after two hours they let us on in and the drive was actually snowy till we hit california.

Now I'm at Cam Mccauls new castle, writing this email after a good day of shredding the post office and ericks place.

Other than that back home before this trip I was riding a little bit but definitely cold up there so I'm pretty pumped to get on the riding program again since I have alot of filming to do in the next coming months for where the trail ends.

After aptos were headed to woodward.
