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.

Neehow from china!

March 22, 2012

Neehow from china! Yeup I am back to the gobi once again cuz its really that good.  We are here filming for "Where the trail ends" The riders on this trip are Kurt sorge James doerfling and Cam Zink, and its gonna be a gooder. Its day two and we already have some savagely fun and rowdy lines teed up.  Myself I have this one line that i saw the last time i was here but was scared to even walk it and yah for good reason, it is a ledge that i will shred for a good 500 feet of vertical along the top of a 300 foot cliff all on a sidehill slope. Then there is a crux move that is way hairy and if I slip a tire I'm dead so I'm still unsure if I'm gonna go for it.  so wish me luck eh
