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.

Back home from the land of asia!

April 9, 2012

Home at last after another successful trip while filming with freeride entertainment for the movie "where the trail ends" We went back to the Gobi desert once again because yes it really is that good. There is nowhere in the world where you can find mountains as high as 2500 ft made from mainly dirt, its a smorgasborg of endless pow descents. Dropping into a 1500ft chute and carving dirt like your on skis is by far one of the sickest feelings ever, I highly recommend it to everyone, if you ever find yourself in china. lol The trip was a huge success we shot everyday with the exception of a few dusty days since we were in between the taklimakan desert and the gobi desert, the winds sweep up some nasty dust storms. I was pretty stoked to go there with a good idea of what was possible since it was my 3rd trip there we went straight to the big airs on top of huge mountain lines and I even got to hit a 30 by 30 road gap that I built last time I was there and got winded out. The rest of the boys rode really well too, Sorge killed it and flipped into a big ass chute and zink FT'd a super technical 360 drop and a big'ol step down flip and doerfling was sending big mountain lines as usual.

So if you big mountain fans were craving a movie well this is it we are bringing the big mountain experience back and we will be taking you across the globe.

So stay tuned on my next adventure to nepal which will be on two weeks, which I hope I can kick this narsty cold I caught.

Thats all for now.
