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 to the real world again....

June 11, 2009

back to the real world again well my world that is. I spent the last 2 and a half weeks backpacking in ecuador and peru with 2 hometown buds. Good times I tell ya, we started in ecuador and went to the jungle fora few days, we saw all sorts of weird and crazy animals on our jungle trek. I caught some piranha's which I thought was pretty cool. I even swam in piranha infested waters, pretty creepy I tell ya.

After our jungle tour we headed to the coast and got a little r&r in this crazy little surf town called Montanita. When we were one with the coast we headed south to Lima Peru, the town

is pretty unsafe for the most part so we only stayed a night before heading to Cuzco.

Once we were in Cuzco we booked our machu picchu hike and set off on a four day trek, which started with a 2 hour descent on a mountain bike down a scenic valley.

Then we hiked for 3 more days on and off the Inca trail until we reached Machu picchu where we lucked out and had clear sunny skies. The ancient town itself was amazing and I really was amazed at how people could live to become comfortable living on the edge of a cliff yikes.

Now I am in the BC interior filming my segment for new world disorder 10. The weather is supposed to be nice so we should get some good stuff done. My plan here is to ride some big mountain lines and add a little flare to the lines by jumping into the chutes and shredding back and forth down the line.

Wish me luck and stay tuned
