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.

2010 Product Launch, Snowbird, Utah

June 29, 2009

Its a beauty monday morning here in snowbird utah, where me and matt hunter are hanging out at the specialized press launch where we get to unveil all of the 2010 bikes.

yesterday was rad we presented all the new line of bikes which I can tell you is the best line of bikes on the market, all the way to the price point bikes to the high end bikes.

My favorite addition to the lineup would have to be the carbon enduro, it climbs like a xc bike then descends like a sx trail best of both worlds my friends.

After the presentation we got suited on whatever bike we wanted and went for a xc ride. Me and Matt hunter both rode the stumpjumper 26'' and the stumpjumper 29" it was the first time I tried the 29" inch bike and me and matt both agree that its a must try, the climbing ability of this bike is amazing I loved the way this bike rode.

We ended the day with a long dh trail that meandered down a valley with a creek rolling beside the whole way, it was a combination of techy rock sections and buff singetrack. The day ended with a rad dinner in this garden like estate restaurant.

thats all folks till the next time.

Stats for Darren Berrecloth are coming soon.
