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.

It was a quick flight to salt lake city

July 4, 2009

It was a quick flight to salt lake city and a swift shuttle up to the specialized press launch for the 2010 bikes.

The weather was epic and the crew from specialized put on a great show, showing off there 2010 lineup in style. I just want to say that this lineup of bikes is the nicest and sexiest you will see this year, possibly even a few years. My favorite out of the lineup was the enduro series, this bike will climb up anything with ease and descend with a prowess that would make alot of 7 inch bikes envious. Coming in at 30 pounds you cant just beat it for a all mountain. The sx trail is still my go to bike and the new 8 is a treat to corner with hills specific geometry.

I must say that i have ridden alot of trais in my day and this trail that we did near park city was and is in my top 3 of all time, it started with a nice 1200 foot climb puker hill to be exact, then once at the top we were delighted with the views a along the gently rolling ridgetop which rolled on for about 4 miles then descended through the alpen trees about 10 miles of the buffest smoothest singletrack ive ridden. It was so fun my mouth hurt from smiling for so long, me and

matt hunter agree that it was one of the sickest trails we ever rode.

Stats for Darren Berrecloth are coming soon.
