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 on the good old bc ferry heading back home...

August 19, 2009

Back on the good old bc ferry heading back home after some good times had by all in whistler.

I was super pumped on the throw down session from all the boys on saturday. everyone was riding really well and the course was good as well a little small for my liking but good none the less.

My runs went like this, I rolled in for my first run and stomped the switch 360 on the first drop then stomped my superman tailwhip on the first jump and when I landed I must have done something to the chain cuz my chain wouldn't roll through my guide. So I had to stop and kinda try and figure it out and man was I bummed here I was about to stomp my whole first run and my chain twists baaaaaaa.

So I run back up on the landing and manage to get one crank in which was enough speed for the wall then I finished my run and to my surprise I got a decent score I was sitting in 4th or 5th place i believe.

2nd run my plan was to stomp my run clean which wasnt going to get me first place but it would have got me top 5 and then I would have been able to take my 3rd and final run and throw out all of my tricks.

So I roll in with my switch 3 to the superwhip and then into my wallride, nothing onto the giro trailer superman seat grab indian air off the giro trailer, boost the kona wall to one foot table out of the wall.

Then regular 360 off the sram thing to a no footed can off the skinny bonar log and i landed flat off the bonar log so I barely was able to steer my way to the takeoff which sucks cuz i was panning on doing a switch 360 lookback. I couldnt gain enough control to get the switch 3

but i did get a nothing to no footed can off the jump then onto cracking a big 360 table off the last drop.

I am now in 6th place which gets me into the finals and chubey rolls down with a good run and bumps me into 7th place by .2 of a lead.

All in all I had a great time and I will be looking forward to next year in whistler.
