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.

one more trade show is in the books

September 28, 2009

well one more trade show is in the books. The show was good and I was stoked on how my segment turned out, I must say that this segment is my best to date. Not very many people understand how much hard work goes into a segment like this so with that being said I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and it gets the stoke going in your fire to ride bikes.

I got the opener in the movie which was rad not to mention how sick the intro was, dramatic music accompanied with the athletes and the crew to put the series to rest.

Today I awoke to the epic sunrise in zion national park, after having a epic xc ride ride late last night that ended up a little longer than I expected.

You know when its getting ate in the day and you want to go on a long ride even though you know there is a good chance u might not have enough light left.

lets just say i would have been fine if my front tire didnt go flat with 4 miles to go, lol! I rode out in the dark with a flat.

Now I am going to go to moab and do some more xc rides before i come back to virgin to shoot the nissan commercial with freeride entertainment.

stay tuned
