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.

Kinda warm here in indonesia

October 27, 2009

So its kinda warm here down in indonesia where myself and kyle are on the specialized indonesia tour, where we will be doing some demos and signing a whole bunch of autographs and a few thousand photos with fans. Myself and kyle have been here a few days now and just now are getting over the jet lag which is never fun.

The first stop on the tour was a demo at the indonesian national downhill championships, We showed up to see what they had built for us and were quite amazed at how big of a road gap they constructed for me and Kyle to jump a few times for the crowd at the race. The gap was around 30 feet long with around 26 feet of drop with a super flat landing and sketchy runout, I was quick to suggest that we should modify it so that I could hit it.

With that being said 15 indonesian workers with nothing but picks and sandbags built up the landing a little bit meanwhile digging it out to steepen the tranny.

With the landing being fixed I got up there and was quite amazed at how excited the local fans were to see something like this be done. With 2 practice runs finished I hit the road gap and I overshot it quite a bit. I was fairly impressed with the amount the crowd swarmed

me and insisted on photos and autographs.

I then hit it up a second time and threw a good table in for the crowd and once again was bombarded with the fans with all sorts of requests like give me your helmet to give me your bike which made me laugh. myself and kyle trew out some product for the crowd and what a sight seeing these people scrap over goggles and gloves and such.
