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.

I am here in austria

February 1, 2010

I am here in austria for the white style event and today was supposed to be the first day of practice but due to snow we couldn't really ride, go figure eh!

My week here started out good with a night in munich which was very sleep deprived, we then jumped in a car and went to the famous bike town saalbach-hinterglemm which is also very awesome for snowboarding. So when I woke up I felt awesome after a good night sleep, so we

strapped on our boards and went snowboarding in the alps and man was it fun.

I have been here in the alps many times in the summer but never in the winter, the weather was awesome and we had a great day followed by some beers which is pretty much how they do it here, they sleep, ski then drink beer and sleep again and do it all the next day. My day was cut short since by midday I started to feel sick and by dinner time I was feeling aweful.

then today I dragged me arse up and drove to the red bull headquarters in austria which was pretty amazing to go check out the global headquarters and meet all the people that work there.

So that was fun even though that I'm deathly sick with the flu and now

im sitting in my room trying to save strength for tomorrow.

peace out and wish me luck eh!
