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.

My flu was in full swing

February 1, 2010

My flu was in full swing the day of the contest in austria and I got barely any sleep due to the fact that it seemed my nose had a tap running on full all night.

I got up and had a shower then proceeded to the first ever FMBA word tour meeting, thats right folks us freeriders and industry staff are getting organized and are going to have a world ranking. The meeting lasted forever and when done we took to the slopes with our bikes and

proceeded to shred the slopestyle course on our bikes, for those that do not know about mtbing in the snow, well I will tell you, its actually pretty easy to ride in the snow as long as it is groomed and then set up such as left overnight.

Practice went well and it seemed that all the boys have been hard at work all winter, honing their biking skills, cuz everyone was riding good. The course was on a decent slope and started off with a small drop which led 2 doubles around 30 feet long in size then to a fruit

bowl with a drop out, which led into a step up step down into a big arse double around 35 40 feet long.

qualifying went well and I ended up qualifying in 4th and my finals run went like this.

360 off the drop backflip over the first double tailwhip over the 2nd, 360 xup out of the fruit bowl, tuck no hander up the step up, super indian air down the drop and 360 the big jump on the bottom.

I ended up with 5th place behind sam pilgrim in first and leahhy in 2nd and amir in 3rd and yannick in 4th.

I was super stoked with the result since I have barely ridden at all this winter due to crap weather.

keep it rubber side down till next time.
