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.

It is in the dead of winter....

February 11, 2010

It is in the dead of winter here in british columbia and I have been doing as much training for the nepal urge challenge as I can. If you do not know what the nepal race is well I will tell you, it is a adventure race where 10 athletes hike to the top of a mountain and document the experience.

then at 17,000 feet we each race to the bottom on a trail that is not marked.

Last year I did the race in africa and man what that ever a rad trip, it was a asskicker but fun.

So I have been hitting the pool in the mornings swimming around 25 minutes combined with hitting the gym and also doing road and xc rides.

Man the other day I did a 60km road ride on a cup of coffee and a piece of toast, it's safe to say that I bonked half way through the ride lol!

other than that i got some pics of this trail ikm building near my house.....enjoy
