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.

April 13, 2010

I arrived from austria at 3 pm and was hoping my girl was gonna be there to pick me up but nope. Good thing graham aggasiz was on the plane and I got a lift from him.

So I get to my bros place and pack up all the toys, 5 dirt bikes 1 quad 6 mountain bikes.

In my truck with my bud jordie lunn we set off to drive through the night all the way to morgan hill.

So yah we drive non stop and get to morgan hill around 12:30 to meet with the specialized designers and talk over a bunch of products for the upcoming year.

By the way, once again I am verrry tired from traveling non stop for 2 days.
