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.

After the specialized shindig...

April 15, 2010

After the specialized shindig we roll to meet up with the fox suspension crew for dins and margaritas.

It is safe to say I passed out that night like a ton of bricks lol!

In the morning we woke up and had a presentation for all the new fox suspension products, and man are they killing it.

The stuff for next year is so rad its not even funny.

After the media presentation we rolled out to a near by forest for all the media guys to strap on the new suspension and take some photos.

The trail was super sick, it was fast and flowy, smiles were abundant.

After that myself and Cam Mcaul decided to get our surf on.

So he has a wet suit for me and spare board so I'm stoked.

After I put it on I ask how long hes had that suit and he laughs and says his neighbour threw it in the garbage on the curb and he scooped it.

Jackass I tell him lol! anyhow we jumped in and despite my numb feet we had some fun in the water surfing till pitch black singing the jaws theme song we rolled in and then had some wobbly pops..........

goooooooooooood day
