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.

The morning after

April 29, 2010

The morning after the night out in vegas was definitely a wee bit painful. It would seem we all had a little too much fun at the last night of my bros stag in vegas.

For myself it was back to the real world now, which was to drive north for 24 hours straight back to vancouver. I was fortunate enough to have my friend darren Terhune come along with me for the drive. The first 6 hours were the worst since my hangover was in full swing. The drive was long and we made good time, we arrived at the border were definitely a little worried about if we were about to be hassled, since I was driving my truck with a jet ski in the back of it with 2

bikes laid on top plus a bunch of bags, 5 dirt bikes, 2 atvs, and 3 more peda bikes on top of the atvs. We were surprised when they gave us no hassles after we paid our taxes on the things we purchased down south and rolled back to my bros place in van.

We unloaded the cargo and I dropped Darrren off at the ferry then met up with my girl megan and went out for dinner, which was great since I hadnt had a chance to see her in over 3 weeks.
