Darren Berrecloth

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.

enduro european tour with hunter

May 3, 2010

so yah here we are in italy for the lago di garda bike festival, I must say though I was here like 8 years ago and man has this event grown.

The amount of people here on bikes is crazy. Very cool festival indeed. So the first day I arrived just in time to catch matt hunter and Trond hansen about to go on a ride, perfect I said since I was slapping myself in the face to stay awake in the car during my 3 hour drive at 200 km/h, gotta love the autobahn.

So we did some shredding and rode a pretty cool trail that had a ton of loose rock fleeing away from our tires as we sped downhill.

We got some killer shots with graber our photo guy and also did some go pro helmet camming as well which should work out good. We ended the day with a few beers and then I hit the sack like a ton of bricks.....end of day..........
