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.

The slopes are steep and flowy

May 4, 2010

The slopes are steep and flowy at times, the people are relaxed and mingling about here at garda bike festival.

So I do a ride down some crazy trail where we have to climb up a steel ladder for 80 feet and carry your bike on your back lol!

The trail was good and flowy and spitted us out near the event so I decided to try and ride the 4 cross race.

I lived half my life bmx racing and it had been 10 years since I had raced, so I was kinda pumped to try. I got one lap in on the course before they closed the track down before qualification runs. I did my quali run and was stoked when I ended up in sixth. So I made it to

semis and I kinda blew my gate start and then got pushed to the outside of the first corner to the point where I almost crashed while putting my foot down, so that was it I didnt make it to finals but I had fun and thats racing.

Folowing the race they held the movie premier of follow me which was held outdoors and was pretty sick actually.

The next 2 days were filled with a couple of photo shoots and some decent riding, good times all in all.
