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.

My oh my what a day I had yesterday

May 26, 2010

My oh my what a day I had yesterday. I woke up on the wrong side of bed in theory and it was all downhill from there. I tried to fix my broken down bobcat and realized I had the wrong part then I came inside to get some office work done. Since I had a pile of to do things on my desk, mainly I needed to get my mortgage sorted on this condo I bought as a presale three years prior. And my mortgage guy calls and says my near perfect credit score has been destroyed by a twenty dollar bill I didn't know about so in short I can no longer be accepted for this mortgage and I'm screwed since the closing date is Monday. On top of that I have to arrange for a trip to china on Monday and my bros wedding this Friday. Also half my parts havnt showed up to build my bikes.

So after numerous phone calls I decided my priority is gettingbmy bike built up so I used some of my old parts and built up my new demo eight that whichbi will he brining to china. After that I still needed to pack and it was almost dark and I really wanted to unwind so I grabbed a helmet and sprinted towards my dh trail I built near my house and man, it really was what the doctor ordered. Its funny how life can grab u by the balls and a bike ride totally sets your mind at ease ahhhhhh now time to pack lol!
