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.

I had the most epic day ever!

October 25, 2010

Ok so the other day I had the most epic day ever!

I started off with hitting the gym with my girlfriend, after that I chose some house stuff like colours and whatnot. Then I met up with Stevie smith at my current house and we got shuttled up to my dh trail and we shredded the crap outta that trail.

After that ride we got our moto gear and we hopped on the motos and from my driveway we Rode the whiskey creek trails which are amazing by the way.

We rode 20kms of badass single track, which was sooo much fun.We got back to my place and there was still light left so I decided to go for a hunt near my place.

So I went for a stalk in bush, about 45 mins into my hike I was glassing a clearing and I passed over what I thought was a rock. I was looking at it thinking that man that doesn't look like a rock it looks like a deer. Just then it put its head up and was looking right at me, just as I realized the wind was at my back I was now in a standoff where I couldn't move my binoculars from my face otherwise the buck would see me move and run off.

So here I am for five minutes holding my binos up to my eyes trying to stay still until it put its head down. It finally did and I ducked down and pulled my rifle out and well the rest is history. Except the fact of field dressing it in the dark with a ton of bears around the area, I had to drag it 3kms outta the bush.

Now thats my idea of a epic day......

P.S. my new house is looking awesome
