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.

It's not too often

February 6, 2012

It's not too often where I have a normal sunday where I get things done around the yard and do work in the shop when the sun is shining but I will say I thoroughly enjoyed it lol!
I did get a rad ride in with my girl and some friends on a jail I built named jailbreak.  Why is it called jailbreak, well I'll let u figure that one out lol!

Its been about a week since I got home from my cali roadtrip and since then I've put in six hours with my machine on my jumps out in the bush and man its looking so good its not even funny! the jumps are now a 24 pack that winds through the trees, freakin epic I tell ya.

midweek some of the vancouver and vic boys came to ride my jumps and we had a good old time, shredding my step up and a couple sets of trails that are nearby. We also hit my practice jump which we changed the lip and built up the landing and its so much better now. All the boys threw down all the tricks.
Yesterday I went out with my snowmobile buddies, they bought a snowcat and plowed the road in up to the spot and wow its nice sledding in on a groomed trail lol.

The day consisted of lighting a slash pile on fire bbq, bevies and some big old jumps we built with the snowcat. Its insane how rad it is to just build a jump wherever you want with a snowmobile lol.

For this week I'm going to be shooting a behind the scenes story on my offseason with john gibson.
