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.

Pinned

June 28, 2012

I will honestly say I am one of those individuals that will always be busy!

After I finished filming for the movie I decided to clear my schedule of travelling to competitions for a while and I am still busy! I guess thats what happens when you have been travelling for 3 months.

So the last film trip in utah went pretty good, I got some rad lines in but I fell short of my tricks that I wanted to throw down, which is why I decided to take some time off to just ride my bike at home. To put it in perspective I have been pinned for 10 years now going from contest to film trip to contest to filming and put all the injuries I have dealt with over the years I have not had much time to just ride my bike and progress. One might think that a guy in my position rides his bike alot but for the past few years that hasn't been the case My winters are rainy and cold so when I do have some time off then we cant ride and when the weather is good I am usually travelling to a comp or filming some where, not mention the stress you have in between not to get injured so you can hopefully finish out your year. So now its time to ride and have fun.

My trails are all time right now and I am pumped to have so much rad stuff to shred in my area but I still have trouble finding people to ride with. which is the case for alot of folks. Its 10 am and i just finished a morning sesh in my yard before I go meet up with some friends to ride some dhing.
