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.

In utah after the first day of shooting for the nissan commercial

October 7, 2009

Im here in utah after the first day of shooting for the nissan tv commercial and man what a day.

I originally heard about this tv commercial that nissan wanted to film and I never thought I would actually get the job but here I am on the set of a official tv shoot.

The basic story line of the shoot is, I am flying around in a helicopter looking for a epic line in the utah desert then we decide I cant land on the top of the Line so I get out of the heli and jump into the nissan xtrail and drive to it and then I shred the line then jump back into the xtrail and drive away.

Pretty cool heh?

Freeride entertainment has paired up with some of hollywoods best in order to pull this off and I have brought my bud cam mccaul out to do some pov riding and he is my backup guy in case I get hurt.

We shot all day yesterday which was pretty crazy watching how much of a cluster it is filming a shoot like this, there are over 30 crew on this shoot. Thats alot more than what I am used to when I make bike movies its usually 2 filmers and 1 photographer so its pretty overwhelming but the shoot went well we filmed me landing in the heli then jumping out of it and getting me into the nissan xtrail. After that the professional driver took over and did all of the ralying

shots through the desert with the heli chasing it.

So that brings us to day 2 so stay tuned
