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.

Films, trails and more

April 27, 2009

Well ive been home from my trip to utah for over a week now and life is good taking care of some bills and taxes ya know all the things that life throws at you when you decide to take off for 6 weeks. I have been building near my house, in preperation for filming here for the new world disorder 10, to hopefully finish off my segment for that movie which would be rad to get it out of the way early in the year, especially considering I have tons of obligations with traveling for various reasons like contests and film shoots. I even think I am going to the dominican republic for a film shoot for life cycles which is another film I will be in this year. The idea behind the shoot is I go there to park vida which is a bike park I am involved with and build a coupe rad and progressive stunts with stunning backdrops. It should be good pretty pumped on the trip but I wont lie in saying that the weather here on vancouver island is awesome at the moment.

I also want to tell you folks about something I just purchased..... I know you will be almost as excited as I am about it.... stay tuned for my next entry for now I will leave you some pictures of my trails called spook which will be featured in new world disorder 10
