Darren Berrecloth on Stunt Junkies.
After that i started looking into it more and never knew who he was, then i started looking for a bike and got a spcialized and started loving darren's style then thought, man, wouldn't it be cool it it was him that got me into this, then i saw the episode again and voila!

I felt I could enhance the feeling of satisfaction and sheer joy as you reach the top of a mountain by hillwalking, by doing it on a bike instead.

I've been riding for 6 years now...

Always been mucking about on bikes, doing wee jumps in the garden etc, but never seriously.

Then my little bro got into it through some mates of his at school, then I thought might try that. Went to a biking centre with proper trails and the rest they say is history.

Nobody. I woke up one day and told myself I was going to get into it, and a couple weeks later bought my first real bike.

dh can easily cost more than a dirtbike. it blows. i just naturally tried to hop my cruiser off little bumps, and then i broke it. my friend's dad was rich and bought him a nice bike, so i got a hardrock and started doing stair drops to flat haha

I saw Steve Romagnar in an older episode of Drop-In, and I was like " I wanna do that"
