Wide Open // Episode 4: Trading Motos for Mountain Bikes

2 min readUpdated May 1, 2017

I have always loved to watch Darren Berrecloth ride. He has a unique style and dedication to the sport that is unlike any other rider. This series really shows how much he just loves being out and on a bike with some contrast with moto riding as well.

When they do the same drop on a moto and mountain bike…that is a pretty awesome moment.

With the scouting done, it’s time to build. Darren Berrecloth and Ricky Brabec head out with mountain bikes and shovels in tow and a few jumps in mind. As the sending begins, they each take to the bike they know—and love—best, making for some prime doubles action.

As professional athletes, Darren Berrecloth and Ricky Brabec come from two very different, yet relatable worlds—Darren is a mountain biker and Ricky, a cross-country moto racer. Both live lifestyles that are equal parts passion and hard work. Wide Open is a series that documents a week in the desert with the two as they enjoy the freedom and good times that only two wheels and zero obligations can provide.

I founded Bike198 back in 2008 and started riding bikes seriously in 1994. A lot has changed since that time and one of the greatest releases is still getting out on the bike and shredding trail or tearing up the road.
