The Claw Retires | Red Bull Rampage 2018 6

The name you think of when someone asks you about big mountain riding? It can only be Darren Berrecloth. From his rebellious roots in British Colombia to glacier expeditions high in the arctic, The Claw is regarded as one of the best freeride mountain bikers in the world.

He may not be competing anymore but his name will go down in history as one of the most iconic riders mountain biking has ever seen.

Ride on Claw!

The word gets thrown around a lot these days, but the Claw is a true legend, from slope style, to slope style tricks on huge mountains, he's a pioneer of modern freeride.

IMO Darren is the best Big Mountain back country freeride MTB’r ever, I sure hope he continues to make the movies and telling the stories about those adventures.

Few things. 1st, Cam Zink = Randy Couture. 2. I used to always associate the 360 drop and Specialized bikes w/ Claw. 3. I still think about Jordie Lunn talking about the snake going in the snake hole.

The epitome of freeride. His name is synomous with remote, big-mountain, missions while still throwing it down at Rampage
