He is one of the world’s leading mountain bikers and pioneers of the sport bringing insane tricks into the backcountry.

Traveling around the world has seen Berrecloth taking to the screen in ‘Where The Trail Ends’ and ‘North of Nightfall’ in search of the biggest rides and biggest lines. He also keeps busy designing mtb courses such as the Bearclaw invitational on Vancouver island.
