Specialized Factory rider and BMX stunt envelope-pusher Darren Berrecloth was
selected to be one of the first athletes to be featured on the Discovery
Channel's new series "Stunt Junkies." Each 60-minute episode of Stunt Junkies
takes viewers behind the scenes of an unimaginable stunt, for a close look at
what it's like to push the limits of personal expression and defy danger.
During the filming of Berrecloth's episode, the Discovery Channel paid a visit
to Specialized and got an inside look at how the rider's latest bike, a 2006
Specialized Demo 8, was engineered, tested and built. With the Discovery
Channel cameras rolling, Berrecloth also took the time to launch from a
two-story high loading dock into the Specialized warehouse. "We've had a lot of
interesting things happen around the office in the past thirty something years,
but nothing that crazy," said Specialized founder and president, Mike Sinyard.
Berrecloth's episode of "Stunt Junkies" will appear on February 1, 2006 at 10pm
on the Discovery Channel.
