In the following interview he answered some questions about the development and future of the sport, we added some personal questions and prodded him about hitting the big 30. Stay tuned and read on for Darrens answers.
Application process for new FMB World Tour events has started
The Freeride Mountain Bike Association (FMBA) has just successfully finished its second season and is already in full preparation for 2012. For next year, the league will continue pursuing the goal of gathering the finest riders at the prime spots for the best events under the roof of the FMB World Tour.
Red Bull Rampage – voices & opinions
2012 will see the Rampage return to the Utah desert. Riders are free to choose their own line, combining downhill and slopestyle skills to create epic runs. That's what makes this event so special; each run is different, creative, steep and full of insane hits and drops, earning it the often-cited unofficial title "mother of all freeride events".
