Every mountain biker dreams of the perfect place to ride.

Few countries in the world serve up such diverse mountain biking landscapes as New Zealand. With a labyrinth of trails that flow, challenge and excite set against a backdrop of dramatic and surreal landscapes, New Zealand has become the 'Garden of Eden' for mountain bikers.

With contributions by leading photographers and professional athletes who have contributed to and documented the rise of mountain biking, Eden is a stunning collection of mountain biking photography and essays capturing the growth of this young sport in one of the youngest countries in the world. This book is for daydreaming and for inspiring bucket list adventure-making in the mountain bike paradise of New Zealand.
