'As a former elite athlete, and now Head Coach at the Santa Cruz Syndicate, it is great to see mountain biking getting the attention it deserves. This sport has given me everything and continues to do so. It’s allowed me to travel the world, meet new people, and experience many different cultures. Hopefully, this collection will help to bring these cultures to a wider audience, whilst encouraging more people to get out on their bikes.' Steve Peat, Head Coach with the Santa Cruz Syndicate and Downhill World Champion 'Mountain Biking, Culture and Society is the definitive text for anyone interested in understanding mountain biking as a sport, practice, community, identity, and embodied experience. It brings together the most cutting-edge research from scholars around the world, each advancing new ways of thinking about sport, moving bodies, technologies, and the environment. This is highly recommended reading for critical and social scholars of sport, physical culture, action sports and outdoor recreation, as well as those passionate about mountain biking.' Holly Thorpe, University of Waikato, New Zealand
