All work and no play makes Eddie a dull boy and that just wouldn’t be right for this Kiwi pinner.

Fun-loving is just one of many ways to describe Eddie Masters. The flamboyant New Zealander appears to take nothing too seriously, but that shouldn’t distract from his talent on the bike.
After picking up some encouraging results as a privateer over the past couple of years, including a 26th place at Val di Sole last year, Eddie was picked up by the Bergamont Hayes World Downhill Team to race on the 2014 World Cup circuit alongside teammates Canada’s Casey Brown and Aussie Jack Moir.
In what proved to be his best weekend yet on the World Cup, we caught up with Eddie in Cairns to find out more about his philosophy on racing mountain bikes and life.
