Misspent Summers Reviews 

Great publications written by knowledgable, passionate people who have been covering this sport for a long, long time.

One of the last great bastions of quality mtb print media which isn’t just adverts and reviews trying to seek you kit.

Awesome peeps working hard to make our sport even better! Thanks legends 😎

The best quality there is, with amazing work inside.

Great magazine, good insights, good pictures and great to see people still pushing print! We’ll all miss it when it’s gone so it’s great to see these guys trying.

The books I've purchased from here have been second to none, the pictures alone are with the price, but the extra articles within really to make these books stand out. The history captured is outstanding

I keep going back to past Hurly Burlys. They’re just so good. Can’t wait for this year’s! I’m glad someone is keeping mtb print alive.

We buy our son the Hurly Burly every year it’s actually a family tradition. A great coffee table book for him and one his mates love to read when visiting. The artwork is as good as the photography and creates a mag presented with refreshing design

I’ve purchased and read their yearbooks (Hurly Burly and The Worlds Stage), as well as their project with Downtime Podcast in the Downtime EP. Amazing print products that keep the stoke high for riding, particularly during the off season when I can’t ride as much.

The yearbooks track the sport so well, but aren’t textbook in their delivery with only numbers and stats (those are good for something, but not my favourite thing to read)

Their softgoods are always incredible (albeit shipping to Canada isn’t cheap, but such is life), and Tea and Biscuits AND Tea and Biscuits 2?!?!? Come on. That stuff was great. Awesome folks, putting out countless awesome products.

The future (and present) of mountain bike media. Not just a bunch of ads like everyone else. Beautiful photography.

Independent thinking, independent insight, independent journalism. Wonderfully refreshing. Thank you.

Misspent Summers’ Hurly Burly books are beautiful, well made, and really capture the feeling of the downhill World Cup. The season isn’t complete until we get our copy! Also, their customer service has been consistently excellent.

Absolutely ahead of the game, the quality of the products not to mention the love that’s gone in to them shows.

I found Hurly Burly in one local store here in Slovakia. And I immediately fall in love with that book. Ordered one next day. ☺️
Stunning photographs, great articles and absolutely fantastic. Must read, must have for everyone who likes the spirit and life style of mountain biking.

This publication (DowntimeEP) has rekindled my love for print. It sets itself apart in that it was deliberately developed for print in a digital age, and not merely trying to survive being in print like most other print MTB magazines still out there. The guys at Misspent Summers have seen where digital publications have gaps, and thoughtfully and purposefully created a print magazine that is a joy to read, hold, and flip through. Something you can take your time with and think about, in a world that is go go go all the time. Received my subscription as a gift, and I’ll happily renew it going forwards.

The quality of the product is second to none. The book itself uses a wonderful paper stock that feels nice in your hands and a reassuringly comfy weight.
The images are some of the best content from photographers all over and the articles are well written, thought out and presented.

The best thing is NO ADVERTS well from what I recall, I don't remember seeing any anyway.

Honestly it's that good. I don't know what else I can say. Trust them and they will provide top quality reading a reference material interspersed with images you will stare at.

Top job.

I Bought 'Meltdown', a book covering the 2020 Mountain bike race season and instantly fell in love with the company, would love to support them as much as I can but shipping prices to Australia add up.

On point, aware, witty and gritty. One of the best publications out there and such a breath of fresh air from all the digital overload

Excelent customer support: I ordered a book with shipping to Germany and for some reasons I could not pick it up in time (my fault) so it got sent back to the UK by my local parcel deliverer. I wrote them and they shipped it again free of charge and even added a nice gift inside! The books itself are well worth the money. You can feel that these guys love Mtb with their full heart.

You will not find better publications or online reporting and content... anywhere else.

Great content in their Mags (books?) and one of the only people keeping mountain bike print alive. Sometimes a bit delayed in getting product out, but always worth the wait. Be a part of history and subscribe!
