Misspent Summers Reviews 

I bought the latest Downtime EP book and it was great. Everything was excellent from the ordering and delivery service to the quality of the book and the content. Thanks & well done!

My first Misspent Summers book was Hurly Burly from the 2016 Downhill season. I was following mountainbike media channels for about 5 years, but the way MS did it was fresh, different, they took their time. And it's worth it. With all the fast flodder of info that rolls down our screens, I find it quite peaceful to read in a book about one of the most radical sports there is.

Although Misspent Summers tries to convince their readers, fans, and fellow mountain bikers they're not perfect, as a media company that's covering the sharp end of mountain biking in engaging and interesting ways, everyone agrees they do an incredible job. They've got great merch, too!

Great people, great sport, great company and great products! I am collecting all Hurley Burley DH yearbooks and every edition is getting better and better. Shipments to Germany are working somehow well, but this more a Brexit thing. Don't worry, all shipments arrived on time. Very important for Hurley Burley as it is my xmas treat 🎄

Great content and articles packed into a beautifully produced, high quality magazine (well, it's more of a book really!).
The writing, graphic design and photography all go towards to making it a real treat when it arrives on my doormat!

I've purchased several of their books and they feature great stories and beautiful pictures. Misspent Summers also has excellent customer service and fast shipping which, being in the US, is great.

The highest quality mtb coverage available. Love their stuff.

Misspent Summers have the magic touch. Everything they do just screams mountain biking. Capturing the essence of MTB though the mediums they use in a way that makes you love it more.

Modern media mechanisms are all about speed and quantity. MS choose a more patient approach. Pause, absorb, reflect, then publish because maybe this is what great content requires for a deeper experience. Keep up the great work team.

The visual quality and the depth of the coverage is the best in business. Looking forward to everything they do. Honestly, the only mailinglist content I look forward to ...

Got myself two yearbooks and I love the notes I got for all the races so far. Keep it up!

Amazing content, nice people, great customer service, quick delivery.

In an age where there is so much emphasis on having the newest and shiniest things, misspent summers provide a breath of fresh air and a reminder of the core of what makes up this beautiful sport; the people, racing, and the culture. Their books and magazines are truly works of art.

When a printed magazine, arriving months after the event, is more immersive, more captivating and more real than watching the event live on tv, you know the writers and photographers are doing something right. Incredible passion flows from everything James and his team do. You can read an article or a random mtb publication and know instantly that somewhere along the line Misspent summers are involved. The story of mtb runs deep. Keep doing what you’re doing guys. It’s amazing.

I find it difficult to describe what is so great about Misspent Summers, there is so much variety to what they do. From inside information on the world cup downhill and enduro racing, sent as it’s happening. It’s the only mailing list I subscribe to where i am always left wanting more content. To Wonderfully produced year books containing all the stories of the years racing and amazing photographs. Plus unique and quality merch that is more than just t-shirts and caps. Best of all if anything ever goes wrong (like your order getting lost in the mail) the founders respond to your emails and bend over backwards to make it right.

You can just tell that all the folk behind Misspent Summers do what they do because they love mountain biking, plain and simple. It seems that whatever they touch results in condensed passion, without even the faintest whiff of a bean counter or marketing BS. If only the world had more Misspent Summers.

The hype is high for the people of misspent summers. The quality of the written pieces, the outstanding pictures and of course having that vision to pull it all together to make some amazing products. First class with this company! It wouldn't be mtb without them. Mon the tea & biscuits and highly recommended the downtime collection.

After seeing the decay of our fave mag Dirt we had no other publication out there that understood the counter culture / rebellious side of riding & racing mountain bikes.

Until Misspent Summers came through with the goods, and my god have they delivered! Beautifully designed layouts & photography from arguably the best in the field, who are in the mix & give us a true glimpse from within the race tape.

We could just sit with a brew & peruse the images that capture ya imagination to want to get the hell out & ride that very second but then if ya take a minute to read the articles ya can see the dedication the whole crüe put into each & every book / zine that they release.

Truly amazing work, thats worthy of any coffee table.

I have been purchasing from Misspent Summers since the first DH book. Every year I have purchased the annual books and other items with no issues ever.

Great people making great things. Well worth your time and support! They in turn help support some of the best photographers, designers, writers, filmers, riders and more in the mountain bike scene.
