Misspent Summers Reviews 

All is perfect

Bumped into Ben and James in Les Gets
The misspent summers booth was stunning! Awesome to see pro riders and visitors mixed together around great coffee and bike history (Sam Hill Iron Horse replica bike)
Misspent summers is what makes this MTB community so awesome! And obviously absolutely love their yearly prints!

Absolutely brilliant just what I wanted and very well packed 😀

This website impresses with its excellent bundles and fair pricing. More importantly, it plays a crucial role in preserving our sport's history. Unlike electronic records that can be altered or erased, books safeguard historical facts against changing narratives, preventing opinions from overshadowing truths. Holding a physical book requires no technology or power, ensuring accessibility and reliability in documenting history.

The Downhill yearbook has become a staple in my collection, and I'm only missing the inaugural edition, which I'll soon acquire. The creators' enthusiasm for the sport is evident, and the book offers exceptional value. Every page is filled with incredible photos, making it a joy to explore. Keep up the fantastic work! I'm grateful for the amazing images and engaging content that brighten the winter season.

The best and highest quality MTB content in the game. Also run by some truly passionate folks.

These publications are fire. Good work boys

Sono ragazzi fantastici , animati da una grande passione . I loro prodotti editoriali sono di alto livello per il movimento dei bikers

Passionate teams. Customer service reactive and purpose oriented.
Books are piece of art

Unparalleled photos, authentic insight and informed observations of gravity mountain bike racing. Newsletter misses nothing, merch does what you'd hope and the print books are a treat.

Stunningly put together print matter documenting the scene with the best shots from my fave photographers, year after year, from world cup to niche stuff. All that with attention to detail that brings a tear to my eye, making revisiting past events a real treat.
Also the newsletter is cool AF

Simplement le meilleur du VTT gravity. Des textes qui font revivre les saisons, des photos extraordinaires, une mise en page dynamique. Le sport est mis en avant. À voir et revoir, les Hurly Burly, les wes. Une réelle inspiration pour moi.

Best, most satisfying to read, and the highest value mountain bike books I have ever had in my hands. The books themselves are thick and heavy as you already know they are gonna be packed with awesome shots, from some of the most talented photographers ever, filled with rad riding and awesome writing from people who dedicated their lives to mountain biking. I have got SPENT I and II and they are sick, stuffed with loads of different brief tales with their personalities and designs mirroring the writer's identity. Shoutout to all of you for putting so much effort into creating all of this! Misspent Summers tells the untold, incredibly precious bits of a greater story called Mountain biking that without them would go forgotten or even worse unoticed.

Great web site, good bundles, reasonable prices, but apart from that, they are vital in keeping the history of our sport. Electronic records can be deleted, changed and used according to the latest narrative. Preventing opinion becoming facts. When opinion trumps facts, humanity and society is lost.
Recording facts in book form is true historic recording.
Plus holding a book in your hand, doesn't need an electronic device or a charged battery.

The quality and the amount of content is NEXT level! Hats Off!

The magazines/books from Misspent Summers are always high quality in content, but also the visual and tactile nature of the materials used, lift their products beyond the norm. Add to this great customer service and you have a rare beast indeed.

In a world of digital media where everything is disposable and forgotten in seconds it is great that there are still people out there that value the feel and smell of a quality document.
The yearbooks are the only place you can get a record of the races together with great photos and numerous stats.
I miss the Dirt Mountain Bike magazines and these yearbooks provide a taste of what they were like.
The broadcasting of World Cups may have changed for better or worse, but long may the yearbooks continue exactly as they are.

Absolute legends. Thanks for keeping quality print alive in a time of fast-moving social media content! Outlets like misspent summers are essential for shaping the character of our sport. 🙏🏻

Oh, delivery was quick too! :)

These books are a thing of beauty. If you have any interest in two wheels, then I’d highly recommend
