What’s included:
- Hurly Burly 2025 – downhill World Cup and Championships yearbook
- The World Stage 2025 – enduro World Cup and Championships yearbook
- 500+ pages of photos, reporting and commentary across both books
Documenting the 2025 downhill and enduro World Cup and World Championships season in high-quality print, Hurly Burly and The World Stage 2025 are essential items and the best gift for any mountain bike fan.
Our yearbooks bring to life mountain biking’s best photography and writing in stunning design and vivid print.
Since 2016, we’ve been recording the history of mountain biking. Your purchases help us keep doing so.
Why pre-order this bundle:
- Save money – £4 off the combined price of both books
- Early shipping – pre-orders ship from November
- Support our work – help us record mountain biking history
Buying our books helps us keep documenting mountain biking through our print titles and in our newsletters, online coverage and social media.
Bundling Hurly Burly and The World Stage into a pre-order package simplifies our print order.
Above all though, we really want our core followers to own both books.
We put a lot of time, effort and knowledge into them and know you’ll enjoy every page.

Book launch
Launching in phases helps us plan production and shipping while juggling the many tasks that go into getting books to print. (We’re a tiny company and all wear various hats.)
1. We launched the Super Supporter pre-order bundle in mid-October (thank you to everyone who ordered)
2. Now we’re offering the yearbook bundle and individual pre-orders
3. Next, we’ll launch the books individually in November
4. Mid-late November we’ll add them to our Amazon store (see why below)
5. Eventually, if we figure out how, we might add an e-book version too (TBD)
Hurly Burly and The World Stage will be revealed in the second week of November.
Our newsletter audience will be the first to hear about the launch, so keep an eye on your inbox to see who’s on the covers in November.
Pre-ordered bundles will be shipped as soon as possible for you to be able to enjoy before Christmas.
Misspent Summers Amazon store
Although we’d always prefer you to purchase directly from misspentsummers.com, we will add Hurly Burly, The World Stage and Cross-Country 2025 to our Amazon store later in November.
OUR COMMITMENT
Why we print in the UK
Hurly Burly and The World Stage are printed in the UK by trusted print partners to ensure top quality, sustainable materials and responsible practices.
Why we make Hurly Burly and The World Stage
When we started this company in 2016, our goal was to record the history of mountain biking.
Now in their ninth and eighth editions respectively (in 2020 we made Meltdown), Hurly Burly and The World Stage do just that and more: through world-class design, writing and photography they immerse the reader in the action and, we hope, inspire people to ride.
Dozens of contributors put a huge amount of time, passion and knowledge into our print projects.
We are mountain biking’s biggest fans.
Thank you for supporting our work.
