Misspent Summers just launched their downhill and enduro yearbooks, so we thought it would be a good time to catch up and chat about some of our favourite memories from the 2024 season, as well as to look forward to 2025 and talk about some of the changes that are coming to the sport. Find out if we understand the rule changes. Hear our thoughts on three person podiums, the move to no protection, and the jeopardy created by the restriction on team numbers. The guys also tackle the big question, will enduro be ok? There’s lots to dig into, so, without further ado, here’s Ben and James from Misspent Summers.
