If you (or a special someone) like a bit of downhill racing action and also like the gentle touch of pulped trees between your fingers, then the 2018 Hurly Burly Downhill Yearbook will likely be just the thing, with 220 pages words and pictures covering the entire UCI World Cup season.

• Five things that weren't cool - until enduro happened
• Best mountain bikes for under £1000 - top budget rides ridden and rated
• Buyer's guide to winter kit - beat the cold and the slop this summer

With images covering each of the seven rounds (plus World Champs) from the likes of Sven Martin, Sebastian Schieck and Boris Beyer alongside in-depth reports from each round from some of the sport's knowledgeable observers.

The Hurly Burly team has now also brought ex-Dirt Magazine editor Mike Rose to help the production crew as well as video/photographer Ben Winder, adding up to a team with decades of editorial experience at the pointy end of the downhill mountain bike media.

You can get your hands on a copy for £15 plus £2  postage and packaging in the UK or £5 overseas and you should head to their website below for more details or to have a bit more of an ogle at the pictures.
