'Decade' Photo Book Launched to Mark 10 Years of the EWS

 If this would have been the common sence direction now perhaps we would have a week of top pro racing mixing all sort of mountains, terrains (urban included), countries and great media... just train in the morning, race in the afternoon... and you can have as many followed days you want...
Difficult to pick the attention and grow intensity with one day event.. that´s absurd... even DH has qualify the day before... timed trainnings...

 Back when enduro bikes weighted less than DH bikes.

 @nozes: Enduro bikes have equipment to go down the hill AND back up, so it makes sense they weigh the same or more.

 @PauRexs: What you've described is essentially what TTP has been doing with their "trail party" format enduro races.

 @ryanandrewrogers: what's TTP?

 @PauRexs: Team Trail Party, they run a race series or two down in Texas/New Mexico/Colorado, its a neat format that I kinda hope takes root other places too

 Someone made loads if cash trough it...

 What's it got to do with the UCI? UCI sold the rights to the World Cups and series to the EWS, not the other way around. EWS parent organization the ESO now run the UCI world series. So basically opposite of what you are saying is what actually happened.

 @MrNally: ESO sold the spirit of Enduro to UCI then?

 @MrNally: Well, except there's another nuance. The real monetary value of any kind of racing is in its entertainment, and ESO sold those rights to Warner Bros. Which might not be the best corporation to cradle the "spirit of enduro", but will probably be a huge asset if the sport is to become a real money maker... which is itself antithetical to the "spirit"

 @ryanandrewrogers: Exactly! Even worse maybe, or maybe not. Time will tell, but UCI have given all the control to ESO and WB/Discovery.

 Youve never been mkre upset about anything?
Maybe read some news to get a bit of perspective...

 bruh, it's got an ebike category, done been dead

 @levaca: It was a bit of hyperbole. But yeah, I've stood on a UK style 3 pin plug before, so yeah, I've got perspective.

 @Pedal-Bin: why did you stand on a 3 pin plug?

 @gossman: In my culture it is seen as a rite of passage, a symbol of leaving behind the childish games and innocence of youth and becoming a mature adult. Only with the act of treading on an upright UK 3 pin plug can one said to be truly embraced into the next phase of enlightenment and with that transition comes a prolific mastery of the most obscene swear words you will ever hear.
That @gossman, is why I stood on the plug. Like many generations before me and indeed, like many generations to come, I took the literal step in adulthood and beyond.
Next time you are in the company of a personage who was born in that most United Of Kingdoms, take a moment to gaze upon the souls of their feet, for they too may have also been blessed.
Also, some c*nt unplugged something and left the plug on the floor and I stood on it.

 @Pedal-Bin: OMG hahahaha thank you for that! Today I learned... F#ck!

 Such a bummer. UCI gives zeros about Mountain Biking. I wish RedBull would’ve bought it instead of those turds at the UCI

 @theedon: or RedBull should just start their own series

 @theedon: What's it got to do with the UCI. UCI sold the rights to the World Cups and series to the EWS, not the other way around. EWS parent organization the ESO now run the UCI world series. So basically opposite of what you are saying is what actually happened.

 There were 10 seasons of racing (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22), so I think it's fair to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

 @edspratt: Does a season count if they don't declare a winner at the end of it, or is it really more like 9.5 seasons?

 @j-t-g: wait that happened?

 @sunanddirt: One of the COVID seasons had no overall winner declared because it was only a few races and many riders didnt/couldnt make it. Round these parts we consider Melamed the winner.

 They've been making EWS yearbooks for quite a few years now. It's only waiting if they release the "10 years of EWS" in 2033. As they release it in 2023, it seems pretty on time to me.

 There are loads of digital articles on a website called Pinkbike. Look it up, you may like it.

According to the article, this book is made by Misspent Summers. They do books. They make books by themselves. They even make books out of another website (Eskapee, the Anthology books) and the Downtime Podcasts. They even made a book out of a movie with Brendan Fairclough, called Deathgrip. They do have a digital series of books available, called Analog. You can print them out and staple them as that's how they're designed. But if you don't do the printing part, you indeed have them as digital files.

There are indeed quite a few articles on Pinkbike which I would read if they'd release them in print.

 @vinay: Well if they claim to be eco-friendly then having a digital version would be just that. Don't you think?

 @tacklingdummy: Do they claim to be eco-friendly? I haven't spotted that claim but I may need to check their website someday. I honestly don't know how paper books and webpages compare really. I once read a claim that a single search through Google consumes as much energy as brewing a cup of coffee. If it is even true I don't know how much energy is being consumed by their own algorithms and how much energy is being burnt just by actually providing the service.

Either way the answer to help you with what you're looking for is, digital articles about the EWS competition are already available. This book is made by Misspent Summers and books is what they make. It is like asking Hope for a forged stem. They don't do that, but you can get one from Spank if you really want one.

TL;DR: What you want is there. Stop looking where it isn't.

 @vinay: You should really get off the computer and go ride or spend your efforts on something else.

 @tacklingdummy: I just responded to your posts. You meant to say you wanted to be left alone in your echo chamber? That's ok, I won't bother you here anymore. Please enjoy!

 @tacklingdummy: Hiya. We do our best to limit our impact, use and support other small companies with similar values, and pay fair amounts to the people doing the real work for us. Eco-friendly would be a bold claim though (same for any company in and industry, in our opinion). We're looking into producing digital versions at the moment and if that could work with the stuff we produce and way we operate. @vinay thanks for supporting us!
