Oh - and here's another one:

GET AFTER IT, MAN!! I *guarantee* you won't regret it.

That's lovely...

BTW...after all this encouraging people to move to Flagstaff, you're gonna bitch and whine and bag on how HOOOORRRRRIBBLLLE it is cuz of the over crowding...

Echo · Mar 4, 2005

Dude if you don't take the job and room in Flagstaff, gimme your buddy's number and I'll go.

what are your ties to Flag anyway? you are the biggest proponent of this whole situation, whats up?

I lived there for awhile a decade or so ago....... it kicked ass for riding bikes. And hiking. Man - the Grand Canyon is like 1-1/2 hours away!

I moved away because there weren't enough mountains for me......

Did you ever ride the asses down into the canyon at the grand canyon?

Shhhh..... I don't live there, so I don't really have any investment in the "crowding" of Flagstaff.

Oh - another cool thing. Flag is >7000 feet, so you're in *mondo* good shape when you head to the Colorado high country to ride. Durango isn't really too far away from Flag. :thumb:

which mountain is that in the pic? is that eldin(sp?)the one right on the edge of town that you can shuttle?

Nope - that's Humphries. It's >12K tall. You can see the Arizona Snowbowl on the right side.

I used to live right below Elden. It was in the days before shuttles and DH bikes. There's a 32+ mile singletrack route from town all the way around the mountain.... :thumb:

Here's the kicker. There's craploads of *this* all year around:

And none of that pesky humidity to go along with your sun. Sunny and dry. Except when it snows.

Actually, if you don't like sunny, cool, dry weather, I'd recommend *not* moving to Flag.

damn rob you had to do it didnt ya?

that top pic is courthouse falls its so fun to jump off of that thing. 53 feet.

haha... just wait until we get all the drunken monkeys sliding down the falls/rocks at the end of Caney Bottoms.

Seriously, the riding/mountain thing shouldnt even be a factor, the riding you have is second to none.

actually i have those trades (mechanic and carpenter)my arm would be a serious issue when it comes to lifting things over my head and swinging a hammer. I know it sounds like a cop out but its true.

HAHAHAHA! Like carpenters use hammers these days....

Can you pull the trigger on an nail gun?

Well, there's always this:

And let's not forget:

Although it'd be tough getting to the top of that last one to jump off.

kinda, but it hurts like hell to hold onto it.

Gottcha... but how are you going to swing a fly rod?

Obviously a question of this magnitude can only be correctly answered by Stosh....

very easily. my wrist doesnt really move so it actually made my casting better, fishing was one of the things i did for strength therapy on it while it was still in a brace.

i cant lift large or heavy objects over my head either.

so you were limp wristed before you broke it?

dh girlie · Mar 4, 2005

biggins said:
no but but you dont want your wrist collapsing when you cast now my wrist doesnt have that option.........actually my arms were way out of proportion to the rest of my body from doing nothing but rock climbing for 7 years.

hmmm...maybe y'all could wrastle chimps for a living out there in a carnival till you get on your feet...

actually hueco tanks state park in texas isnt far. i cant crack climb anymore because i cant bend my arm really at the wrist. i am more of a boulderer anyway. thats what i have always primarily done.

Speaking of not to far away...... Look what's within about 5 hours:

Durango, CO
Virgin/Hurricane, UT
Bootleg Canyon, NV
Moab, UT (actually, this is a bit further than 5 hrs)

Sounding good?

if you got nothing to loose, and your prospect is a low paying job in AZ, forget all that crap and move to some metro area in brazil or chile or peru...

you can easily land an english teacher job that pays 900-1000 bucks a month, and with that afford an appartment equivalent to a 2k a month appartment in the US, a full-time maid, afford eating out and partying and dhing every weekend.

plus you´d get to know in the school lots of late teen, early 20 chicks in the school that dig americans...
i know lots of french and american young fellas doing that around here....

with a 1000 bucks a month salary here, you´ll live a life equivalent to the life you´d live in the us with a 80k a year salary....
