If you were going to move somewhere just for the biking, where would it be?

Did you even READ the thread title?
Did you even read the whole first post?
Thanks for playing, though.
colorado .
Well, I did almost this in real life. We grew to HATE San Diego so we went on a series of trips to find somewhere else to live. We settled on Bend for the riding. Now, if I could open that up to anywhere in the world I'd have to do some more research. I really liked Switzerland and Chamonix riding.
So to clarify first, are we picking a spot we'd live in 100% of the time? See, I live just south of Carson City, NV, so places like Kirkwood, Northstar, Tahoe, Squaw Valley, and Mammoth are no more than a 2hr drive for me. Heck, even Virginia City has some ok riding.
Now, if I DO have to live there 100% of the time, well.............................. forget it, I'm staying where I'm at.

Keeping in bike parts and booze is a far cry from "maintaining a solid career"... dumba$$.
I own many bikes and drink a lot. I almost need to get a second job.Keeping in bike parts and booze is a far cry from "maintaining a solid career"... dumba$$.
At this point I'd say British columbia.
Seems like you could get the best of both worlds, biking and snowboarding. Epic riding the whole year on snow and dirt... That would be as good as it gets...

This is sad.
I kid. That would make me an alcoholic.
Oregon, MOARzine,Chile,B.C,Colorado,Bellingham... In no particular order.
Just spin the wheel and drop me somewhere. I will find work anywhere quick and I dont drink that much. You can Grow your own..um...Vegies.

From the places I've ridden I'd have to say northern VT (I've ridden all over New England, Brevard/Ashville several times along with CO, UT, MT). VT has Kingdom Trails / Burke Bike Park, Stowe, Middlebury, Millstone.... Plus, great snow and mellow vibe and the Whites aren't too far for awesome hiking.

No government to extort no stinking tax from me = mo money for biking!
mo money, mo bikes
Finale Ligure!!
these two parking spots look level
LOL... BL is a d 1 c k
I second that.
I moved to Golden and gotta say, it kicks ass. (as does Colorado in general)
Great trail riding from home, short drive to tons more, >90 minutes to three bike parks, high alpine CO singletrack a few months a year. I'm surrounded by mountain views but can be in downtown Denver in 30 minutes.

How is the job market there? How insane is housing?
I don't think the job market isn't too bad. Stoney found work here in like 2 weeks, my neighbor just found a new job as well. As an educated lawyer type you HAVE to be employable to SOMEBODY. No?
Housing in Golden is higher than the surrounding areas (demand) but overall not as bad as Chicago where I am from. Insane is relative, of course.
Meh. It's alright... but there are better places in the world if mt biking is top priority.
This was just hypothetical. I actually like Phoenix. I think it means I've lost my marbles, but good biking, strange politics, lots of guns, not horrid weather 8 months a year. My dogs are happy here. I'm living well here.
Not 100% sure this is forever in Phoenix, but it'll do for the time being. Still thinking about a "triumphant" return to New Orleans, but that's a long way down the road. Gotta stack some piles before that's an option.

I'm sure, but I'm reading Dirt's post as "I need to work and likely banned from multiple foreign countries."
Just the ones that discourage glory holing.
Not enough teeth, booze, or women who have a diverse genetic background.
Holycrap, you have standards ?
They're few and far between, but the ones I have are hard and fast.
i second that.
slovenia ain't too shabby, either. riding is great, people have devastating drinking habits, and the chicks are hot, too.
He's already in trouble in PHX and is looking for an escape hatch.
Well, if you like to live somewhere where the mafia controls the whole country which is almost bancrupt, this is the place to be.
Riding is good though. The wine also.
And the chicks: Well they look hot in young age but they are definitely crazy. When they get married they usually become fat. And they think their pvssy is golden or the holy grail.
Just keep this in your mind:
What about Graz? It's ~30mins from Maribor and seemed like a bigger city with richer life. Never been to Ljubljana. The chicks are got. Anything in the east yurp is good for that.
btw. Monarch - I always thought that the northern regions of Italy are better of financialy and people are a bit lower on the bat**** scale. I'm often in italy but allways as a tourist so I may be wrong..
graz is not bad, riding is inferior to slovenia i.e. maribor in my case(but by no means bad!), beer is more expensive and the chicks are hard to persuade that their pvssies are meant to be used. otherwise a great place, rich cultural scene, music, arts, theater and the whole shebang...
That's the thing with me. I'm all up for the chicks and riding but I also like a city with a lot of non biking stuff to do. I know it's a bad thing but I like hanging out with hipsters, the whole city coulture, concerts and stuff. Harder to get that in good biking cities. Though who am I kidding I'm still far away from moving. I didn't finish my eng. degree and want to work in media/ads. I have 2 months of experiance in a media house, some freelance jobs as a creative and some journalistic experiance so moving from Poland won't happen in the next few years.
You're right, especially in the region where I live. But the problem is still the same. If Italy goes bancrupt our region will also go down the drain. Hopefully we will get a new president soon. Silvio wants to step back. The hope is that we get some things sorted. Otherwise our future will look like that in Greece.
Also people here don't really like mountain biking (south tyrol, german part of Italy) but its getting better.
Personally I think Austria would be the better place to ride and live. Awesome and motivated people, nice mountains, good snow in the winter and the girls are definitely friendlier
