If you could move anywhere in the county where would you go and why? I know this doesn't sound very moto but bear with me. I raced for many years but now I'm just a guy that really loves to ride my bike. I will be finishing paramedic school and with a current national registry I can get a job just about anywhere. On top of that I work for a sister company to AMR (largest ambulance provider in the country) and have already talked to the lady in staffing about a transfer and that option is open also. Anyways back on topic, I just enjoy riding my bike, mx, single track, free ride type stuff, but also like mountain biking and would like to try down hill mountain biking and things like that. I know California is the obvious answer but I'm looking to see what other ideas people have. So where would you go?
Update: I have accepted a job just outside denver Colorado. Moving March 9th. Anybody local to that area?

In regards to the original question, there's tons of places all over the western US that could satisfy your requirements. Certainly any of the Mountain West states (Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Eastern California) have all of that terrain and more. Throw Washington and Oregon in the mix, along with Idaho and Wyoming, and you have quite a wide variety of options available to you. Then there's the Northeast with its incredible loam, Southeast with its sand/clay, and even some Midwestern states... You get the picture. I realize this isn't helping.
Personally, I'm a western US/west coast guy. If I were you I'd likely choose Colorado, Washington, or Oregon.
To each his own.
My quality of life skyrocketed since moving here. Honestly, there's too much to do...
If I had to pick a new home... NC SC TX.
oregon or washington hands down.
i live in bremerton washington and its pretty amazing for moto, mtb, and skiing.
many practice tracks within 2 hours, and good local race series.
tons of enduro and shuttlable dh mtb.
skiing year round if youre dedicated and willing to hike.
Plus there is topless coffee stands and good local beer.
Why was I not made aware of this
Pit Row
Answer to your question:
1) Anywhere in Colorado
2) Anywhere in Utah
3) Just about anywhere in the Pacific NW
Unless you want to live amongst 16 million people I would avoid SoCal but you're a young man so could handle that just fine if that is where life takes you. Best of luck.
looking at a riddle...
If I Could....
ride like Ryan Dungey I wouldn't be sitting in a motel room in Carlisle, Pa. waiting to get a semi repaired...
This guy on YouTube is from Colorado, I've seen videos where he occasionally rides Thunder Valley. Might be a good person to talk to about tracks around that area.
