I'm ok with having to pay a reasonable fee to freeride/trail ride somewhere as long as there are more than just a few options. Is that the case in TX or do you have to know people ? As far as MX, i just want an area with big/fun jumps

Thats a damn shame. BUT TX does circles around AZ as far as engineering job oportunities and stable economy, which is why I started looking into moving there. Colorado may be on my list of states to move to as well

You can or can't pull off the road to ride in TX?

I was amazed that 96% of Texas is private land. I have just found out about that. I would think that finding open places that you can freeride for miles like you can in AZ would be a problem. Is that true?

My ifdea of the weekend is some goid hiking/freeriding/mountain biking. Nightlife/ social scene are important as well. I do want to pick a place that has that good otutdoor activity options within a 1hr of driving if possible. Right now I'm torn between Texas and Arizona (Phoenix area)but Texas seems to have a much better job market and economy. Great...

I'd consider Dallas and Houston, but I've heard from a few people that Austin and San Antonio are much better all around cities.

What about good trail riding/ freeride oprions around Austin?

There are a few tracks within 1.5hrs of where we live in Mass. Idl'd say that tracks around Mass are average at nest and trails aren't good either. Plus Mass is way too congested and overpriced for my tastes. And the riding season is way too short. That's why I need to move down south.

How about Austin/San antonio area? Decent trail riding and track selection?

Hell yeah man. I'll definitely hit you up!! Thanks for the offer!

That sounds amazing. And yes, I used to ride downhill MTB. I still have a freeride MTB that has been collecting dust in Mass haha. Are you from Mass originally or is 978 your race number?

What is FTT?

Absolutely. I wont be able to move out till November, so I will start searching around October. I heard that job market has recovered for the most part though.

Im a mechanical engineer with 2.5 years of experience plus 5 years of relevant hands-on experience

Ohh man. You are making me miss AZ even more haha. The main challenge is finding a job there while being a resident of MA.

Thanks for the offer man. I think my next drive up to AZ might involve a big UHaul truck

Awesome. Thanks for the input bud!

Im totally content with having 3 tracks in the valley as long as they are within 1 to 1.5 hours from wherever I am and I can ride couple night practices during the week. Im more into building and riding natural terrain jumps as well as having a variety of different terrain and types of riding within a,few hours. I...
