    Tell me about Vancouver BC, considering a move next year

    I have a BSc in Computer Science, left Ireland(the tech hub of Europe at the moment) to come here thinking it would be just as easy to get a job, but I was wrong haha! College seems to be structured differently here, students end up with 4 or 5 internships under their belts coming out of...

    Tell me about Vancouver BC, considering a move next year

    I can't comment on US->Canada immigration policies, but for Ireland it was a joke, filled out a few forms and got a 2 year working visa with no job set up and not even an embassy interview.

    Tell me about Vancouver BC, considering a move next year

    Ok so I'm fresh out of college and struggling to get a job here, so I'm on a budget, but when I was living in Isla Vista i could get 30 cans of **** beer for ~15 dollars, here it's more like 15 cans for 30! You can't get chicken for anything less than 8 dollars for a couple of breasts, milk is...

    Tell me about Vancouver BC, considering a move next year

    Moved here from Ireland 2 months ago. Very expensive place to live, food and liquor is ludicrously priced! There are definitely a lot of engineering jobs around, I doubt you will struggle based on being a US citizen, I know plenty of Irish that got good engineering jobs no problem. Rent is...

    Tried to buy that sx trail III but I just missed out. Anyone got any other suggestions for a freeride/all mountain kind of bike, I don't really know any bikes in that category.

    Ok I think maybe going for a more all round bike would be a better idea as I won't have a car for a couple of months and don't really know anyone here, so I would definitely be cycling to trails in the beginning. I will look into the bikes posted and I signed up to nsmb, thanks again for all the...

    Also by trail bike do you mean a FR bike or more of a XC/AM bike? I'm not massively interested in long, uphill, pedally type trails, but I get what you mean about having to get to where I want to go on the bike too. Any recommendations on a good all rounder? Or what kind of travel front and rear...

    This is something I've been thinking about also, I'm not going to have a car for a while, so maybe downhill bike isn't the best option, but it's what I've been looking forward to for years so I'm kind of torn. Thanks for all of the advice guys!

    Beginner Advice

    Hi, I just moved to the North Shore, and I am dying to start Downhill biking, but I need some advice. I have 1000 CAD to get a second hand bike and have no idea where to start!

    Also how did he hit the ramp properly with that curb like a metre away from it? If he ollied even slightly at the speed he would need to have been at to be that high up the wall he would have just ploughed into the ramp.
