Ever dreamed of being a mountain bike guide?
A real job, no haircut required!!: An invitation to work for Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking in Bolivia, South America.
The bulk of our work is guiding 1-day downhill mountain bike tours on dirt roads, and this means that we have to head out into the hills for -- Day after Day after Day of…
40+-mile downhill mountain bike rides -- more than 11,000 feet of descent every time! I guess it's one of the hazards of being a mountain bike guide
on the edge of the Andes
Damn it, someone has to mountain bike down those huge trails!!
(NOTE: Before you get too excited, 90-95% of this guiding is of beginner-level mountain bikers on dirt roads; only some of the time do we get paid to rip it up with more experienced riders on single-track.)
If the idea of this kind of riding doesn't get you down, then read on… TEAM GRAVITY, the employees and racers of GRAVITY ASSISTED MOUNTAIN BIKING, are NOW looking for suitably crazy individuals to join us for Season 2007 for a full-on, action-packed year of guiding, mechanicing, racing, selling, adventuring and partying in the downhill mountain biking mecca that is the area around La Paz, Bolivia, South America. GRAVITY ASSISTED MOUNTAIN BIKING is the premier operator of 1-day downhill and multi-day adventure mountain bike tours in Bolivia. To learn a bit more about us check out our web site: www.gravitybolivia.com. We are also mentioned and highly recommended in EVERY SINGLE DAMN guidebook to South America and Bolivia! We have been featured in more than 70 magazine and newspaper articles in publications around the world … not to mention four television programs! For 2007 we are looking for several multi-talented individuals who are interested in working for a full season (early-February until mid-December). Beat Me, Whip Me, Make Me Beg for More: We are looking for people with PERSONALITY, PATIENCE, SOCIAL SKILLS, plus a SENSE OF HUMOUR and ADVENTURE… oh, and you have to be able to ride a mountain bike, have good mechanicing skills, be First Aid qualified, and have rope rescue skills. Having some basic Spanish language skills would give you an advantage, but it’s definitely not essential. We are also interested in several people to work doing face-to-face sales to the hordes of backpackers clamoring to ride with Gravity (this position has in the past worked well for non-riding partners of guides). Only a few positions still left, so contact us on info@gravitybolivia.com I you are interested and we will send you a pack of additional information. Cheers Alistair “El Jefe” Matthew www.gravitybolivia.com Photos of the awesome riding in Bolivia can be found in the photo galleries on our website, in particular of the WMDR ride (http://www.gravitybolivia.com/galle...stDangerousRoad) And of the single-track riding (http://www.gravitybolivia.com/galle...TrackAdventures) Last edited by GravityBolivia : 28-11.-2006 at 09:46 AM. |
