One my mom made up first time she joined me on a ride lol

"that's a burner"

Burner- steep or tough section of trail that makes your leg muscles burn.

Superman - Results are the same as Endo described above but in this case it's the actual act of coming free of the bike (in most cases) and flying over the handlebars.

I was laughing pretty hard at some of these. It's amazing what words take on a whole new mening in another country.
What country referes the the bar end plugs as "butt plugs"?

I've also heard the term "Taking a soil sample" around here. Referes to eating dirt involuntarily.

I'm still trying to distiguish more between freeride, all mountain and cross country riding...
I ride singletrack here in Indiana. Mostly dirt trails winding thru the woods. Some long downhill runs are pushing the limits of my suspension as roots, and bumps take their toll, otherwise it's just rolling hills, occasionaly logs, and rocks, but not rockgardens.

I just came up with a new one Sunday...
Pole-vaulting. When you're riding singletrack cut into the side of a hill, and your pedal closest to the hill catches and digs in and sends the all or part of you and your bike into the air.

What does BB mean? I'm new here and I see it used a lot but no definitions D:

Here's an example from: viewtopic.php?f=83&t=5240#p27397

Your getting all new technology in that unit with a revised BB which is very similar to one which I had reviewed on the Respond crankset.

Auger In: Is a deep soil sample

Flying W: Both feet become unclipped and rise above your head as you try to save it. Usual result; refer to Auger In.

Just a couple off the cuff that were missed. Later,

Trail Gnome: What we blame for crashes that just have no other explanation.
