I think the problem is this case was that he shredded something else.

Degloved Penis is the worst I've heard. Someone did that a couple of years back at GT.

If it happened as a result of sitting on the back wheel and the back wheel continuing to rotate, I'm pretty sure I know who that was.

Instead of "Goodbye" a chap said "Good Trails" to me on The Wall last week. Do people actually say that or has this guy made it up?

"Way cool!"
"Rad-man!"
"You're the Man!"

Almost anything prefixed with "Like..." For example, "Like, well cool man".

Likewise, "Basically....." For example, "Basically; I really nailed that berm...." and for some reason that one word seems to start their every sentence, which is hopelessly wrong.

Oh, and a pet hate, when people type using more than one !!!!! - such as that.
One is more than enough, trust me.

It's exactly the same, albeit a typed missive, as trying to emphasie your point or diction with an annoying turn of phrase (the topic of this thread) when it's not needed.

Not so much a phrase, but that relly embarrasing handshake thing that they do on "extreme" videos at the end of a run.Even worse when your mate insists on doing it in the crowded carpark at the end of a ride.

Easy enough way to stop that sort of mince Coatesy - when he starts doing that, jump off your bike, give him a huge bear hug (lifting him clean off the ground) and shouting 'I love you man!'...that should stop any of that rubbish!

Any sort of complement (Hey, nice bike...), advice (You should try wider bars...), technical insights (Cool, you know those forks can do x, y and z), or style tips (You should by a yellow saddle...) from anyone about my bike.

Basically, i don't care what you think.

Oi!STOKED is for surfing so leave it alone.

I prefer SPOKED for biking + will now be shouting it at random intervals (particularly in trailhead car parks) with the specific intention of annoying the miserable -------- on here...........

I dont know - I really enjoy pointing out how much better forks would be if they were white...

Strangely most of my mates now have white forks!

It is mostly rideable ....you will carry your bike up and down a mountain for no reason at all.

It might be a bit muddy.... only your chainstays will stop you disappearing up to your kneck

Sorry dude - they would be 10% more plush and 5% more gnarr friendly and also more vertically compliant and laterally stiff if they were white!

Fun trails and rubber side down! Keep it stocked!

Some bloke shouting to his mate, "ride it like you stole it!" and "ride it like a Ti-fighter!" or some utter sh1te like that, I really wanted to punch him clean between the eyes. Can't recall where it was, but almost certainly a trail centre, that's where all the rad dudes hang out, right?

massive over use of 'super' as an adjective.

Super fast
Super steep
Super slack
Super stoked!

Sorry to say I quite like stoked - it's an accurate description of how good you can feel after a particuarly fantastic session/ride. Really chuffed or very happy doesn't quite fit. 🙂

Forgive me for this but I think it needs pointing out:

"range of frames with some fairly radical geometry that could probably be called Nu Skool Hardcore Hardtail. Or something. At the end of the day the ??? is aimed at at riders who ride steep techy stuff...... (and) are mainly about The Nadge"

Can someone please translate this for me?

Before getting back into biking, whilst walking on Leckhampton Hill, I challenged a friggin lunatic MTBer about riding on a footpath...his repsonse was
"You fat c**t, you can have a slap the next time I ride past!"

I picked up a big log and suggested he came arund to speak to me again...the pussy rode off....I have been looking for him ever since ! 😉

It made me laugh !

At the afan forest a few years ago I was talking to a lad who was about to go and do the whites level. He said he was leaving the hard tail in the van and taking the "free ride light bike up there..."
The worst thing I say myself is one more go and then home...! Big mistake.

I dislike anything along the lines of

"flat out, the bike was at its limit"

Also people forever talking about barely used suspension tuned to give them the edge.

Although I did get my hardtail ass spanked by my mate on his pushed prophet the other day so perhaps i should go in search of the edge.

for me, it's "uber..."
luckily I only ever read it - don't think I could avoid commenting if somebody said it to me

"You'll need at least six inches of travel to clean it"
"You'll never clean it on a hardtail"
"You'll need to put your saddle down"
etc....

In fact; any sort of prescription related to the bike itself, in relation to 'technical' riding, doled out by fatties on semi-free-hardcore-docking-devices.

Almost anything prefixed with "Like..." For example, "Like, well cool man".

Whereas you put it at the end of a sentence and it's a standard Welsh expression.

"I lost it and rode straight into that tree, like"

On a different note, a few of us had been up at CyB for a long day, found somewhere to camp and wandered into the local pub. As the barmaid is pulling the beer my mate announces into the silence "My bum is SOOOO sore" while rubbing himslef vigorously. The barmaid didn't bat an eyelid.

Whilst "guiding" in Morzine in years gone by:

"If we were in afan/glentress I would have ridden that"

or (after struggling/walking up a short climb)

"must be the altitude....how high are we here?"

or after riding badly

"these forks/tyres/handlebars feel a bit odd..."

"But I never put my saddle down". 🙄

See also:

"These tyres are fine at home."
"I don't like those thick tubes, they're really heavy."
"I've never boiled my brakes at home."
"My bike's making a funny noise."
😉
