"How are you finding those forks/tyres/cable end caps?" 😉
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. 🙂
rawks
all biking/surfing terms annoy me abit...i just dont see why "stoked" has to replace "im looking forward to a jolly good ride"
Watch this....!
You just know what's going to happen next...!

Tally ho!
"I need to tweek the lower part of the compression rebound as there is a little too much damping bla bla bla bla bla"
Corners like it's on rails (can't believe no-one's mentioned that yet!)
Buttery smooth
not restricted to biking, but I hate 'rocked up'.
weve run out of cake
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?
Let's go to a trail centre.
x y interface.
out in the middle of no-where in the mist & then.....
'Sorry guys I think we're lost!!!' 😕
"Ahhhh!"
As the rider in front of me voided his bowels on the trail-side at Sleepless!
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.
GSter, sounds like you were pwned.
As a stand-alone statement, this does some beating:
"I did get my hardtail ass spanked by my mate " 😳
Pimpin', razzin', pinnin'. Oh no can't use the perfectly descriptive words that exist already, got to use new ones in order to appear cool in front of one's peers. <stewie voice off>
Till wench in Welsh accent - "No, you only gave me a tenner"
I miss "pimpin'", "Pimp" and "pimped-out". I wish people would start saying them again. 🙂
massive over use of 'super' as an adjective
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.
It's not so much phrases with me it's people who feel they must have their bike name involved in their forum name,you know the ones...
🙄
ti29er, looks like you've caught me out there! I'm officially a hypocrite, shock horror.
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..."

GSter, sounds like you were pwned.
May well have been!
I am sure he is a very nice man!! 😆
its not so much phrases with me it's people wo feel they must have their computer name involved in their forum nane, you know the ones...
:wink:emac65 😆
weve run out of cake
Yep, bacon too. 😥
As for all this "stoked", "uber", "gnarr", etc. etc. I never hear that sort of stuff. You guys are clearly spending too much time at trail centres.. 😀
Oops, double post. Which is probably an appropriate phrase for this discussion.
"You'll need to put your saddle down"
etc....
"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."
😉
'just gonna session this section' . . . . in the peak for f*** sake. . . just get on and ride you tart. . . .
Rob - what I meant was that, were you to read that sentence as a one-off, stand-alone statement, and knew not where it originated, it's a just corking phrase.
A bit like the MotoGp comment: "Colin Edwards has a a soft rear" .
In years gone by such comments during broadcasts used to end up in an annual book called something like "Coleman's Balls".
Another one: "I must get out on the bike (more)..." which one neighbour has been saying for well over a year. He's now on statins for his cholesterol levels.
"well, it looked alright on the map"
😆
"oh shit is that a crack on your frame?!"
" i think your overbiked ",what does that mean? **** off!
'looks doable'
No points for getting what usually happens next.
oh and
'I THINK we are nearly at the top'
" i think your overbiked ",what does that mean? **** off!
6+ inches of travel when there's no technical stuff? See a fair amount of that, and you do wonder what they were thinking when they bought that bike.
'I THINK we are nearly at the top'
Yeah, also "only another 200 meters to go... vertically."
being shown some new singletrack, "theres a coll section of singletrack that misses out that bit" (about a mile of awesome singletrack, but involving a hill and brambles) that turned out to be a muddy fireroad drag followed by a straight bit of singletrack, and a drop I couldnt ride, not a huge one, about a foot to a steep but short run out, but the take off was on a corner and I just wasn't in the zone that day.
6+ inches of travel when there's no technical stuff? See a fair amount of that, and you do wonder [b]where they are riding to locally that needs a big bike as you think you'd like to have a go on your 6" bike that looks like their[/b] bike.
Good point.
