One of my friends still does it - though he did have a big break from MTB since the mid 90s - and so does someone on eBay whose item I just checked out.
Wondered if the term is still in use by anyone else?
I'm now rocking "all dat bling-shizzle" instead.

Never
I suspect you had to be in the '70's custom car scene to ever describe something as 'trick' 😉
I described a wheelchair as trick recently. Does that count ?

I suspect it would have been something like this:

I would have been about 12
I've probably used it, usualy to describe those uprgardes you make once the bike's already sorted and are purely gilding.
I do regulalry used line, dialled and gnarly though!
About 17 years ago i think
Hmmm, used to use the word in the early 1980s as it was used a lot in US motocross magazines.
Edit: As was gnarly.
about the same time i last used 'fizzypop'

about 20 minutes ago then.
I think I last did in the mid 90s. After that, I got a job and could afford the bits. Once you own them, they seem less trick.
1998 ? think i was 12 back then....
So it's just me then ? 😳
In the words of my 13 year old stepdaughter "You're not cool, you're old".
it can only be time for
yeas theyve been posted before, but still funny and relevant to OP
Must have been 11-12?
BMX Z-Rims (anyone old enough to remeber them)
The magic of sticking them in your fridge to true them again, the word 'trick' back then could well have been used.
Untill I shattered them 😉

1996?
17th may 2012 (in an email), in reference to some cranks for a fixie. The 90’s are cool again in London’s trendy East London.
All the time, nowt wrong with it.
I'm also thinking of reviving the word "skill".

You mean [b]ACS[/b] Z Rims I pressume? 😉
I cracked quite a few rear hub flanges seing how far i could flex them. 🙄
In answer to the original question. I use the term Ratners instead of trick.
I once had a jacket I was wearing described as "trick" by a shop assistant in St Andrews
Probably last used the word "trick" at the same time as I referred to a lady garden as a "biff".
Casually browsing EBay tonight and apparently SLX cranks are 'trick'. Shame as I may have put a bid in for these had they been normal SLX cranks.

(Not my sale BTW)
is this a trick question
chakaping - MemberLine?
Please elaborate.
Certainly; I knew this one would get picked up on 🙂
It's regarding calling a track/trail/path etc. a "line".
I'm familiar with the term "racing line" and the concept of A & B lines in DH racing, however I find a comment such as...
Old School is my favourite line here
(when riding at Ribbesford)*
...to be MBUKtastic and worthy of nothing but derision 
*This is a true story, no names were changed to protect anyone.
Gotcha, ta.
Kevj - That was the very item that prompted this thread!
