mountainese


the lingo used amongst mountainbike folk.
examples of “mountainese”:

“it’s a little technical.”
— last time we rode here, we cracked a frame, had 3 snake bites, and taco-ed a wheel.

“this is the last climb.”
— this is really not the last climb, in fact, we’re not even halfway. but if i tell you that, chances are you’ll throw down your bike and won’t talk to me for a month.

“i found this kick–ss trail!”
— pack your id and some ky jelly, because chances are we’ll spend the night in jail for tresp-ssing.

“a yard sale”
— a horrendous crash that leaves all your various “wares” — water bottles, pump, tool bag, etc. — scattered as if on display for sale.

” ‘rhoid buffing”
— going down a hill so steep that your b-tt touches the rear wheel

“hope you got your granny gear working!”
— we’re going to do some never-ending, impossible climbs. (a granny gear is the lowest gear available on a bike, designed for ultra-steep uphill climbing.)
