Smashing your gooch

Absolutely whacked my gooch on my saddle today :shock: dropping back in to the saddle way too hard as I rode over a bump, having been giving it some on the flat in the first few minutes of riding. I was in bl**dy agony for about 10 minutes and thought I'd done some real damage.
Not that I have done it before but it got me thinking, what are the long term issues of repeated gooch belting like that? Can't be good, any doctors in the house?

  • Well I've never heard it get called a gooch before

    :lol::lol: I have no clue why it is called a gooch, to be honest I'm just getting down with the kids lingo on that one. I was informed some months ago by my good woman’s younger bro that that is what it's called these days. Mind you I never had a name for it myself apart from my undercarriage..... this is turning out to be a nice thread eh!

    In my experience, repeated 'gooch' pummelling tends not to happen. Most men try very, very hard to prevent a re-occurrence.

    When riding over road obstacles, get up on the pedals with knees slightly bent, only come back onto the seat when the road is smooth again, and do it gently. :wink:

    Gooch is a term that is used by stupid people who have learned it from the show, "Jackass."

    Glad I put my use of the term in single quotes to show I was quoting, thus proving I am not stupid. 8)

    All the cool kids were using the term 'gooch' at my school over 20 years ago, being young and naive I always thought they were talking about cricket!
